REO's Rock

[Rob Fisher]

I'm just sitting here vaping on Old Avril and thinking just how perfect and satisfying the vape is... I'm so grateful to @Andre for forcing me to try the REO... I must say I have bought more than a few devices, tanks, mods and general vaping stuff on my journey... but nothing comes that close to the perfection of the REO Grand with a Cyclone on top.

I know those without a REO will think "That okey is a loon with his archaic mech mod" and I also know that those with a REO will nod their heads and understand exactly where I'm coming from.

Quite often I sit quietly at my desk and vape on a REO and get a really warm and fuzzy feeling of contentment... and that's not a feeling I get from any of my other vaping devices.

Yes I will keep buying new devices because I love testing new bits and pieces and a couple of devices worthy of mention of being a cut above the rest are the SX Mini M Class, the Billow 2, the new Subox, the Authentic Russian 91% (yes I still have it in use) on the Sigelei 20W... and last I do still rate the Atlantis Tank with the extended glass.

I would be really interested to hear what your REO happy place is... mine is below...

REO - Grand
Atty - Cyclone with slightly enlarged air hole, Fusion Drip tip or my US Flag tip
Coil and Wire - Single Coil 28g Kanthal
Coil Diameter 1,5mm
Resistance - 1,1Ω to 1,4Ω
Wick material - Rayon

[rogue zombie]

Lol.. I only have 1 bf atty and Grand. But it sure is a happy place!

REO - Grand
Atty - Derringer with wide bore drip tip (acyrilic)
Coil and Wire - Dual Coil 28g Kanthal
Coil Diameter 2,0 mm
Resistance - 0,5 Ω
Wick material - Rayon

It hits the spot like nothing quite before.

I do want to try 0,4Ω dual with 26guage, maybe 2,5mm diameter. And I am looking at what other atty would suit me.

But as is, it produces the flavour and dense smooth clouds that really hit the spot.

 

[Rob Fisher]

And I am looking at what other atty would suit me.

Based on your likes and set-up there is one you may want to try... and it's very similar to your nickname... The Rogue!

Of ALL the dual coil atties I have tried the Rogue was the one that gave not only good clouds but the best flavour for me.

The only device I have kept for more than a year is my REO grand. I have gone through many devices through the years but the REO has been the only device that I have used for more than 3 months.

My current list
REO grand with cyclops - 70% of the time with a diy menthol mix
Sx mini with tc - 20% of the time with commercial juices
REO mini with a rm2 - 10% of time with tobacco based mixes

 

[hands]

Before i had my REO i would look trough the REO threads and think pifff . Then @Rob Fisher convinced me to give it a go and that's when i found my happy place. Then he sent me a Cyclone to drill out the air hole and when i had it i asked if he would mind if i try it. He said no go ahead and well he never got it back.
REO Grand with Cyclone, 28g, 2mm id,7-8 raps with Rayon. the RM2 also see a fair bit of use.

 

[Mufasa]

Reo Grand LP

Atty - RM3, the only one I have
Coil and Wire - 28g single coil
Coil Diameter - 1.5 mm
Resistance - 0.9 Ohm
Wick material - Japanese cotton

Using this setup 100% of the time for the last month. I get that same warm fuzzy feeling just like @Rob Fisher every time I just look at it. I have a RM2 on the pre-order list and can't wait for it to arrive. I like things as simple as possible and this is it for me. At the moment I wouldn't even want another Reo - this one gives me everything I need. Well, that is what I am saying now.

Lovely thread @Rob Fisher

I have several happy places on my Reos:

• 1 ohm in RM2 for tasting the flavour in any juice (mouth to lung)
• 0.4 ohm dual in Nuppin for lovely long lung hits - especially on the fruity menthols

But I do have a special happy place that gives me satisfaction all the time - and has done so for over a year.

• 0.5 ohm paracoil in RM2 with cotton for a good mouth to lung thumping on Witchers Brew Blackbird

Reo Black + Blackbird = Thumper

Does this set-up still provide a relatively "cool" vape? And I mean cool as is temperature

Yes it does, lovely and smooth

I did however swop out the standard short drip tip for a longer one.

Thank you, I'm going to give it a bash.

 

[johan]

Well said @Rob Fisher. My shortlist should fully explain my contentment:

Reo Grand
RM2
(eGrip only used during travels & ePipe when I chill)

 

[BhavZ]

I must I disagree with the title of this thread.

My reo does not rock at all, it is actually quite stable when I put it down and requires some force to topple over.

If your reo is rocking then I suspect it is the screw that mounts the spring at the bottom of the reo, perhaps you need to tighten it a bit more to make it flush with the base of the reo.

Thanks to the great Reo community , and special thanks to @Andre I also started my Reo journey , too late , as I was like a raging rabbit buying this and that in the beginning .... needless to say Lagertha has been my trusty companion for the past three months I think. I had a spot where I was thinking of quitting after a scary bought of border line lung infection (didn't vape for two weeks) but that first toot I took just made me remember why I love vaping on a Reo so much ..... seductive simplicity.

Setup as follows :

Reo Grand LP
Atty - Cyclone with AFC 90% , RM2 10% , Challice Clone 0% (still need to try it)
Coil and Wire - 28g single coil
Coil Diameter - 2mm
Resistance - 1.2ohm
Wick material - Japanese cotton
ADV - Skyblue Ambrosia

Reo Woodvil

Dark Horse Mini
Dual coil with 1.5mm ID, 8 wraps each with stainless steel wire (a.a.a. G-Plat), 24 gauge.
.22 ohms
Using Jap cotton.
The flavor is amazing and the response is so quick.
Vape is still not warm enough for me, but it's ok.
Dual battery is def the way for me. Will see soon. Waiting on some devices.

Hi @zadiac - what do you mean stainless steel wire?
That means 0.44 ohms each coil - with 8 wraps - that must be very thick wire...

 

[kimbo]

Reo Grand LP
Chalice III clone
28g Kanthal 2mm ID 8 wraps
Loose mouth to lung
HEAVEN

 

[zadiac]

Hi @zadiac - what do you mean stainless steel wire?

Nope. 24 gauge 316L stainless steel wire a.k.a. G-Plat.

Sorry, should've mentioned that.

Just sitting here vaping a lovely juice on a truly classic device.

Having one of those '@Rob Fisher' special moments.

Just doesn't get much better than this. Effortless. Pure. Full. And very flavoursome.

REO and Nuppin is a classic combo indeed!
