Beautiful devices here guys. I don't own a Reo, so sorry for posting in your special group :p
I do however have a future date with Mr @antonherbst for a Reo demo which I'm very much looking forward to (patiently waiting, absolutely no rush). There must be a reason you guys are going so gaga over these mods and I'm very curious why... :D

Good question @TheV
There are a few threads in Reoville that discuss why we like the Reo in a lot more detail.

But just a bit of a summary from my side:
  • Reliable - my Reos have been in use for about three years now with not a single problem
  • Simple - refilling and replacing the battery is easy
  • Rugged - i have dropped my Reos a few times. Worst that has happened is a delrin drip tip has snapped.
  • Feel - might just be me, but I love the feel in the hand, the way the fire button feels and the weight
To be fair, i do absolutely love the RM2 atty. The above points do not cover the vape itself. The vape on the RM2 is still the best MTL vape for me for my high mg tobaccoes. Ive tried several other tanks and devices but they just dont compare in flavour and overall satisfaction for me.

That said, the Reo is not for everyone. Its only 1 battery so not well suited for lots of power and clouds. In my view its better suited for a mild vape. Then there's the squonking. Its great to eliminate the need to drip, but its still not as convenient as a "grab and press" tank. Its a bit of a trade-off for getting the better dripper type flavour.

The other thing I love about the Reo is the massive passion of the original modmaker. Business has now been sold to a new owner, who I believe has the same passion.

Thanks for the detailed response @Silver. Those 4 key points are definitely something that is quite a priority for me when it comes to a mod so I can certainly see the appeal there.
The one concern that I have, that you have already raised, is the single battery. But that is not a Reo specific concern, it is a squonking concern for me in general. I love my dual battery mods and unfortunately dual battery squonkers are just to bulky for me ... so compromises need to be made here.

I do look forward to at least trying the experience. I always have an appreciation for things that other people are passionate about, even if it ends up not being my cup of tea (we will see!) :)

Adding to what @Silver has said . . .

I 100% get Where you are coming from , Reos just work , the single battery seems like a issue but depending on the type of vape you like (eg. If you are into 60+ watts, 24mm + , big air and fat exotic coils then the reo isnt for you imo)

They work fantastic for the MTL & RL (restricted lung) type vapes imo, i personally wouldn't try push more than 45watts, so if you can vape comfortably around 35 - 40 watts the reo could work for you imo

Back to the single battery, not an issue as you will want to replace it when you refill (1 battery per 7ml isnt bad imo) super convenient, i can gauge my battery "strength" from my bottle level

Your atty/build preference plays a huge roll on the overall experience

That is an awesome setup. Wow. I just have one question to the p67 owners. What difference do you "feel" between the reo grand and p67?

Thank you @Scissorhands. I appreciate the feedback. Even though I don't have a Reo this information is very valuable as I'm getting my first single battery mech squonker very soon (next week hopefully) ... so these are all things that I need to take into consideration :)

I have a Wasp Nano RDA that I feel can play this roll quite nicely. I just need to play around with some builds still.

And that is a lovely looking combo btw! :D

For the most part, the feel in the hand, although the p67 is slightly wider (and shorter) it just fits the right hand better because of the rounded edges and horizontal button

Make no mistake, there's nothing uncomfortable or inconvenient regarding the grands shape or button placement

If i must be honest i feel that the grand is a bit more rugged/tough simply due to its design and simplicity

Only a pleasure bud, feel free to ask questions anytime

Regarding the wasp, although iv never used one it should perform nicely , though you will need to reduce/cut the airflow considerably

Adapting my favourite mech hadaly build for the wasp, i would start with

Ni80 Parallel 26ga 2.5mm 6 wrap (aprox 0.3 ohm)

Peace

Thanks for the recommendation! I have a 0.28 build in there at the moment. Next build I'll push just over 0.3
The airflow on the Wasp reduces quite nicely so that should not be a problem.
I shall report back in a more general area with the results next week :)
Thanks again, I appreciate it

Reo's seems to be something that might suit me and hope I can invest in one, eendag as ek groot is. I like the single battery mods as it isnt as bulky as 2 battery mods. Thats the main reason why I'm still rocking with my Pico and Pico Squeeze. I'm a flavour chaser, also prefer to vape between 25 - 40 Watts and love single coil builds/atties.

I think I got the privilege of taking a toot or two from @Andre's Reo. We were both kinda in a hurry so I didnt get the proper experience but would love to try it out again. @Scissorhands Your Reo looks like my type of Reo with the fire button on the side. Don't feel comfortable with them being at the top. Edit: Then again from a logical p.o.v or at least my brain, it would be safer if the fire button is at the top as I like putting both Pico's in my jeans back pocket. making sure that its completely off as well as fire buttons pointing in opposite directions.

I'd also like to get my hands on a BB. From comments I've read so far, I'm positive that my menthol recipes would taste damn good in them.

Awesome, the Reo sounds like its right up your alley!

The grand locks by twisting the button 1/4 right (can be done with one hand/ 2 fingers)

The p67 you have to slide the door down 1/3rd, push the battery down 3mm and slide the delrin spacer to the right
20170917_145305.jpg

Both work well, the grand has a tendency of locking itself wich is annoying but no deal breaker

I haven't owned a BB but tried a friends clone , nice experience, but decided to pass

I wonder if the new owner has a regulated reo on the cards

Now that would be a winner
 
I think with the (single batt) Reo, you can go lower on the power (ie higher build) and then just up the power of the juice :D
 
Thumper just got a rewick (CB2) , juice refill (last bits of Havana Gold, sob) and a fresh batt.

What a pocket rocket!

This is my best MTL coil on the RM2. It's a 29g Ka paracoil. 1.6mm ID. 5 double wraps. Ohms about 0.5. Its a bit of an old coil (been in for 3months, gosh time flies) will have to recoil soon. But still going very nicely.

So that's about 30 Watts. But shared between the two parallel coils. So only 15W each. Not a lot of power. Juice however is 18mg

Lovely, crisp, instant, vigorous

After going through 6 replacement glasses on 2 different RTA's, I am giving tanks a rest. Also, retailers seem to only carry spares on the "latest and greatest", which doesn't help either. You phone and ask for a Griffin 22 replacement glass and the response is as if its a "rare classic". Wasn't this tank the business just a year ago?

So as much as I don't like taking my Reo out, she is now my carry around. LG Choc Battery lasts all day, going through 12ml.

I figured having a Reo and not using it on the go, is like having a Jeep that never sees sand :D

Came to the same conclusion

I hated having to baby all my tanks/reg mods

I use my leprechaun for hostile environments, its rock solid and fits in a jeans coin pocket! , requires alot of maintenance though wich led me to the reo as a daily driver for work days

designate one as a tool, it has a purpose, a roll to fill, use it, love it and never sell it, chances are it will outlive you anyway!

The other reos can be treated as jems, funny enough im more attached to my "beater" gear, they have character

Interested to see your "work horse" if you decide to go that route :)
 
REO P67 with Ti Flave 22. The bulletproof squonker that can handle my over squonking no problem! What a fantastic Squonker by all accounts! I think I'm gonna get a White P67!
