Stunning.... Absolutely beautiful workmanship and design. I hope you plan on plenty of initial stock when these go on sale, because I don't foresee these being available for long when you flip the switch for public sales.
The site took a beating during the first stages of the 18490 launch; I have a feeling this next launch will strain the server and merchant tunnel even more... These are going to go fast.. I can't wait to add one of these awesome pieces to my REO collection...

May I ask what's the wood combination of the pictures you posted, Rob? Really like it. Is the back ebony?
I understand u, my friend
Have you tried IKV 801 stealth 3,5ohm with Grand at 7,4v? WOW!!!!! (hit and flavor exceptional....are my favorites atties at the same level of cisco 510 2,5-3ohm)
The only problem is that the 801, after a while, become clogged and puff gets very hard.
But I found a trick
: I remove with cutting pliers the strip of black plastic that surrounds the base of the atom. Thus, the air enters better and the puff becomes perfectLook here:
I look forward to tasting the IKV 801 also on Reo VV
yes both the same and...
3-3 to 5.5 volt adjustment

Whats reallyl behind the cover on the VV Reo.
Elegance in simplicity. I would have figured a tiny Van de Graaf generator hooked up to a tiny Tesla coil, routed through a tiny cathode gun into a tiny bolonium-infused Leyden jar.
WOW Perfection Rob simply PERFECTION!!!! I have been practicing my wood burning skills on all the scrap lumber I can find and tho Im still not comfortable yet to try it on my Nebula Im going to give it a shot on the Lenny's loaner VV Woodchuck (no one tell him)If it turns out good I'll post a before and after pic if doesn't it never happened.
Well the letter burning was done on Lenny's loaner VV mod (glad it came out ok) here are the before and after pics.
BEFORE & AFTER
Im glad you warned me Rob about the difference burning the stabilized wood. Im going to try using the back of the door of the Nebula to see if it will or won't work just in case.
For any of you who have not experienced VV........ You will be AMAZED!!!!!!!! For those of you who have attys and/or cartos put away, that you just couldn't get satisfaction from and/or those you have no idea what they are or where you got them, you'll be able to put them back into use.
A little background ....... Early 2011 I purchased a beautiful new ProVari. I never used it for several reasons, a few being that I was very swamped (as usual) and didn't want to take the time to learn using it, I hadn't yet found a tank that I found easy and messless to use (REOs spoil you to using only feeders), REOs provide the most hassle free vaping experience possible, REOs travel around and sit solidly on most surfaces, etc. So, after months of no use, I traded my unused Provari for a REO (certainly not my first REO). So.............. being so excited about the marraige between the nearly perfect Notcigs VV chip and the one with the safest technology for VV vaping, using stacked batteries, my developing increasing impatience for a VV REO (it's Robert's fault!!!!!), and being weak, I ordered a Notcigs Buzz Pro. This is the safest, most user friendly, most comfortable to use (lighter than Provari) VV tube mod that has the same VV chip that Robert is using in the VV REOs.
I started using it last night with two different carto tanks; the M1A1 and hand blown glass tanks from Notcigs. Dispite the fact that my respiratory system is still quite delicate from the Flu I am still recovering from so I can't inhale much and my ability to taste much flavor is only beginning to function the ability to control the vape is AMAZING!!!!!!! And it is just so easy to control!!!!!
For those of us who have found our sweet spot with our non VV REOs using 3.7v, 5v, 6v we might not think we would get good use out of a VV REO. My experience is that there are enough variations in attys and cartos, even the same brand, lot group, and ohm range, that the VV can overcome most of those variations to turn an otherwise almost perfect vape into the PERFECT VAPE.
For those who haven't found their sweet spot or are new to vaping or who want to sample different attys/cartos, the VV will virtually eliminate the frequently long road to finding a "sweet spot" with just about any atty or carto on hand or purchased.
Currently my throat and lungs are in such a fragile, irritated condition my ability to inhale varies from only being able to pull vapor into my mouth without letting it touch my throat to light inhalation to throat only, to light inhalation to lungs. This varies on what medicine I have taken and how well it is working, that includes ingested meds, syrup cough/expectorants, throat lozenges and the degree of expectorant, cough suppressant, throat desensitization, etc., each has. Using the VV to change the vape, in slight increments of voltage variation, helps me to adjust the vape to my constantly changing respiratory condition. For instance, when, all of a sudden my throat and/or lungs reject the vapor with a coughing "fit" I can lower the voltage to be able to tolerate the vapor. Once one or more meds take affect the lowered voltage makes the vapor seem too "weak" so a small adjustment to higher voltage fixes it back to a "stronger" vape.
Since last night, due to my changing throat/lung conditions, I have vaped the same juice/carto, a 2.7 ohm IKV 510, from 3.4 volts up to ~5.5 volts. (Taste I can't comment on, at this time as my ability to taste is just beginning to come back. I'm vaping FSUSA 100% VG Butterscotch, 1/2 of mix, mixed with 50/50 PG/VG Applewood, 1/2 of mix. I can only detect a slight sweetness and a very slight bit of butterscotch, with my suppressed tasting functions.) But I'm able to vape again increasing/decreasing the strength of the vapor as needed. When I'm able to inhale the lowest voltage, for use when I can't inhale, doesn't give the satisfaction or flavor that I want so I just increase the voltage, with slight turning of adjustment wheel, till the satisfying feel and flavor are reached. When my throat starts rejecting the vapor I reverse the process and lower the voltage until I can tolerate the vapor without having a coughing fit (and then I take some more cough suppressent/throat soothing meds).
With experience one can achieve nearly the same thing switching out juices and or atty/cartos and voltages but for those who have little experience doing this, without many months of using different juices/nic levels/atty/carto combinations, it might not be possible to do the adjustment in a short time; and for some people it may be nearly impossible to even do.
The VV REO will make this possible for virtually ALL!!!!!!
I'm mainly discussing throat hit here but I have just enough ability to taste I know the VV REO is going to be as valuable for taste of juices, too.
On the mend Feisty Alice
BTW.... I probably won't sell the Buzz Pro, when the VV REOs are released, as the funky, hand blown tanks are just so much fun. Although I still have three tube PVs and now four, with the arrival of the Buzz Pro, I've only used, for over a year now, one tube mod, the Roughstack and I've only used it because I don't want to carry any of my REOs out to the woods to work. At the moment it is "lost" but I think it is in the house instead of lost in the woods. I have the Roughstack only because it is a tough little bugger, although it is not mechanical so subject to damage from water and juice leaks, but it is cheap to replace and I wouldn't and haven't "lost it if I lose it." Or if it gets banged up. You can, also, easily replace the circuit board. I haven't had to do that but I did purchase an extra board.
After using and carrying REOs, for over a year and a half, there is no other PV that I would even consider using as my main PV. For sure the tube mods don't travel around and about as well as any REO, metal or WOOD. No mod or conventional PV, I've ever used, and there have been quite a few, can even begin measure up to the toughness of any REO.
Using a feeder ruins the experience of using only a carto. But using a tank, on a battery or tube mod, is very impractical for moving about, carrying in pockets, or using/carrying while doing most activities. When I am working in the woods for a few hours and don't have a REO, which is almost always the case, and use the tough tube mod I have to carry extra batteries and even worse a bottle of juice to top up the carto. After using a feeder using a carto only, without constant topping up is a major drag.
For those of you considering getting a Buzz Pro, keep in mind that you can sell them for a decent price. Don't expect the value retention of a REO but do consider that the $20 or so you won't make back as rental and a tool to hold you over till you get your MOST EXCELLENT VV REO.

Attention Mr. REO. I still maintain that Feisty Greedy Crazy Alice needs to beta test a VV REO in high moisture spa conditions!!!!

Alice with all your reos you can dedicate one for working in the woods. I am glad your feeling better Alice its the hooples you no there infected . You have to hide from them .You have a buzz pro Alice take it in the spa give it a swimming lesson
We no the reos are swimmers

Heh, yeah. If the grand wasn't indestructible, mine would defiantly be dead long ago. I've dropped it hundreds of times on concrete from varying heights. I dropped it 20 ft out of a tree on to hard ground. That time and others the impact broke the atty that was attached to it, but all I did was replace the atty, maybe wipe out the feed cup, squonk and enjoy. I dropped it in to the river last summer. I had to dive around for 30 min before I found it (the ONE time I regretted buying an all black grand). I expected to have to replace the battery (as I had one other battery go belly up after it got wet), but it and needless to say my reo, came back to life after I washed and dried it. I feel confident that I could use my reo as a blunt object in a physical altercation and be able to enjoy a post-fight vape.
Ye 'ole grand looks pretty rough now-a-days, but that's ok. So did my old zippo before I started vaping. The VV woodvil I'm looking forward to will be awesome for around the house and black tie events, but my daily carry will always be the grand. So yeah, I agree, pick one of your reos and make it your woods ready buddy......and do yourself a favor and pick the shiniest, most standing-out-on-the-forest-floor reo you've got so you can find it easily when you drop it.....oh and get a cell phone holster to use when you are out in the boondocks to minimize the drop potential.
Alice with all your reos you can dedicate one for working in the woods.
I'm not as concerned about banging one up, as I keep them pretty protected, as much as losing one. Being aflicted by collecting REOs, after a short bit of time each and every REO becomes a "collectible" and a valuable part of The REO Collection. In fact I'm experiencing quite a dilemma right now. I purchased a REO Mini body, from Karen, for a greatly reduced price, for a knock about." She purchased the used REO to get the Polished Purple door. It was a great situation for both of us. The Silver Mini finish is almost perfect with virtually no scratches or small dings. It does, though, have a major deep BIG DING on one edge but the anodization is not displaced. I don't know how it happened but being Silver Anodized you hardly see it unless looking closely. The problem is that it has very unusual milling marks inside, unlike any of my other 20+ metal REOs. So does it become DH's knock about and travel REO (subject to his leaving it in the Hotel or Rental car, as has happened before....... luckily Hertz did have it waiting for him the next week, but it was "missing" for almost a week.) or does it go into The Collection, with only casual use around the house or in personal cars, not carried further than house or personal car??????????????? So the issue is not so much knocking them about but LOSING ONE.
I am glad your feeling better Alice its the hooples you no there infected. You have to hide from them.
Thanks. I'm much improved but still fragile and needing way too many hours of sleep and rest. I was so sick 3 ml of juice lasted me for over three days.
I've spent much of my life hiding from the hooples!!!!!!
For sure those nasty hooples that are everywhere out there!!!!!!! I let down my guard and didn't carry my antibacterial/antiviral wipes for a week or so and before getting sick. I've had > five cold viruses this winter, so far, which is pretty normal, but haven't had the flu in several years. I was out in public almost every day for over a week. I have super immunity to most bacteria but little defense for most common cold/flu type viruses, even though I take a lot of Type A anti-viral meds when I have symptoms and for sure when I know I've been exposed. And I didn't get a flu shot!!!!! Night before last I had to go to Walmart. For the first time, in several years, they didn't have the wipes when you go in the door. I always wipe down much of the cart and keep several with me while shopping and spray most containers when I get home. All fresh fruit and veggies go into a bleach/water bath as soon as they are unloaded from shopping bags. I was so paranoid!!!!!!! I went directly to the isle with the wipes and picked up a package for use in the store.
You have a buzz pro Alice take it in the spa give it a swimming lesson
Damnit!!!!!! I got caught!!!!!! Not fair!!!!! I can't test it, though, until I have a VV REO in hand, as I'm totally hooked, in less than 24 hours!!!!!!! I had to go and open my big mouth about VV Buzz Pro.
.....................................
So happy to hear your feeling better Alice missed your informative posts. Wasn't even thinking about a VV but your post has given me second thoughts. Thankyou again my Dear.
Very nice Gil thanks for sharing
Thanks but its all been just practice. I need the REO VV TESLA to test my skill. Yep.....yep....yep I hope a long wait doesn't dull that skill if you catch my drift.
