Difference is huge, and pictures don't do it justice.

Grand's battery is about 3 times larger capacity
Grand's bottle is twice larger capacity
Grand's catch cup accepts larger variety of RBAs
Grand can be kicked, if you switch to 18500 batteries

That said, Mini is much smaller, fits better in hand (at least in my hand), and is much more pocket friendly.

If it's your first, I'd recommend a Grand. Having said that, I have both, and use my Mini more.

^^ that said, a grand is still not very big. It looks a lot bigger in pictures. Now that I'm not using minis, it feels like a mini in my hand. And my VVG feels like a grand. Our red friend is correct when he says the difference is major in capacity and battery life too :).

Also correct when he says you more than likely get whatever you don't buy now in the future. Can't go wrong with any REO.

Thanks for the info, those were the exact questions I was struggling with. Battery capacity was one of my main concerns, so I will wait for the Grand.

And yes, it will be my first Reo, in fact it will be my first mod of any kind. Been using an ego type for my entire first year of vaping. My one year anniversary is coming up in a few days and I'm getting a Reo to celebrate. :)

Yup. After looking carefully at the photos in the comparison thread that Nerak posted, I can see that the Grand will fit my hand quite nicely.

Just got my order in for a Reo Grand Black Wrinkle!

I feel like a kid, and Christmas can't come soon enough. :)

Congratz!!! That is one awesome looking REO! Make sure you have the batteries, charger and atty's, cartos, or an RBA. Robert ships quick.

Watch for your email from PayPal for tracking. It might go to your spam folder. You should get the email in a day or two.

Yup, I ordered batteries, charger and Vape Safe 2 fuse from RTD Vapor. And also ordered some super shorty 1.7 ohm cartos from MadVapes. Don't think I'm ready to mess with RBAs just yet. I'm here for another week, so hopefully it all gets here in time...

Anyway, I should be all set. Thanks!

All REOs are sweet. But a black wrinkle is SWEET. That's one in my hand up there ^.
You are gonna love it. Congrats bro.

Thanks man, it was my first choice.

After I saw they were sold out earlier today I put another notification request in, and shorty after that received an email that it was back in stock. Thanks Robert!

Oh oh, there's another nice thing about Reos that I haven't seen mentioned before.
Usually people don't like to get expensive mods right from the beginning, so as to not waste money in case they don't like them. Reos, however, hold their value very well. On the off chance you decide that bottom feeders are not your bag, baby, you can sell them on classifieds for pretty close to original price.

Somehow I don't think that's going to be an issue. ;) Good to know though.

Dant, I'd also suggest checking out the Mini 2.1...I have one and I love it! It's a little larger than the original mini, has a large catchcup for every RBA ( someone correct me if I'm wrong) and a larger battery than the original mini.

Thanks, I just might do that down the road.
