Hello everyone!
I've been vaping on and off for a while, but have just recently (within the past few weeks) really kicked it into high gear in terms of experimenting with rda's, mech mods, and some interesting regulated devices. I noticed that these bottle-fed Reo's have a huge cult-ish following here, and so, I have a couple questions:
firstly --and, given the thread title, most predictably: If you could sum up all the hype in a few sentences, what would you say? In other words, what makes these aesthetically beautiful mods different from any other mechanical? It seems to me that they are simple beautiful wooden mechanical mods (not downplaying this, they are friggin' beautiful, for the most part), but what, to you, makes them special over other mechs? Is it purely aesthetic? I've heard the vaping experience is quite different, and the design is quite unique; I assume that this isi one of those (myriad) things in life that need to be experienced directly in order to appreciate them fully.
I ask because I'm just now getting into regulated box-type mods (dna, etc), and beautiful straight tube mechanical mods, at the same time. What really happened, though, is that an unnamed member of ECF was extremely helpful and thoughtful to me in an RDA thread, I checked out his profile, and it seemed to me that he ONLY owns a whole slew of Reo's! I immediately thought: wait, what's going on here?? These look great, but so strange! Aesthetics and feel are both very important to me in all of my hobbies and interests --call me an aesthete, I won't mind, and chances are everyone on this sub-forum is one as well, to some degree
)-- and I just love the looks of these things. However, the bottle-fed implementation seems strange to me; it seems to me that I'd really have to have some favorite juices pinned down (which i still really dont); I'm a dripper at home and have only a handful of DIY juices and some from a local shop that i seem to really like. You guys seem to be filling up ~10ml bottles and sticking them in your reo's; I like the 3-4 ml capacities of my kayfun's, and the dripping ability on mechanicals with rdas. I know that all things in terms of preference and style is give and take. Are reo's limited to the huge bottle-feeding? What's are the positive aspects of this type of feeding? at this point in the game, that would be tough for me, but I ask about it because I'm learning to love mech's but also just love the box form factor (and the wood, with reos, fuhgettabaddit!), and will probably have one purely out of knee-jerk aesthetic goo-goo-ga-ga-ing.
I know that I'm getting a bit tangential and repetitive, so in short and to sum up: Any insight, experiences? I'm going to lurk this forum a lot now, but I figured I'd get some passionate and compelling answers if I explicitly spelled out my intuitions, questions and concerns! Thanks so much in advance, fanboys and girls! I have a feeling I might be joining your ranks sooner rather than later!

You are in Reoville as we speak. Read some of the sticky threads up at the top of this forum. Check out the "Family photos and storage ideas" thread.....lots of pictures.
