Lock This - Hijacked And Went To Hell.

There are a whole heap of benefits... but for me the number one reason is the quality of the vape flavour wise.

The fact I can carry around spare batteries easily.
6ml of juice and really simple to refill in need.
The ability to choose the resistance and type of coil I like.
The ability to use the wicking material I like.
The portability.
The ruggedness of the device.
The Cyclone fit's it!
Simplicity of the device.
The ease of building coils and wicks for it.
Cost savings... once you have one you really don't need anything else.

I'm sure there are whole heap of other reasons but these are just off the top of my head!

And of course the ease to change juice!

Although there are RTA's out there that hold just as much, and is even easier to refill...

Ok that i can see as a nice benefit.
Hmmm...Im starting to agree with @WHeunis, a regulated Reo would be awesome
Best of both worlds

@Rob Fisher i am not really well versed with RBA's.
But wont a Kayfun etc. offer some of the same benefits as in
"

"
And something like a Hana is probably of similar size for portability, although having a tank on top will make it taller.
Im not arguing as i have not had any of these devices, just trying to understand.

The Kayfun and Russian lose out because they are a pain in the rear to rewick and refill compared to the REO. Don't get me wrong... I LOVE my Russian a lot and the flavour is great... but the thought of recoiling, rewicking and refilling it leaves me stone cold.

That being said I will probably never sell my Original 91% Russian because it was the first real rebuildable that actually worked the way it should and it has a special place in my heart! But I really won't use it much again...

There are? Please tell me which ones?

Erlkönigin.
Rated for 6ml, but realistically can hold 7ml.
Has top filling ports, which open VERY easily.

It's a ***** to learn wicking on it though (so ive heard)


EDIT: here ya go

Squanking and its a tad unattractive put me off. It's a excellent device and I have been eyeing the mini. But I haven't been able to pull the trigger when I remember how much the squanking was irritating

How long would it take to clean unit, re-wick and change juice?

 

[WHeunis]

Less than a Kayfun.
Not by much.
The fill ports are mega awesome though when you look at time.

Coiling and wicking will be similar to any other RTA out there.

There is no way I can sit through a Phil video but I'll take your word for it... and I guess it costs about eight million Euro? And you said there was more than one easier to fill?

And I'm sure rewicking is a nightmare compared to a REO... so that one doesn't count.

There in lies my issue... pain in the rear end compared to a Reomiser or Cyclone.

Ok I have had a Russian and Kayfun for over a year and for me to change juice I need to clean unit, rewick (minimum) and fill. This process takes me at least 5 times longer than changing juice on a Reo. I might be doing this wrong, but don't think so.

@Gizmo 'arama I will let you play with one of mine that has a Cyclone on top... you will be pulling triggers left right and centre!

Imo, youre way overstating this.
And even if youre not, I still dont want an unregulated device even if it refills itself instantly without intervention.

As much as refilling and wicking is a dealbreaker to you, unregulated is even bigger to me...

I'm really surprised how fast this thread into a Reo-war instead of the "im looking to purchase these things" like I thought this section was supposed to be.
No biggy though.

Because the thing that bothers me even more, is that literally not a single retailer/vendor has actually responded to money in the air.
I literally threw money into the air with this thread, and NOBODY wants it?!

I don't think it was a war... you were looking for answers and I think we gave our opinion... retailers have work to do and only check the forums when they get a chance... the rest of us addicts just keep posting!

Hey... I'm working!... Sort of...

 

[WHeunis]

you were looking for answers

Woah!
No.

The only questions I have (me, personally, speaking on my own behalf only) was price and availability.

I know what I want right down to the detail.

I'm very relaxed if you want to stay with regulated devices... I know exactly where you are coming from... been there and have a t-shirt or two... I argued with @Andre more than a few times and he patiently answered all my questions... and then one day I bought one after trying @vaalboy's one.

Just try one sometime.

You are 100% right you were not looking for answers... my mistake. Sorry to waste your time trying to help.
