why are reomizers so expensive??

[valooper]

So I dont want to make the reo community mad but why are the reomizers so expensive?

I am just a little confused I mean I know how to make a bf dripper and its pretty simple

For example I can buy a igo w for like 9 buck and on the reo site its 40.00?

There is no pun intended against reo mods here I just need some clarification on the issue

Thanks

I'm going to imagine that the answer has to do with drill presses, shop space, employees, electricity, insurance, and things like that not being free.

Not sure, I always thought the price was a bit high too. The RM2 is a modified Triangle RDA that Empire Mods sells for 9.99, if Empire is selling them for 9.99, I'd imagine the wholesale price is even lower and the profit margin must be pretty high on an RM2.

Then again, no idea how much work/time goes into each one.

Because of the labor and quality of work that goes into it and the customer service that backs it up and I hope a little profit too.

I own several of original $10 atties that he turns into RM2 Reomizers and I can do all the work. But for the time required Rob's version is a bargain and that's why I buy from him and use the originals as spare parts.

Here's what he does to the RM2 for example.

center post drilled
Center post insulator upgraded and replaced.
metal disk center post mounts to is notched
ceramic deck is notched
lip around deck is cut down.

Yeah, basically you're paying for the overhead and time that it takes to modify it. If you have the knowledge and equipment youll be able to save some dough but for those of us who dont, its a small price to pay IMO

Once you take a good look at how much time and effort goes into the modding of these to Rob's standards your question will be answered.

Thanks for the answers I guess rob I the man lol

Idk I guess I need to see a side by side comparison of his and a home done version

Everyone is always talking about reos exceptional quality I guess I just need to see wgat all the buzz is about

What did I do this time classwife lol??

wait is this the right section?

Your paying for an aftermarket modification which usually isn't cheap. Considering the fine work involved the man's got to make something to pay his overheads. I don't think it's a big deal for something which is so well done and provides an excellent vape.

The tooling and machinery rob has to pay for doesn't come cheap, much less overhead costs of power, staffing, building, etc. I don't see ~$30 as being an unreasonable charge for the service he provides considering the overhead. I'm sure if Rob designed and machined an atomizer from scratch in house he would have to charge you $300 rather than ~$30 he charges to modify an existing mass produces product.

What does the century have to do with it?

Tell ya what...go buy that $9-10 atty, buy the extra parts, tools and machinery to do your own modification and when something goes wrong, ask them to fix it for you.

You are paying for his skill and time.

Hey hey look at post #1 "no pun intended"

Maybe you didn't mean it the way it sounded and the fact that "no pun intended" makes no sense in that context. This may be the source of the confusion. You're pretty new here and if you hold that type of comment until you've been here awhile you will realize, as all of us here do , that Rob is the last person that would ever try to rip off his customers.
