Worse case: this damages the real reo brand by confusing people that don't know better and assume that the real reo and the fake reo are made the same...
Best case: Reo's go up in value because the knock-offs prove to be horrid, the fakes become real cheap and the second hand market is flooded...
Hi Reoville residents.
I have an aluminium reo mini, that started life as a copper vein.
I'd love to re-finish it in something cool, funky and 'unique'.

Reo Mini is gone to my Mrs.. will know in a few days of she is keeping the Mini or if i'm going to be walking around with two reo's

Did the Reo service this afternoon. Thanks to @Andre and the other Reonauts for solid advice.
Stripped out the parts (carefully) and the old gasket was damaged, so hopefully, that was the only cause of the leaks.
Took the opportunity to properly wash the Reo and then 'hair...
Big thank you to @Oupa and Chrystel for the awesome service.
I amended the order, manually...and then still added another item in at last minute. All this was done without any hassle from the Vapour Mountain team.
Package received today and soon its Reo service time..
Very impressed...
@Andre , So i watched the video in preparation for the incoming spares and pending rebuild.. Couple of questions:
1. In the video, he uses superglue to attach the tube to the nipple.. Is this a must? Is this advisable? I can see the benefits of it..but how would you remove the tube (to swop it...
