Why should I consider a Reo?

Which reo did you drop in the pool @Alex ?

Did you jump in like the Hoff to save her? :D

It was my mini, forgot she was in my shirt pocket :D while bending over to grab the damn kreepy pipe.
 
Following this discussion made me think that Vaping is allot like Hunting.

I also have 2 Reos which is used for 90% of my Vaping, but I also have Sigelei 20W Regulated mod, MVP, 2 or 3 unregulated mods (Panzer & RaiVapes V2) and various tanks (PT2, PT3 mini, Kaifun lite, Taifun GT, Aqua) that is used when I want to "experiment" with different power options on some juices.

Why I say Vaping is like Hunting is that with hunting the Serious Hunters have an arsenal of different calibre guns for different situations.
Depending on what they want to hunt - Small game (light calibre) Medium game (Medium calibre) Large game (Big calibre)
Also depending where they hunt - ( Plains or Bush)

So my conclusion is that there won't be an Ideal Device for everybody, but that it depends on your Vaping style and where and how you want to Vape.

The solution is to have an arsenal of Vape Gear (Just like the Serious hunters) so that you can use the right "GUN" for the intended purpose of the desired Vape Experience.

For me the Reo is my all rounder at 1.1 Ohm (my 30.06 calibre) , the MVP with PT2 & PT3 my light calibre (.243) and the Sigelei & other non regulated mods can be used if I need to go to the darker side of Sub Ohm vaping.(with the proper Batteries)

Therefore I don't think there is ONE device that can offer you All the options Vaping has to offer.
There are also so many variables wrt personal taste, box vs tube, aesthetics, ease of use, convenience, size, quality, safety,regulated or unregulated, etc.

For me if I only had the choice of having One device, It would have to be a Reo because it suits most of my requirements best, but again my requirements might be different from the next persons due to all the variables.
 
Better flavour? On what set-up is this? I've also been there @MarkK. Never understood all these fan boys raving about a piece of crap. There's a reason why Reos are so popular. And if you think they are expensive, how much did your current setup/setups cost? And changing juice in a Reo is probably easier than any other device. I go through a lot more trouble than most guys here for changing juice. 20 sec rinse under warn tap water, dry, dry burn, new wick, screw in bottle and you're off. How long does it take to change juice in a dripper or tank system?
The better flavour is in my opinion. as i said i think the REO has a creamy nature to it, but i have noticed much larger flavour profiles from my dual coils, i taste many more flavours in other words, it feels like the flavour is bigger. hard to describe i just enjoy it way more.

Simply put I dont want any one to buy a REO because the forum told you to...

As for changing juice I use rayon and just drip my new flavour ontop, there is a little flavour creep for a bit but not a problem for me. If the flavour creep is really that bad i just pull out the rayon-dry burn - rewick and away i go again. No rinsing or toilet paper and pipes or various flavour bottles or filling those bottles, Just one or 2 or 3 bottles of juice depending on mood and drip drip drip all day.
Thanks to my regulated device I use 1 battery a day at around 23w at the moment 24.5w pushing out 4.82v and she will last all day long...

Vaping is only as difficult as you make it ;)
 
Oh and my setup cost me about 2k. Kinda hard to price exactly lol i spent alot of money to build my mods but it still came in a bit cheaper then buying a reo setup lol
 
Exactly @Jimbo Perfectly worded
Just because the reo is so punted, dont buy into the hype. Make your own decision :)

Nah dude, that's my problem then. If I change from naartjie to ry4, I'm sure as hell gonna wash it properly. Can't see how you get toilet paper in the Reo tube? It's about 1mm diameter. Maybe that's why a Reo suits me better. I'm more into a perfect vape .
 
Hehe i just dont want to have to clean the reo tube as well there is enough messy stuff with this vaping hobby ;)

From naartjie to RY i would also wash out... lol you not getting rid of that taste...

As for a perfect vape :) I will perfectly blow you off your chair with a strawberry nesquick vape ;D
Its like REO users think their vape tastes better then every one elses lol :D

As my best buddy would say: "HEY! You think you poep ice cream!?" lol :D

I could have saved many thousands if I had gone directly to a Reo, In fact just adding up the money spent on other devices, I could have another 2 Reo's now.

But I guess that was all part of the journey for me, and likely the reason why I so value my Reo's now.

None of us have a dog in the fight, and there is no financial incentive to punt them, Just unbridled enthusiasm for a device that people are excited to share with others. If it comes across as fanatical, well.. it kinda is I guess :D

Been there, done that. Reo is a bargain to say the least. To get a half decent MVP setup will cost what? R850 for MVP and probably R400 for a descent tank. Then you want to start dripping and find the MVP is not good enough any more. Well I guess I don't have to tell the rest of the story. Bottom line, if I started with a Reo, I would've saved a huge amount of money. But that's what made vaping such a good journey for me.
 
@Limbo if you started with an SX you would never have needed anything else

Its the way the market is structured... the vaping "journey" is a spending trail we are all on to get to the same place

Have heard that a lot too. About 5 vapers have tried my Reo so far. Always amazes me how their face changes and eyes light up with the first pull.
 
it is wow

I did say wow the first time i vaped on one, then i vaped it 2 or 3 more times and went back to my SX :)
 
well you must vape on it ;D As i said i should be at MOB later, bring a device to play with on it :D its very unique :D
 
Exactly @Jimbo Perfectly worded

But if it wasn't for the forum that "Punted" the Reo I would not have known about this awesome little device that nearly ticks all the boxes for MY vaping preference and I would probably not have invested in getting myself 2 Reos.

Like I mentioned I have bought about 7-8 other mods & even more tanks & drippers that didn't really satisfied MY vaping needs and since getting the Reos I only bought an Atomic & Magma BF, not because I'm not satisfied with the BF Reomizer 2, but because out of pure curiosity because these attys have Adjustable Airflow and can be build with dual coils.

My vaping journey feels complete for now:) but again. I only need one more Reo.:p
 
lol @Limbo tell me if the disagree counts as a down rating and i will remove :)
Its not because i dont have one :) I have access to many but love only one :D

Hehe I would love to know from @Chef Guest Do you use your woodville as much as the SX or has the SX taken over your life now :)
 
@Jimbo i have all of the features you mention, i just drip in the top instead of pushing a little bottle ;)

Don't know? It's a internet forum, ain't gonna affect me. So how long have you used the sx and at what power do you use it mostly?
lol @Limbo tell me if the disagree counts as a down rating and i will remove :)

@Limbo lol some people care ;) Just dont want to offend in case :)

Been using the SX for about a month continuously. dont use any other mods any more they leave me thinking about the SX
As for whattage it really is actually build dependent, although i have started building my legend between 0.7 - 1.5 ohm range and hitting it with anything from 20 to 40W depending on how much heat i feel like :D

I will admit that i cant really go higher then 40w, its just too much for me usually.
@Chop007 likes to keep his box at 49.5w :D lol
 
Every body is different, The more control you have over the factors the more consistent your vape can be.
I find the reo rather limiting in this area :/
 
@Jimbo i have all of the features you mention, i just drip in the top instead of pushing a little bottle ;)

Great to hear that just like all the Reonauts you have also then achieved your Vaping Nirvana

The pushing of a little bottle already securely seated in the Reo is just more convenient for me. 8--)
 
@MarkK, are you planning to sell your mods?

Is that one of the reasons for your input in this thread?
