Here's your shopping list:

REO Grand of your choice*
Spare hot spring for mechanical REO (2)
Rebuild kit (optional, includes spare hot spring)
Reomizer 2 (or two ;) )
Spare RM2 post screws (2, they're tiny)
Spare RM2 o-rings (2)
Extra 6 ml bottles (REO comes with one spare)

I skip the mushroom button cover because if others have a problem with it causing the fire button to lock, I'd have the problem with it unlocking and pressing the button in my pocket. The stock button is fine for me and stays where I set it.

If you don't have kanthal wire yet, Rob sells 3' samples. Get 28 AWG.

*If listed as out of stock, PM or email Rob

Hey there Troll. I snuk up behind YOU there :)
Why get a REO? Short answer = cause you are a vaper.

A chalice? I can answer that question with one picture and a few sentences. First the picture:
7u6usudy.jpg

That's a chalice in the middle. He used to have 2 brothers, now he's an orphan. See those 2 RM2s? They have two other brothers in a drawer. There's another REO grand in that same drawer. The grand in that pic is sporting its door and vice versa. Im gonna get atleast two more REOs - an olive drab VV to keep that VVG in the center warm on cold nights and an 18650 woodvil should the ninja ever fashion one out of a piece of cocobolo again.

I recently sold 2 chalice. I'll never sell that last chalice (and good luck finding one at ANY price). They were all I used until the RM2 came strutting up the block. Now a chalice is working collectors item like that woodvil. Both the woodvil and chalice are the most exquisite pieces of vape gear known to this catfish.

Its funny but All three of those REOs have the same strength unflavored nic base (12 mg these days) in them and all are built to vape IDENTICALLY. I rotate between the 3 throughout the day. Each of them has a different feel and different purpose. The grand is the workhorse - goes everywhere. The VV grand is the at home, golf cart and car errand beast and the woodvil, since you can't get them, is protected and kept mostly indoors. If I get another, that one will likely split pocket duty with the grand.

a RM2 is like a metal REO - the best vape gear you can purchase new right now. But if you have a chance to get a woodvil and or a chalice, snap it up. They're heavenly but totally not necessary :)

I own no other vape gear, just 4 REOs, 4 RM2's and a chalice.

Why do you need a REO? Because you vape. :)

So does the RM2 work with all Reo's?

Yes, I do know that most of these questions have been thoroughly answerd, but the "official threads" ARE long and windy.

Also that hotspring does rise a question about voltage drop that is usually the case with those.

No DNA20 Reo yet? :D


I can answer your voltage drop question. My vaping buddy and I did some comparisons between Efest, AW, and MNKE 18650s. The Efest batteries gave us a drop of around .5 - .6 volts. The AWs were around .4 and the MNKE were around .2 - .3 volts. The Reos we used were a tumbled raw, a copper vein, and a black wrinkle using the same 1.2 ohm RM2 micro-coil (not that the color would make a difference...although some claim the tumbled raw has a lower voltage drop I haven't seen it).

All batteries were IMR. I've also read that the AW IMR 1600 mah baw wtteries have a lower internal resistance but subsequent testing hasn't shown that either (at least on the batteries I have).

Check out these REO forum threads, they more than explain why a REO should be given a shot! There are many more you can find too!

Woohoo, thanks for the heads up :D!

Reasons to get a REO, I think there would be too many to list. You want it all summed up? Because it's the end gamer. If, after you get a REO, you buy anything else other than more REOs, it probably will be because you like collecting :D. You get the best flavor, throat hit, vapor production and build quality you can get all in one comfortable box mod. Not only that, but you get unpaired customer service (you get to talk with the inventor himself! :D) and to top it all off, you get a ticket to Reoville. Trust me, it's worth every penny. I can build some hype for you, but until you try it yourself, you won't know what heaven itself is :D :D

I was looking for the "Like very, very much" button, but could not find it!

Arghh. I am so stressed. I just ordered a second Provari a couple of days ago, and now see my original love is in stock and in the color I love. Yikes, it's in my cart. Oh no . . Just a click away . .

I'm sure that Provari would sell on the classies fairly easily :p Not quite as easy as a Reo but that's another story.

Omg. Had to run out and when I came back my shopping cart was empty, and the mod would not add. I changed browsers and success! An all white VV Grand Reo :) Can hardly wait. Don't know why my favourite mod on first impression didn't get chased earlier. Got distracted I guess.

I have one of those. They're awesome....perfect. Congratulations!!
