Well.. im poor. So having multiple reos is almost impossible compared to having multi tanks... and while I can save up for a reo.. saving for multiple is out of my league or desire.. im sure the feeder bottles arent too expensive & I can tolerate a couple mutant hits...

Can one get by without multiple reos? Bc I totally can w/o multiple mvp2 s

I can has tapatalked this.

Oh, yeah just one is totally doable. I have 4, but then again, I have 3 MVP2s, lol! I go OVERBOARD. 65 cents per bottle, get you a dozen (okay, get 5 or something, the Reo comes with 2 already). Or, really, really, cheap: some vendors' 6ml sample bottles are the same exact bottle, if you have some of those laying around, reuse them. That's how a got like 20 of 'em.

But it is difficult to put into words how "different" from dripping it is. It just is better than just "automatic" dripping. It's the whole package (IMHO, YMMV).

Durability and sturdy X1000 from the MVP (and I think that's a pretty sturdy mod for the price)
Simple beauty (yeah, that's superficial, but important to the package--pictures just don't do them justice, at all)
"Approachable" mechanical mod (no other mech mod forum here has such comprehensive FAQ sections or as genuinely helpful people-example, we're answering all your questions truly and honestly, right?)
Superior customer service above and beyond even my highly discerning expectations--warranty, warranty, warranty
Reliability (don't do this, but throw it across the room, she'll keep on truckin')
No leaky, gurgling, temperamental tanks--huge to me, that was the last straw for me with my prior setup

Just to let you know I get by with only one reo. Not really a problem. And I dont ever see it failing on me. I mean it nearly broke the hood on my car with barely a scratch on it. I will say though. Should you buy one get an extra spring. Or wait for the kits to come out and get one of those springs. With the reo if you have a short the spring will collapse. Its for your safety. On the reo grand its easy to replace. Just one screw to remove to replace it.

I agree you guys are awesome support! Thats why I asked here even worried about bias..

So from this I have reached determinations that create expectations.

Its a consistently tastier vape.

W much more ease than conventional drippers.

Long term its cheaper in re: to buying new tanks and such.. especially if I go the rebuildable dripper route (rdb yes? )

Sexy solid container

And bc its a mech.. much more durable...

Anything im missing?

Toldya im not a troll/hater!

We never thought for a minute you were a troll/hater. We are used to answering all these same questions over and over. I know it's a little confusing without being able to hold one and play with it. That would clear up so much.

Your assessment is pretty much right on. If you get a REO, I'd strongly suggest getting the rebuildable atty sold on the REOs mods site. It's called the Reomizer 2.0 (we refer to it as the RM2) as it is reasonably priced and totally great.

Read around this sub-forum and you will see hundreds of posts from new Reonauts who say, over and over, "now I get it!!"

I know we are a zealous group, but it's because REOs really ARE that good. I don't even want to mention it, but should you get one and it turns out that it's not for you (won't happen)......you can sell it for almost what you paid for it. They hold their value well and go FAST if/when they end up in the classifieds.

I own both REO's and Provaris….my three provaris do not get used. I am not saying they are bad I am just saying that I use the REO's all the time.

I can tell you one with out a doubt you can get by with one Reo no problem.

What I think most of us enjoy so much about them is that they are simple .They are the only vaping device I have owned that compare to the ease of when I smoked.Throw in a battery and fill the bottle and thats it.No messing with changing heads or wicks not working right or needing to be fiddled with every other hit.

While many use rebuildables with our Reos many dont and thats what I think is so great about them.Throw on a standard carto or atty and squeeze and vape thats it.

Many of the older Reonauts can assit you if you dont want to rebuild anything and if you do just ask any of us for help :) We are a pretty helpful bunch as far a cults go :lol:

I own both .I love my Provari since I DIY juices for myself and others so its important to have the VV for that but unless Im testing juices or going out to see friends and family and have them try multiple juices in a short amount of time I always have and will always have my Reos on me :)

I know Steam861 and Ocelot are "dual" owners. They love them both. They must know something. I don't have a Provari, but I know it is a VERY good mod. Apples and oranges, though. Both offer excellence in their categories, but offer very different attributes. A regulated tube mod built like a tank vs. a mechanical box bottom feed mod built like a tank. Both have incredible forum communities and loyal owners.

Reo does it for me in the mech world. Provari, IMHO, is one of the ONLY regulated mod that can top the MVP2.

As much as the DNA30 mods are dead sexy, I just can't put my finger on what bothers me about them. Probably it's a CHIP only, and a modder putting them into their creations. I'm unsure about warranty issues with that, and there's not much camaraderie or cohesive forum for information and help. And they're like unicorns, and you have to know a guy who knows a guy to get one.

If I'm saving my hard earned money, I want to be able to actually get want I want when I do have the money saved. Reo will be that for you (OK, okay, so will the Provari ;)). I'm sure you'd agree

I guess im looking for the impossible. . That a reo will satisfy. . That its not a waste or risk of a waste of money...

No one can guarantee that.. but I like what im hearing/seeing.

I can has tapatalked this.
Like I said I own both but can tell you that I got my Reo first and my wife and friends have asked me if I could only have one which would it be ?

REO is always the first and last answer to that question ! Reos just work right and are built to last .You wont find a better Mod IMO and Robert is the best and always goes the extra mile for his customers.

I think the fact we all talk about him on a first name basis tells a a lot about him and us as a group :)

You can always watch his site and pick up a blem for $115 vs the $144 new. I have a blem on the way right now and will be very surprised if I can find the "blem" on it LOL

Hmm I WANT to believe (call me neo lol) if this was in the provari forum what would I hear.

Im not trying to start schtuff...

I can has tapatalked this.
You would hear that Provari is the best and the Reo a close second but as said before its apples to oranges.I think myself and Ocelot and few others that own both can tell you that both are the best in thier class of devices but if you want simple and long lasting then Reo would be my choice everytime :2c:
