OK,gotta say it,know I'm gonna get nailed!!!!!

[rogue zombie]

I usually line up a couple of RDA's with different coils and swap them as I go. I know its not that simple with the reo because of the bottom feed.

Yip, that's a nice way of going mechanical.

I've been juggling for the six months that I've been vaping, between buying gear, replacing gear and getting through trying all the premium juices available here.

But hopefully this year I can get a few PV's going and give mechanical a looking into.

@r0gue-z0mbie I have been dripping for a while. Still a little harsh for me. I am also forcing myself to use my Panzer Mech everyday as @Arthster, and I'm slowly getting used to it.

Oh really.

Dripping made me cut down from 18 to 12mg.

And I still vape between 9 to around 14 watts only, so it's not harsh on the throat.

I still don't understand how people drip 12mg at 20 to 50 watts. I'm sure that would be too harsh for me.

 

[Arthster]

@huffnpuff And there's exactly the response I was looking for. It's as if the more seasoned vapers, and even non seasoned vapers have a belief that this is a device one must own, before anyone takes you seriously. Kind of like the petrol heads with an Alfa, or a Golfer playing St Andrews. It's strange how certain communities have specific "rites of passage". I heard someone at a store the other day say to someone who was smoking a twisp, "Hey, if your'e going to Vape, at least do it on some proper hardware". My immediate thought was, isn't the point of this supposed to be that the person has quit stinkies, and well done. I am still definitely interested in buying one and trying it, but it's a hell of a price.

Well its the price that's stopping me at the moment, I try and get something every month but its more a case of buy a new rig in stages, At this point in my life I cannot afford to get the complete thing once of. That's why I have created the Reo trust

with regards to the twisp I prefer to let guys who buy them get the use they need and then figure out on there own what the next step would be.

 

[Philip Dunkley]

@Arthster I Agree. Generally I'll engage in conversation with them and ask how it's going. A lot of people who Vape don't even know that there is a big wide world of Vaping out there. They believe it's a trip to the kiosk once a month, make a selection of 8 flavours, and head home.So Many people have come up to me while vaping and asked, hey, what flavour twisp is that. That's when I point them here and try and open up a new world for them. Damn I love this lifestyle!!

 

[Philip Dunkley]

Good idea @Arthster, I'm going to start a Reo Fund!!

 

[Philip Dunkley]

@r0gue z0mbie It's more the heat that's to harsh for me, not the NIC funny enough

 

[Arthster]

well wen I joined the forum I thought I was just the dude with my eGo-C and CE4... I quickly (Less then 5 minutes after joining) Went looking for a vape shop and ordered my first mid level set which was the VAMO 5 and Kanger protank 2 (Ah the memories ).

and that was a purchase to make it look like I had an idea of what i am talking about. Thankfully the forum did introduce me into a whole world of options and choices.

Now come on. Tell me who thinks that doesn't look good?

It's a beauty.

So I was quite excited today when I chatted to fellow vaper and he said to me, quite nonchalantly, "Oh, I smoke a Reo, Let me get it" I had not seen one as yet, being relatively new. He handed the device over, and my first instinct was, damn that thing is ugly!! Now I know I'm starting something here, but I really don't like the look of them!! I know everything is subjective, but generally I agree with most people on Vaping gear, but this just does not do it for me. Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the Reo is the FIAT Multipla of the Vaping world. Practical but not so pretty!!!!!!!!! Even the pimped out ones look a little OTT, and the lengths that some people go to, to try and make them look good. Wow!! Sorry if I offend, but I've gotta get it out.

Oh no you didn't

The reo can be very pretty in the same way as a classic car is versus the latest and greatest model - but some people will similarly not feel the same about that either. It's just too subjective.

I think it's the "personality" (and by that of course I mean the vape) that makes the Reo beautiful to it's users. It's pretty on the "inside" and so, by extension, it becomes pretty on the outside to the user.

One thing is undeniable, regardless of it's looks, it is a great device, or there is no way so many users would sing it's praises so frequently. It may not be great for everyone, but that does not make it any less great to those who love it

Fully agree, Its like the MVP that is just a box and nothing more but I love it to bits and think its one of the best looking mods ever.

 

[Ollie]

Persomally i love the look of the REO... its a box mod!

End of the day, all box mods are aesthetically the same thing, they are all the same shape, and have an atty on the top.

I also love the "In hand" feel of a box mod, and then you hold the REO, and its such an epic fit.

 

[Yiannaki]

I'll just leave this here

 

[free3dom]

Still surprises me to this day how much (and how fast) I fell in love with box mods, even though I initially though they were ridiculous

I blame cigarettes...they distorted my vision

Pinky and the Brain?

I love the neon colour scheme...looks really striking

 

[Ollie]

I'll just leave this here

Absolutely love it @Yiannaki

Now all you need is a "Hilighter Blue" one to finish the lumo's off!

 

[Ollie]

the exact thing happened to me with box mods @free3dom

Haha! Thanks bro

Lol! This is true

I have since acquired an orange one. Still need a good shot of all the ladies in one pic!

Mind you, @Silver has a great shot of the reos from a mini meet

They just have all the right "curves"

Hi @Philip Dunkley

Thank you for your valued opinion and thoughts on the reo.

Do you mind posting a pic of a mod that you think is awesome looking?

Absolute winner of a thread @Philip Dunkley been thinking the same about the appearance of the Reo. I do think the aesthetics of vaping devices should always come second to functionality. That said the Reo is very lacking in aesthetics and they are downright ugly to me! People rave about their convenience, performance and of course that they are original devices etc but to me they are just bottom fed mech mods and I have used a number of them now. The performance in terms of flavour is equivalent to almost any other mod with a dripper on it. My dripping is now also starting to hit the lower side of the ohm and the Reo in my experience has terrible overhang with all the atomisers that could comfortably accomodate a decent (imo) set of coils so dont think I will ever go there.

But those are my personal gripes with it. I use one of the ugliest box mods ever, the Hana which really is just a box but I love it. I can very easily see how people whose vaping style is matched well to the Reo would absolutely love it and the convenience of it. For me the main thing is that the way I vape I would land up needing to change batteries all the time, deal with overhanging atomisers all the time and refill that bottle every two hours if I was out at night. There are two places in my life that I think the Reo would be a major addition to my life though, the car and the office. Two places where I would want the convenience and ease of use. Otherwise I am happy to fiddle and drip to make my clouds.

The great thing about vaping though is who is ever going to own one device (I am at 15 now) unless they only want the one, and with the diversity of it all I think there is so much for us to experience and use in our own personal vaping regime. For now my workhorse is a Hana, Magma combo but that is changing a bit to an orchid and aspire CF. I can easily see the Reo being a dependable workhorse type vape device.

@Rob Fisher has the one Reo grand (I think it is) that is truly a work of art, just a pity about the stars and stripes drip tip he loves

Hi @Danny
Nice post and your comments are great

I think the issue is that one often is tempted to look for that single "perfect device"
Outstanding vape, good looks, convenience, durability

But as you point out, most of us have more than one device and each has different applications. I think it is very tough to have just one device given the different needs when in the car, in the office, at home, travelling or even blowing massive clouds.

All that being said the Reo does make an exceptionally good workhorse and is a great all-rounder. I have used plenty devices and continue to use a number of them. If you said to me hypothetically you can only take and use one device for say 2 months, there would be not even an ounce of hesitation, I would take a Reo and be quite happy.
