The VV Reo Grand does not use a 18650, it uses two 18350, the device needs 7.4 volts to offer you a variable voltage experience. The regular Reo Grand is the one that uses a single 18650.

I have a question for you REO gods......I have my first REO, a VV Grand. The REO was purchased new. I understood that these took 18650 batteries. I have been using AW IMR 18650 2000mAh in most of my mods...ProVari, GG's, Titanide, Zen, Cube,......bla bla bla
However in the REO there is a 1-2 mm gap.....I have had to add magnets to take up the space....
Is this normal?

Thank you for any advice :)

OK you REONuts are not going to like this.......but the battery life on this VV suxs
While the batteries are healthy, the vape is awesome....but after a couple of hours....poof...no mas vapor.....
I am in the field for the majority of my day, in the clinic, a barn, a pasture, a truck..... and I must carry 4 additional batteries with me to last the workday.... That is a pain for me. The VV REO is a stout companion, I had a weenling stand on it for giggles....the MOD is solid and can take a beating.......but really sucks up the power :( If a high amp hour battery could be installed instead of the two 18350 700mAh IMR's this MOD would be excellent for me.

for starters how old are these batteries you are running?, what ohm atty? and how much juice are you going thru in a day?
A couple of hours ? are you holding the button down for that entire time?:confused:

Hey Kami, Not sure what you are running on top of your VV but you might try a higher ohm atty/carto/rba. A 3.0 ohm atty at 5v will last longer battery wise than a 1.5 at 3.7v and provide a similar vape experience as they are about the same watts. I have not timed it out but might be worth trying. Maybe only have to carry one extra set?

OH.......OK...I have some new cisco 2.5 ohm attys that arrived today...I shall try those and see what the battery life does....I did not consider the ohm VS battery life....., thank you Rat :)
