Wetbox 3.7 vs. Reo Mini

[DawnsDone]

I was looking into getting the reo mini when I came across a review for the wetbox. The 3.7 wetbox at clouds of vapor looks like it's exactly the same as the Reo mini, 3ml bottle, same size battery, etc except the wetbox seems a lot less expensive.
Any opinions on these?

Also, is there a better mini style box mod that I've missed that's even better? Im so tired of filling carts!

I love mine but you will get a bunch of people that have had problems tell you they are not worth it. My opinion is for the money they are great. Bruce at Clouds of Vapor is the best and if you did have a problem he will absolutely take care of you. JMO save the money and get the Wetbox

Not a box mod but Check out the ego tank system It is now my favorite vape

I would definitely recommend the REO Mini - a far superior mod when compared to the WetBox, which is cheaper, but inferior.

That is really my question: Why is it inferior?

I have my ego-t atty and tanks coming in for my riva already

I didn't get the new on/off batteries though, I'm just going to get the ego button protector clips and hope they fit the riva until a battery dies and I have to reorder, then I'll go for the new battery style

IMO the Wet Box and REO Mini are two different mods entirely.

Yes both run on a 14500 protected battery and both have a 3ml bottle.

Both are designed to provide juice to an atty from the bottom of the atty.

But the one big difference is the quality

The Wet box is a plastic mod the REO Mini is made from a solid block of Air craft aluminum.

The wet box it a needed fed juice mod the REO has no needle.

The Wet Box has a wired switch the REO a fully mechanical switch and will never fail.

The Wet Box can leak in to the body of the mod if not ran properly the REO cannot leak in to the body of the mod.

Yes the REO is more but it is designed to last a life time.

I have had and still have them both mods, I did go through a few Wet boxes when they were having switch problems. I think for the most part that issue has been resolved.

Bruce at COV is an incredible vendor as is Rob from REOsmods.com ether way you would be taken care of if there is an issue.

Cost IMO it’s like this you get what you pay for. If the Wet box is what you can afford go for the Wet Box if you can afford more go for the REO.

If it would help I can post some photos of each so you can take a closer look at each mod.

Hope this info helped in some way. Feel free to pm me directly with any questions.

The REO is built like a brick, and has the better juice feed system (no needle) IMO.
The mechanical switch is also a big plus.

Wow MXBNW, Thank You! (And thank all of you for your opinions!)

You really gave me the low down on what's what! I actually would LOVE some photo's. The photos of the Reo are pretty good on their site, but the wetbox ones not so much.

From what I saw I thought I actually liked the look of the wetbox ones better, they seemed a tad smaller? and I like the off/on switch instead of turning the battery switch. And I thought the wetbox ones were a bit more feminine. But now that I just looked again I do like the reo. Maybe I just like the name wetbox better. Sounds........ wet. Which is why I need one to begin with!

I didn't know you could spill into the wetbox, and though I saw a video demo on both I never thought about the fact that one has a needle and one doesn't! Duh. Hmmm... Though again, what does that really matter?

Well as you can see I'm easily persuaded, and have a hard time making a choice! I'll think I've made up my final decision and two hours later I'm leaning in the other direction. Simple minds...

I wish there was a juice-bottle fed (I think I got the jargon wrong there) pv that was in the cigar ego type shape!

DawnsDone: I will dig out my Wet box and post some photos next to the REO (I will try to get them tonight) for now here is a few photos of the REO Mini.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Here's a real newbie q for you, I see you have LR attys on it. How exactly does it work, you squeeze the bottle and it goes where? And is it like equal in puff to dripping, like every squeeze gives 6 or 7 puffs? Any problem with juice in the mouth?

You might consider the new ego tanks if you want the cigar shape.Bottom feeders are nice and the REO is well made,but availability may be a little tough.
Here's a link,I'm sure others sell them too.

I don't think of anything I can recommend more than the mini Reo. There is no comparison between a Reo and the wetbox. Wetboxes have ongoing issues with the switches and with the needle assembly. Mini Reo has no ongoing issues that I know of.

The Reo Mini wipes the floor with the Wetbox, there is no comparison.

There's another link for you.Good luck in whatever you choose.I've seen good and bad reviews on the wetbox,but he's good vendor and seems to fix problems for his customers.The REO"S are top shelf,you get more for that extra $$ but availability can be trying.

Here's a pic that shows a well-worn WetBox next to a REO Mini - you can see that the Mini is a little larger, but it is still a small device:

I will add that the WetBox is what sold me on bottom-feeder mods. I had pretty good luck with mine compared to a lot of folks - my switches would get gunked up every now and then, but I was able to keep them working by cleaning with isopropyl alcohol. The main problem I had was leaks. The nature of the needle-fed design is that excess juice will run right back down the needle if the unit is upright, and it runs back down inside the case. I circumvented this problem for a while by making a little paper towel gasket to slide over the needle assembly before installing it back into the box - the paper towel would absorb any wayward juice. After a while, the hot-melt glue that is used to form the "seal" doesn't do a particularly good job - mine is now relegated to the spare parts box, as it leaks like a sieve. It lasted me a solid 3.5 months of hard use, and was a relatively inexpensive introduction to bottom-fed mods. In contrast, my REO Mini and Grand were about 3x the price of the WetBox, but I expect them to outlive me.

First here is a link to the Wet Box REO Mini Photos REO Mini Wet Box pictures by MXBNW - Photobucket

and yes all you do to feed the atty is give the bottle a little push and you will get on average 6-7 vapes depending on how you vape.

Hope this was helpful.
