It's about to get bigger...

Clever man, with Kanger getting into Squonkers, this could change this market dramaticallyIt's a sad day for vaping... Robert O'Neil has announced that he will be closing his forum on ECF soon and going into semi-retirement.
Here is his post.
I am not going out of business but I am slowing down . I will still be selling mods doing repairs no worries on that front . If you need to contact me you can email me anytime . I have given up many things in life to run this business . I am ready to semi retire and work on some other projects . I no this is going to bother some people its not my intent . I have met lots of great people here on ecf some will be my friends forever . Ecf has been good to me I am a big fan of ecf . I am down sizing it will be only me running the shop shortly . I thought it was only fair I didn't want you to show up and find the forum gone with no warning .
I strongly doubt any device can be made as good as a reo.
The reo is years ahead in terms of its design and robustness.
I have no faith in any mass produced squonker.
That I do not doubt, but the masses need to be provided for. Imagine if Henry Ford never went into mass production ?
And with mass production, comes consumption, and suddenly you have a large market for the REO-type quatity devices.
Interesting times !!!
I think part of Rob's issue with the REO's is actually the durability. In his good-bye forum thread on ECF you'll see many people popping in to thank him for the devices they got 3, 4, or 5 years ago that they still use daily... and haven't needed to replace (nor do they feel the need for regular attendance in the forum as a result).
His own catch phrase is "hopefully, this is the last mod you'll ever need". He claims to have made over 20K of them - imagine what that number would be if he didn't have so many one-and-done customers.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Archeological digs 500 years from now will find a grand clutched in my calcified hand... and it will work just fine after a quick bath and some deoxit gold.

And he still has around 1000 in stock. He's changing gears, he's earned that, but the real thing, authentic Reos, will still be available new for a long time, so will used "working as good as new Reos". I wouldn't buy anything less, especially not a clone of one.
My first 510 vape gear that I was talked into by some local gent almost 3 years ago was Kanger EVOD's, T3's and PT's for the Sigelei mods he also talked me into. I still have it all. The three Segelei mech's & V5 VV/VW got it done to learn on, are still viable mods for cheap clones. But I very soon called the Kanger gear (that I was even building my own coils for) Kanger Krap, and still do.

Yes but, regarding the durability, the eCig market will continue to grow and grow, considering how much smokers there are out there.
Personally I think, with TC and multi-battery devices, the Mechanical market is shrinking dramatically.
The Reo is aimed at a specific market, and sadly that market is shrinking.
It's very sad, because when "a friend" has gone through 3 poorly-made devices is 6 months, that's exactly when I would say it's time for a Reo.

Latest report has the ECF subforum going down tomorrow (Sunday, end of day NA time). Rob has asked that the forum be archived, but he's even going so far as to delete his account.
End of an era is nigh.

I saw that, too, Papa. Kinda cool considering our discussion earlier. Sad, sad day to me. Do you think we've thanked these fine folks enough for the warm, warm welcome we've experienced on this new forum? I hope so...

And with that it's done. The REO subforum on ECF is now closed and archived.
Steady, lads and lasses. Steady.

Very sad, indeed, however I appreciate the invitation to join my ol' friends here in this forum.
Thanks so much. Looking forward to keeping it all going.
