Tough tested Reo?

[AmnNate]

Does anybody else have a sorta beat up Reo? I love my Grand and it's still vapin like a champ, but I've only had it for like two weeks and already dropped it on asphalt a few times, lol clumsy me. It's really only got a few dents and knicks near the edges, but nothing to actually break anything except the perfection. At first I was devestated , but after thinking about it, (and having named it Skillet for the popping atty/carto sounds and the black/black color) it makes it MINE, ya know? Just like an old worn in cast iron skillet. I've read about how tough these feel and seem to be built, but who owns a Reo that has "taked a lickin and keeps tickin"?

Someone ran over one with a Jeep. Lisa knows the full story.

That's awesome! Can't wait to hear it, lol.

The reason I am selling this so cheap is I dropped it out my car window doing 80 it was ran over 10 times by a 18teen wheeler.
Then there was a army bergade with tanks and they ran over it.
So its in very bad shape and don't even work or look like a reo for that matter...

Someone dropped theirs in an icechest and didn't find it for a few days. Dried it out, new battery, new atty and "rock n roll"

Maybe we should start a "REO horror stories" thread to save the stories for posterity.

dropped in a bucket of used motor oil,new atomiser,new batt.,new juice,works like it should

I had a horse step on one of mine, have dropped one from in the saddle, dropped on concrete flooring, and even dropped in water buckets. Still work great, and no major cosmetic flaws either. Like I've said before they are practically indestructible.

One Reonaut dropped theirs off of a fast moving Motorcycle onto pavement or rocks.

Reos are poor swimmers (they all sink) but I do have some that like to try to swim in my spa. For the metals I just pop the battery and bottle out (atty off too) and give it a soak in distilled water to get spa chems well out of firing mechanism box. Then a dunk in alcohol to dry out faster. Let dry and all clean and dandy.

I prefer using one of my wood 801 Reos in the spa, though, as I can stay in spa, dry off with a microfibre towel, blow out the 801, and only miss a tiny beat. I keep the woods well saturated with Howard's Fees and wax on bare, unfinished wood and Howard's Sun oil on outside.

I'm really anxious to get an 801 fully stabilized Midi Woodvil, as my Star Swim Team Member, as there will be no worries at all when he decides to swim.

Warning..... If you are letting them "swim" in a body of water other than a pool or spa they have to have a life jacket.

I remember Jesse was tailgating at a Packers game and lost his Grand. 3 days later he went back to the parking lot and found it sitting open and filled with rain water. Dried it off and it didn't miss a beat.

*edit....seriously, MX and I were going to take a couple REOs and put them through some "durability" tests...then these happened. No need.

Wow, yeah, I was just walkin down some concrete stairs when my grand decided to jump out of my ankle pocket of my Air Force uniform. It only fell like a foot, but it bounced down 2 steps and then slid across the asphalt at the bottom. Bummer. 2 or 3 days later I just dropped it onto a road while carrying too many things, lol. My poor Skillet looks worse than the Green Hornet pictures, but like I said, it's officially MINE and still blows me away at every vape. ALL HAIL THE REO!!!

Yep I have a first run Grand from 10 months ago that has seen its share of accidental damage.
Never let me down though ... thats why I got it.

And my mini sat in ice water for a few days

What other pv can handle all the abuse each of us have put ours through and afterwards vape just as good as the day we unwrapped it?

Genius, simply genius!
