Well this was November 2010 .... I was using the GLV mini right before the REO came along ... with Cisco attys.
What did you vape before a Reo?

Nothing good that for sure. Lets see, Started on a Blue Cig moved to Ego, lots of carts. Tube mods act.
Some top fed dripping mods. Built a few box mods 5v.
Well in a nutshell every mod I could get my hands on but All the crazy stopped when I got one of these. Now all other mods are just for playing around.

Mostly egos for me. Blech. I don't even like using them for taste testing anymore.
MVP2 for me, then a Groove 2 for about a month until it went thermal on me and left me stranded literally in the middle of a desert without a mod. It was then I decided I wanted something reliable and to stop wasting money on sub-par mods. Picked up a REO at a local BM and have been a Reonaut ever since.
I'm sure they are, but I still plan to treasure it
. And keep said cousin away from it.
I started with the little 510s, then eGos, then madvapes box mods, then a couple other bottom feeders (Sgt Army tank and old goat) then moved on to Provari's and stopped for awhile. I waited so long to get a Reo because I didn't like using attys or bottom feeding cartos. Then I got into rebuilding, first vivi novas then genesis attys then kayfuns and when a rebuildable bottom feeding atty came along... I figured a Reo might be for me. Boy was it ever! I still have an Atmizoo Roller and several Provari's that I use with kayfuns along with 2 grands and a woodvil. The Reo's get used 99% of the time.. I never leave home without my black grand.
I started with China ware like egoT, egoC, iMist, always with the same result. After a few days, I didn't like the taste anymore.
ZMax with different tank Systems wasn't satisfactory either.
I was just before quitting to vape, when I got some 306 and 510 atomizers for the ZMax.
Dripping was a whole new experience and kept me vaping.
Later, I bought a "portable dripper" for the Business trips (my first Reo Grand; even better taste, no dripping hassle).
For more than 2 years now, I love my Reo and haven't even looked for something else.

i started vaping with a reo so none
wow, that's amazing, something i did not know about you, Scott.
It was 2012, ego twist had just hit the shelves, I posted in new members and some people there put together a purchase order for me (ego twist, cartos, carto tank, dripping atty to test juice). After about 2 weeks I knew that wasn't going to work, I was vaping high VG (which believe it or not, only a few vendors carried "100% VG then" ) and everything was clogging. I think I bought a clearo after that, Vivi Nova had just come out and was the "cat's meow" at the time. I hated that too. I got it into my head to try a bottom feeder, although at the time those were billed for "advanced vapers", so of course nobody suggested that to me.
I did end up quitting smoking right after I got one, it was a vmod. Then, it was on to REOs. I found a real beat up one in the classies, and sent it to the Spa for a rebuild, then re-sold it for $65 in the ECF classies. It was tumbled. I just didn't like that finish. The 2.1 with the rounded corners had not come out yet, but when it did I knew that was the one for me!!!!!
I owned some other ones along the way, I think putting them out to other vapers created a few reonauts, I know there are at least 4 people I started on the ROAD TO REO.
It's amazing how fast technology changes......that is why I went "gulp" when somebody mentioned RM5s. I must be under a rock or something, right? I think that happens to people when they finally settle in to their vaping journey, you just stop looking at stuff.

Everything under the sun, and I can prove it, because I'm such a pack rat, I have boxes of stuff around that probably belongs in a museum. I'm not good at selling off stuff.
Started off with V2 cigalikes, built a couple cheapo 14500 boxes, bought a Provari, ended up with 5 of those, began collecting mechanicals, have 25 or so of those. As for toppers: Started with cartomizers. I have probably every version of CE2s (and there were several), Vivi Novas, homemade carto tanks, etc. The last 2 1/2 years have been ss mesh gennies. Lately, for the last year or so, it's been RDAs on my various mechanicals.

I started with an ego. Then moved to an MVP. then to a HCigar copper nemesis. Then a HCigar hammer clone (that is the only mech clone that I will still use I love the form factor and want an authentic) then a couple more clone mechs. Then I went to the Segelie 20w. And after having problems with each and everyone of those except the hammer clone I got so frustrated that I finally got my reo and said to hell with all my other mods. One of these days I would like to get a authentic kayfun and hammer mod though
I mostly used 808 devices (still have them but don't use them). That last thing before the Reo Grand was a VMOD. Good little device but it broke down almost exactly one year after using it. The company did honor the warrant and sent me a new complete core for the VMOD and I have it tucked away for a backup if I ever need to send the Reo in for repair.
Been into rebuildables for about a year and just love the A7 atomizer (small chamber, holes in post). I did drill out two air holes in the side for better air flow.
I have a few Kanger bottom coil cartos and Boge cartos for emergencies.............

Started with 808 cigalikes, went to MVP2's, then Provari, finally got my REO and then my 2nd REO and have not looked back. The only other device I will ever buy will be another REO!!
I like other's in this thread, started out with ego's. then my hubby bought me a Tesla for Christmas. I then bought 3 SIDS, a vamo, a provari, and a huge list of other things.
A girl friend of mine had these cute little mods called Reo's and Woodvilles, I'de never seen anything like them! She kept telling me that if I ever tried one I would never go back to my other mods. It took me a while to get here, and to honest I was afraid of building, but a few building video's, an ohm meter and 4 Reo's later here I am!

Hmmmm...been at this for over 4 years. If I remember right. A GLV 2 5 Volt, a Little Chuck and something I sold many moons ago. I was using 306 atties and 510 atties. I think in Nov of 2011 I bought my first Grand or was it a Mini? Not sure but I never looked back. Used the REO for almost 2 years. Many other mods later was still using the REO till I bought a Provari. Used that with carto tanks. Tried using my REO but found my sweet spot was at 4 Volts. The REO VV wasnt made till later. Now I use my Provari almost all the time with a Kayfun (I have 3) Love those Kayfuns!! Soon I hope to be back with my Grand. That thing has been thru hell and back. Only had to have it fixed once! That was because I dropped it to many times and the atty or carto I put on there would not set straight. It leaned to one side really bad. It would fire but it was to bad not to fix it. At one time I had 7 REO's. So yeah I was a fan of the mighty Modfather Rob!!! The only other Mod I liked as much as my REO is my Provari. They both are built tough! But thats a whole other story!
Blu disposable->Blu kit->Twist->Vamo->Sigelei #13 #19->Nemesis->Reo
Other than a couple of Reos, the only other mods I currently own are 2 mechs:
One is a Hammer mech that I won in a contest. I never would have purchased one, but I ended up honestly loving that mech. I use it in 18490 mode with an Origen V1, and a nice pipe style drip tip. It stays in my living room on the coffee table for me to grab and vape like a Sir while watching tv.
The other is a Stealth Vape copper Clone V1, and I really only have that because it's a friggin Star Wars engraved mech, and I just HAD to have it. I personally don't use it at all, but I do let other people use it as a "community e-cig" on the job on occasions. (to avoid the issue of people constantly asking to bum a hit off of my Reo)
All the old stuff from my journey to Reoville has been PIF'd a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Cheers
