Worse case: this damages the real reo brand by confusing people that don't know better and assume that the real reo and the fake reo are made the same...
Best case: Reo's go up in value because the knock-offs prove to be horrid, the fakes become real cheap and the second hand market is flooded with them which allows modders to re-use the case to create other mods...
Either way i'll be sticking with my authentic Reo Grand and Reo Mini...

So in summary, they're selling something they haven't even made yet.
Well, anyone want to buy a REO clone from me? I'll go figure out how to make it in 20 days. I have a real 1 to copy.
@Ashley A think the technical term is 'vaporware'...LOL i.e. sell it before you actually make it....
There's some other words as well like 'chancers' and 'cons'.
Excuse my ignorance @Rob Fisher but are you affiliated with reosmods? Sorry, I haven't been hanging around the forum as long as the other guys...
When I first joined I thought he was the local rep down here
ROFLMAO...........

Ah... so just a massive fan then?When I first joined I thought he was the local rep down here

let me recede into my corner with my dunce hat on...
Rob Fisher is a REO fanatic of note. Just like Super X Drifter on ECF. Except Rob has the most unique and beautiful REOs on the planet.
Vapour Mountain is the local agent for Reosmods.

An original Reo is not expensive, and for a device that works so perfectly it's a solid investment. I can understand copying the Reo, but making an outright clone is simply wrong. And I hope they get sued. Any local retailer who brings these in will instantly lose my respect. And can go to hell.
Tbh, I don't get why people are getting upset about the Chinese cloning a Reo. I mean, they clone EVERYTHING else, and everyone is happy to buy clones of those, but clone a Reo and now people are getting angry... LOL
and all the other clones peep's buy ?
/me stirring...

@UnholyMunk u got in first you can take the flack now....
meh , not bothered might even get one just to try it out , my KUI served me well for like 3 weeks before I decided to buy the real deal but these clones still has a place IMO if it can introduce more people to BF why not ... the 1:1 clone thing is a bit of a biggie but I'm sure they will get slapped on the wrist like Scans ... and we see what that got them ....
^^I totally agree on this part
A Reo is a tad bit expensive though but I whole heartily believe you get what you pay for, it's a superb device, simple yet genius. I will never part with my Reo!
NOpe just a REO Fan Boy!
And rightfully so
They can give me flak, it's like water off a ducks back
lol no Reonaut would give you kak, there is no need to. This clone is like water off a Reo's back
You'd have to own one to understand I guess. I'm not one to get pissed off about this but it does break my heart, Rob O'Neil is a stand up guy, a true gentlemen who created a device that does the job simply and effectively and not only that, he made it almost indestructible. The Reo makes the wonderful life of sqounking trouble free and dependable. That's why there's such a huge following, its understandable really.

why dont we have problems with clones - simple, becuase they are mainly produced by big corporate companies who 10 out of 1 times overcharge you anyway.
why are ppl getting upset because of a REO clone - simple, because it was designed by an entrepreneur and fellow vaper who only deals in Reo's. thats his thing.
so ya - that's why i also don't like the 1:1 clone of the REO
its like you make a unique and special device as an individual, you take the risk, you do all the tweaking and research - and then a big company comes along and plainly steals it from you and sells it as their own. BULL SHIT!!!

But if u read the small print at the bottom of your Reo "Made in China" ?
How small is that print? I can't seem to find it anywhere on my REO.
Nope... American Made in Maine!
lolol, was wondering how long it would take to get you involved
