Well, seems like I have an electrical short in my PV (Vmod XL) and I need a new one (battery and button spring got hot and melted the plastic on the inside). Good news: it's covered under warranty and it'll be replaced (thank you vapage!). Bad news: I don't have a backup while I send in the old one and wait for the new one. CRAP!! I will NOT resort to buying cigarettes, so there's a win for me, but I may go pick up an njoy or whatever else the gas station sells just to get me by. I went half of yesterday and all of today so far without my PV, and although I'm controlling my urges, I could really use some nicotine right now. I used to have a backup, but I never replaced the clearomizers when they died (I figured I'd never touch my SI X2 ever again), and I don't have an adapter to fit my newer 510 stuff on my old battery. Lessons learned the hard way, but hey, I further realized just how well I'm really doing with this e-cig stuff! Today is my 88th day of NO cigarettes!! Being so close to my 100th day, I may just go ahead and order a Reo Grand and save the new Vmod for my backup!
Ut oh, the importance of backups!

Get an njoy or something to hold you over for sure .
And yes a Reo Grand should be in your future, they are practically bulletproof.

My back-up's back-up have back-ups of their own and then I have the emergency mods. I would have to bust a dozen mods before i started to worry much about not having vaping supplies on hand...lol
I want a reo grand too but i dont think you can just up and order one, theres a whole complicated process, otherwise i'd have one by now.
Hmm, I just hit "Buy Now" and a regular checkout to buy my VV Grand, what's this complicated process?
What's complicated? You find one you want that is in stock, click buy it now and go to the check out...simple enough...
Looks like a pretty good selection in Grands right now as well.

Doesn't seem too complicated to me, either. You just kind of click and buy, lol. Anyway, I'm totally going all in on a new Reo Grand - that decision is made. I just e-mailed Robert to see if he can switch some stuff up for me or if I could purchase an extra door so I can get my preferred color combination. I can live with some of the options currently available, but I'd really love a black wrinkle body with a silver vein door! My hopes are up that I can do this, if not, I think I'll get the all black wrinkle. Hopefully I get a response back before the black wrinkle is gone! I wasn't planning on buying new hardware for a long time, but, this is pretty fun! lol!
I hope you do. A Reo is just the best system for the best vape with the least amount of fuss. You can do RBA for amazing flavor and vapour(and easy to rebuild), excellent battery life, bulletproof, handy like a pack of cigs, and I could go on and on...
My Reo mini is my go to and my back up. The way I back up my Reo mini? Another 14500 battery . I put all my faith in it. But if both batteries are dead, I use my Ego Twist with a Kanger T2.
. I put all my faith in it. But if both batteries are dead, I use my Ego Twist with a Kanger T2.It looks like I may get my wish... the Grand page just updated with some new colors, and a black wrinkle/silver vein was just added as out of stock. I'm thinking he might be in the process of updating for me. BUT, I do love that shiny silver on the black, so I just sent another e-mail asking for black wrinkle with a metallic silver door, lol. Rob probably hates me right now!
I definitely know of the advantages of a bottom feeder - I don't think I'll ever even try another type of device. I knew before that a Reo was better built than the Vmod, and now I really understand why, and I'm happy to spend the money on it (now knowing that I like it). I think my problem would have been avoided if there was no plastic to melt - so yeah, time for the upgrade! I'll probably also order a RBA as well. I was going to order one of those soon anyway, might as well pair it up with a new device and even some new juice! This is kind of a bad day turned AWESOME!!!

ohhh no!!!. yah you best get some backups. did you buy 1 cigg at a time when using analogs.
try to buy pv's that use same batteries so you dont end up with a fleet of those also
Pick up an extra spring (or two) for the Reo. I haven't had a problem with mine, but it is better to have an extra laying around and its only a few bucks.
OH SNAP!! Black wrinkle body with metallic silver door just showed up on the Grand page!!!! It's listed as out of stock right now, but I have a hunch that will change pretty soon. I'm about to be on my way to work, so nobody buy it when it goes up for sale!! hahahaha. I haven't even done business with the guy yet, but Rob is a awesome dude!
You do have at least one B&M, Vapor Leaf. Not sure where they are in relation to you though. MY brother has shopped there (I haven't). They have wonky hours, so check their site.
Funny you mention this, just ordered some "spare" stuff for this very reason. With this newest order, I will have a backup for my backup. My setup is certainly nothing fancy but trying to get to the point that when something happens I won't find myself without the ability to vape
