You can kick a REO. If you wrap your own coils, though, I think you'll find you don't need to. There is some voltage drop, and Rob is putting together a sub-ohm kit right now. An AW IMR 18650 battery will last me for at least 3 or 4 ml of juice. It all depends on your vaping style and how much you vape, but it'll last me several hours. It's really subjective and based on lots of variables. If I'm going to be out and about all day, I'll either carry a spare battery -- or a spare REO.....

Do these things onlybusd standard 510 attys or can I put an rda on top? Seems like a silly question now that I know a bit more about the implementation of the bottom feeder, but I could have sworn I saw one; (Must have been in my dreams...).

We almost ALL use RBAs. Rob sells a couple on his site. I absolutely love the Reomizer 2.0 (RM2) he sells. They have to be bottom-feeders, or modified to be bottom-feeders. The juice squirts up from the bottle, through a tube, through a hole in the 510 connection into the atty. it wets the coil, then drains the excess back down into the bottle. When you need to "drip" again, you just squeeze (squonk, we say) the bottle and....voila! more juice. Doesn't get any better.

This answers my last question: it seem that the nature of the feeding system precludes actual dripping

I still use store bought atties on my reos......I drip into them all the time when sitting at my computer.

You don't HAVE to squonk liquid up from the bottle, so no, the bottom feeding system does not preclude dripping.

Reonauts like their Reos because they vape great, are nearly indestructible, are easy to use, have great customer service and a great community has grown around the Reo thats amazing. You can buy a GRand and an RM2, use it 24/7 365 and you'll admire it more than the day you bought it. They just keep going and going but they also provide a simple, effective way to enjoy vaping with no hassles. It makes vaping easy and reliable. Reos don't roll off the table. You can chase clouds, go for flavor, look for massive hits or build moderate setups. Swapping batteries is simple and fast by just sliding the door rather than unscrewing an end cap.. You can fill the sink and let your Reo go for a swim under the water, dry it off and vape away. IF you should have problems you can get parts in a matter of days or have it rehabbed by the maker. And you get a fat lady to sing for you and a badge too.

Can you drip one handed? I can with the Reo just as easy as holding a stinkie! For me the Reo solved so many vaping issues for me early on. Extremely durable, dripping flavor no matter what I am doing even driving. The Reo is so much easier to pocket than a long tube mod. I have the LP Grand(low Profile) so I can fit on any dripper as long as it has been modified to bottom feed, I use RM2's, Igo-s, Cyclone all are an excellent vape.

I am a fairly heavy vaper I average 8-10mls of juice a day I run microcoils 28g around .9ohms and I currently go through 2-3 batteries a day but I pull them sooner than probably most do 3.8-3.9v, the new subohm kit that is due to come out soon will vastly improve my battery time and drop off

I have the original Kick and use it off and on in one of my Reo's

2 years of Reos and going strong, I truly feel the Reo's vape experience truly helped me as there are times I love to tinker with my vape but when life gets busy I set it and forget it and get the same quality of vape, no other mod can do that for me.

For me the experience has been the best flavor, convenience and the aluminum REO's are nearly indistructable. The bottle in the Grands are 6 ml while the mini's are 3 ml. I fill the bottle, 'sqounk' up to the RM2 RDA and enjoy. The remaining juice runs back down into the bottle. All i have to do is once in a while build a coil and re-wick. It is the flavor of dripping without the hassle. I own 6 REO's right now and am always looking at getting more. In my experience, i don't necessarily care about any other mods and cannot ever see myself ever going back to carto's or clearo's. They are very dependable and Rob, who makes them, provides outstanding customer service.

To add... If you want to change juice, all you do is swap out the bottle. I also like the fact that they are purely mechanical. Nothing to break such as circuits or electronic unless you get a VV model. Also to clean it, which i do at least once a week, i pull out the battery and juice bottle, run under hot water, dry and it is good as new again. I love these and no longer search for any other mods as i feel that i simply will not get a better vape than with the REO.

I can't believe that I am looking at POWDERED TOAST MAAAAAN!!! With a REO, nonetheless. Great Great Avatar!!

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.

It's not a rule you have to fill the 6ml bottle until full. I often just put 3 or 4ml in it. I like to switch flavors a lot.

I've been vaping for over 3 years and have played with them all until I found Reos. I love dripping and for that reason love bottom feed. I have multiple Reos and have 2 with me when I leave the house. With multiple Reos I can have several different builds and flavors ready to go. I run some juice on a single coil, some on duals, some on sub ohm others higher, so I can have a vape tailored to each of my juices.

Rock solid performance
I can quickly fix anything that might go wrong
Superb quality and attention to detail
Great customer service
Great online support forum
benefits of dripping without all hassle

They are magic.

Next time you are dripping, when it's time to take of your capsssss and drip, instead just look at your dripper and say poof.... See if it fills up. That what I do with my drippers, just because it would be so nice if it worked like that. Sadly, it doesn't.

You just set your coil and forget about it. You don't have to align the air hole or carry extra juice. It's just there, perfect every time, ready to go.

Hey Hex :)

Thanks for the PM. Great to see that you found the REOvil. :)

It looks like these fine REOnauts have answered your questions in style. There's little I can add except that the dynamic of fresh squozen juice on demand is unbeatable.

Combine that with the rugged reliability, simplicity of operation and consistent vape offered by the REO and it's game over.

I look forward to seeing you around and thank you for the kind words.

Like Jan said, I'm usually all over the place but Im just now getting back to normal and back in action here after suffering a HD failure on my PC on Sunday.

Note / reminder to all here: back up your stuff more frequently than every 3 months.

Another note: if your hard drive is more than 5 years old you should consider replacing it while it's still spinning / reading and cloneable :) it's not much $ to do it.

My desktop is 7 years old but it was a beast when I bought it. Even today it pulls a 5.9 on the WEI :)

Your post cracked me up... I basically, but without the fine language, asked some of the same questions...and I was cynical about the brouhaa all these "fanatics" were spouting about the "glories" of Reos mods. They all seemed just too overzealous about them and the maker.And the square box shape just seemed weird to me....but the 3 ml. bottle was what made me buy my first one.

One ...then two..then three... I now have 5 to-die-for Reos wood mods:laugh:

And when he has the mech wood mods, hopefully I'll have six!

My exact sentiments... Then factor in the super_X_drifter knowledge and harassment, this is what brought me over to the dark side!!!

Hmm, lots of good and true stuff said already. Just to add my experience, before REO's, I must have tried and had many other Mod's, e-cig's, ..both mechanical and VV, VW mod's...just too many to enumerate. Well, like most good folks here, I either gifted them away, sold them, or they are gathering dust somewhere in my home. After getting my first REO, and experiencing the ease and great flavor that they produce from juices I've already had, it was no turning back, but a prelude to purchasing more REO's. I had such and still am enjoying REO's greatly that I've gifted a couple to friends that were looking to get off Analogs. Moreover, probably the best reason why REO's is my only source for Mod's is because of the unsurpassed customer support from Robert himself, and the fine folks here in this Forum.

Welcome and enjoy the vape ! :vapor:
