Would not the REO make an excellent Genesis mod?

The form factor of the Reo would lend itself well to a genesis type device, but Reos were invented because atty + cartridge + stick battery models were too low performing and fiddle-y. Genesis style devices are inherently fiddle-y. I have no doubt Rob could adapt the Reo design to a genesis type device and it would work really well, but it would still rely on the user to set up stainless steel mesh wicks and coils, which currently goes against the grain of what makes Reos great devices.

Ultimately it's up to Rob to decide if he wants to cater to that niche market in the vaping world.

I am thinking rob could come up with a new design for Geny attys. Altogether a new concept.. Genys and RBAs are the future now..
You cant beat the vapes. No atty sold today can equal a good RBA set up right.. Reos have the weight to sit still with a big atty on top for sure.. Actually I have used one on the Reo and worked well with an adapter on the atty.. You need a low ohm coil for the 3.7 to rock..

I agree genesis attys are the best vape out there .... I've had one for only 2 or 3 weeks and its hard to put down.

But the REO was designed as a bullet proof leak proof mod to grab and go and last all day or more.
There is no way to make a genesis atomizer that won't leak so I don't see the need to try and make a REO version.

My genny set up sits on my desk on top a VV tube mod and thats were it will stay ..... for any activity at all I will stick with my good old REOs that I cant top with any 510 threaded device that suits my need.

BTW, a VV REO with a Chalice loaded up with a SS Mesh wick and 32g A1 Kanthal is a very close vape to a genesis and doesn't leak if it tips over.

not a genesis, genny's are leaky I stopped carrying them with me because I'm tired of cleaning juice out of the bottom of my purse. Maybe a built it rebuildable atomizer

You really tried to carry one in your purse ?? Thats brave!
Mine sits in one place and I try not to even bump it, lean it, tilt it, or even breath on it. Its a great vape but with the wick hole and the big honkin breather hole thats needed IMO they are about as leak proof as an open bottle.

Leaks can and I'm sure will be eliminated by design. The Zen is already damn near leak proof. And with the potential Reo style juice storage being encompassed by the mod body it may not be so hard to redirect potential leaking back into the reservoir.
