I just did it. 1.2ohms. Hitting like a beast.
That is awesome Giz! I want one of these badly, but I need to wait until next year before going for a mech mod.
Such a tasty piece of kit you got there
Not sure why there is a porcupine in the centre of the Reo badge though. Matthee?

Anybody thinking of getting Reo, just get it. It really is that good. I was a huge sceptic. It looked like a cheap block of aluminium from the photos. But in the hand and upon working on it, totally different story. The build quality is astounding. It feels like its a premium bit of kit which it is. The size is just perfect, totally comfortable. The RM2 is also amazing quality and super easy to build on. This is just the start of the Reo journery.

So glad that you like it Gizmo. Many new Reonauts take a week or two to get it right and get their sweet spot. That is a great first coil - you should have seen my first one, I just refused to even take a photo. Fortunately the Reomizer is very forgiving. Some suggestions if I may. Yellow arrow: careful your coil is very close to the cap here, if it touches the cap you will get a short. Black arrow: your wick here could get into the way of and block the juice hole. Move it to where the blue arrow points, which is also a little dip in the ceramic floor.I just did it. 1.2ohms. Hitting like a beast.
lol that name sounds like a laxative. Giz what are the approximate costs of getting one self setup with the Reo (Battery & device) assuming that you have an RBA like the RSST or similar to use with it
Here is a picture of an ideal postion, seen from the top, for the coil on the Reomizer.
Thanks @Matthee for the advice. I moved the coil away from the sides and a bit further down and moved the wick a bit that connects to the left post.
@devdev. You need to get a atomizer that comes from reosmods.com as it allows for juice to get fed from the bottom. You looking at about R2500.00 landed here, then you just need to add battery. Assuming you have kanthal wire and cotton or silica

I should have also fed through more cotton i have to keep squanking after the third drag as I can taste the cotton burning quite fast.
Just that damn micro coils hole was soo soo tiny

Never came right with cotton - it just burns up too fast.
Another tip that took me a while, "squonking" works best to squeeze the bottle slowly, dont pump it.
Oh, I thought that was silica. Way too much cotton. Your wick should at the left post end at the post and just touching the floor - as seen on your photo. The right side does not even have to touch the floor. Now, put on your cap, remove the drip tip and look inside. Squonk for about 3 counts - watch the juice come up and cover both the coil and the wick. Stop squonking, the juice will be sucked back into the juice bottle. Now fire and vape. Cotton does need more squonking. You will get the rhythm very quickly.I should have also fed through more cotton i have to keep squanking after the third drag as I can taste the cotton burning quite fast.

For the first week or two my coil and wick was the not micro coil at all - just did the way shown on the video posted on this thread - http://www.ecigssa.co.za/index.php?threads/i-caved.439/#post-5163. That gave me time to practice micro coils. There are many, many Reonauts that to this day use this method (including the Modmaster himself), saying it gives the same results for far less trouble.
Ok just replaced it with a small piece of silica wick. Seems far better.
That may only be revealed to Reonauts/Reonuts unfortunately, Dev.That is awesome Giz! I want one of these badly, but I need to wait until next year before going for a mech mod.

So it seems they make a mechanical mod which has circuitry which makes it a semi electronic mod?

No, that is a full VV electronic mod. Just with juice on board, bottom fed. Not for me for various reasons. The non VV Grand Reo is the real thing as far as I am concerned.
Gizmo, wow!
Once again, im away in meetings most of yesterday and i miss this great news!
Wishing you all the best for your new REO
Andre, love your pic with the arrows. Brilliant.
As a matter of interest, gizmo, what juice are you vaping on it and how does the vape compare to other (more modest) kit?
