Awesome, same colour as my first one. They do tend to get darker with use - get some character. Good comparison next to the Evod, at least quite a lot more stable than the Evod as well. Congrats. Enjoy.Silver Vein Reo Mini 2.1. 650Mah Evod for size reference. Tooo cute !!!!
At this rate the Cape Vape meet is going to be Reoville delux. Congrats to all the new Reonuts

Reoville is growing...
But what I see very little of is descriptions of the vape compared to other equipment.
Is it just hype or are you Reo endowed vapers too busy vaping and enjoying to write anything?

Ok, so here i am, all nic rushed ( in a good way ) from my Reo Mini 2.1 in the early hours of the morning, so i'm wide awake, ready to post, lol! Finally the forum gets some of my attention, as Reo is quite demanding, (eg. Just going to have my last vape session) or, i have to fiddle, just a little bit more' So its very late and i'm on a nic high, and if i post some nonsensical things, then please excuse me, i pre-apologize, lol
The Infamous Reo, so where do i start ladies and gentlemen, so much to say. Lets start with first impressions. My first impression was when i saw it on the Forums, quite a while ago, i thought that it was huge and ugly ( an instant negative, and wrongly judged by the pictures one sees online). Then After seeing so many people raving about it, with a staunch bunch of followers, i thought i needed to do some research. Then, When i found out what it essentially was, and how it worked, well, i thought it was just another dripper, but souped up in a way that one doesn't have to drip, and instead, squonk. At this point i thought that it definitely wasn't for me. I thought that if felt the need to drip, it wouldn't be a biggie to me, as i spend lots of time in the office and wouldn't mind dripping there. Also,
Upon further investigation, i discovered the Reo was quite a pricey bugger. If you know me, you would know that i buy lots of new vape products (hardware), all the time, then i usually own it for an average of a week, lol, then sell it. So i didn't wanna go through all that with such a pricey item. The reason for always selling my newly aquired stash is because i always have a tendency to go back to my good old trusty evod, and theres a few reasons for this, but mainly, its because it does the job, and i enjoy them, they're sufficient, and i'm a simple guy. This is the reason i didn't even bother with a Reo. It Was off my mind and thought that it would never happen.
But then....First impressions in the flesh, As they say, the proof is in the pudding. Like many forum members has said before, it's much smaller in
person than expected, and it fits beautifully in the hand. Pictures somehow makes it look HUGE. Its not too heavy and not too light. Rock solid build quality, has an industrial feel to it. If There was one thing i could change, it would be the design of the door. The two magnets on top does a wonderful job of keeping it in place, and is nice and strong, but the bottom of the door is ever so slightly loose, as there are no magnets, and has a slight rattle if you shake/tap it (very negligible, I'm nitpicking) and when you slide it into your pocket quickly, the door sometimes slides up. I personally think that if the door had a single magnet at the bottom as well, right in the middle, or maybe even two like the top, it may solve all the above problems. Though, There are quite a few simple solutions to this online anyways. Holding it in the hand and looking at it, you cant help but admire and appreciate the build quality and excellent craftsmanship that this device possesses, and looks as if it will last forever. Enjoying it before even vaping it ? So far, impressed.
First vape : was with @CVS's black wrinkle Grand with red door. I Didn't like it. It was by no means bad, at all, there was plenty vapour and flavour, but it was all just too much for me to handle, for a guy coming from an evod. Too much nic, too much flavour. In other words, it was too overwhelming FOR ME. Thinking that a higher resistance coil should change the experience for the better, i was still curious and optimistic, and felt that i had to give it another shot at some point, a fair chance.
When @CVS told me that he had
an order on the way, and that i could add a Reo for myself, if i so wished to purchase one, with no extra shipping charges, i jumped at the opportunity. So, It arrived yesterday, and last night i built my first coil (micro with organic cotton) with a RM2, (which was a breeze btw, it really is as easy as pie). It Was good, but didnt blow my socks off, and thats exactly what i wanted or expected from the Reo, to blow my socks off. Today, i decided to rebuild the coil, and now getting a much, much better vape. After vaping it for the day, i got more and more used to it, and am now enjoying it ALOT, a big jump from the first experiences, potentially exceeding all previous mods and units i have owned/used in terms of overall performance, quality of vape, build quality and Ease of use (and i've i tried just about everything out there) I was starting to see the light, this is quite a masterpiece.
To be honest, at one point today, i thought of putting it up for sale. Even though mini is even smaller than the grand, which appeals to me, the size of a pen style unit is what i love, and i like when the goods i cart around with me (phone, wallet, vape)is inconspicuous, i prefer not to notice that its even there. I have a nasty habit put things down wherever i go, and forgetting it there, which is another reason why i always switch back to my evods, stays in my pocket, as its very pocket friendly, even when sitting down. But now...... Mmmm, now i'm leaning more towards not selling it, its just sooo good. I do find that, to me, the flavour is more dominant on the inhale, than on the exhale (not what i'm used to), although still quite flavourful on the exhale. If you ask me, I suspect that this may be a case of 'hey, why's my coffee so bitter', after eating a koeksister or anything sweet, if that makes sense.
Final thoughts. If you were thinking about getting a Reo, just go for it, really, just do it, i would recommend it whole heartedly. The Worst case scenario would be that if it doesn't appeal to you after purchasing it, you can just re-sell it, it holds its value very well, so no worries there.
And finally A special Big thanks to @CVS, for my Reo's free ride to SA, and for even going as far as to give me 2 x AW IMR 18490's, before even buying a Reo, deviously enticing me to get one (he knows me so well that he knew that if i pulled trigger, i would go for a mini, hence 18490's, hahhaha Also, Thanks to @Matthee for always answering all Reo related questions and going the extra mile to help potential Reonuts make the right decisions when ordering for the first time.
I know, i've just post a book and a half, lol, i'm sorry but i hope that you enjoyed reading, and hopefully with my experiences posted, i have clarified some things to the forum members and will be helpful to some

Thanks for that @Zodiac. Well done. You got to more or less your sweet spot amazingly fast. Most Reonauts take at least a week, some take a month or two or three. Experiment with other wicking material as well. I started off with silica. Tried cotton, but did not like it on the Reo. So went back to silica, ekowool and ceramic. Also experiment with the position of your coil, the lower the less throat hit and more flavour. Your air hole should never face your body or downward when you vape.
If you shake the whole unit, the door should not rattle. If you tap at the bottom of the door it will make a noise. If your's is too loose there are some solutions on the Reosmods forum, as you say.
How is the Mini in your pocket - hindering or comfortable? Have not seen a picture of your Mini on its own! Or your coiling!

My door doesn't rattle when i shake it, only ever so slightly when i tap it. Its just something i wanted to point out, which i've experienced with my ex-grand. Its very negligible though. The mini on the other hand seems to have much less rattle than the grand, i think its because the door is smaller, uses the same magnets, and is therefore a bit sturdier. I just did a tap now to check and i am pleased to report that there is little to no rattle on the mini

personally the key to the reo success has to stem from the simplicity of it. Its like apple products they just work!
I too was/am not totally blown away with product however i would recommend it.
i am still tinkering with wicking options as i suspect i am getting an odd flavour/taste from my cotton which is bizzare as it has been boiled and air dried.
all things aside i cannot complain as with any gear you buy you will need to customise it to suit your prefference and taste!

I fully agree with you with regards to simplicity being key and your Apple analogy @Zeegee. What i have found is that i had to get used to the taste in the Reo, all my juice tastes different now, and once you're used to it, its for the better imo. I'm sure that you will find your sweet spot. Another thing i noticed, and forgot to mention, was that to me, a bigger air hole tends to mute the flavour somewhat, my standard air hole feels more flavourful than the bigger one i vaped of @CVS
yeah I went too big but made temp fix going to need to get a new top cap

Zeegee is absolutely correct. even tho I am satisfied with the build I will just try all the different coil options.
I sold the black wrinkle grand. my intention when ordering 3 was just to have 2 backups just incase something goes wrong. now that I have had them in my hands I dont feel the need for 3 as this thing is so well buil I doubt I will ever need a back up. so the mini is for stealth mode because its so tiny and cute @Zodiac. and my grand for for my main device. I also have a dripper for testing new mixes. so here is what they look like now. and my latest coil build. I just love the copper vein
