Please Help Me Understand

[kimbo]

I know i am most probably getting stoned for asking this but here goes ..
What makes the Reo so Above all?
Is it because it is bottom fed? Can someone please explain to me
Why i am asking is i wanna make a wooden box mod for myself, i was thinking to make it bottom fed and get a Reo Upgrade Kit from @Oupa and have some RBD modded
I know it is not a Reo but what is different

@kimbo, here are some quotes I pulled for you from the Reo Basics thread

Hi @crack2483 - I know where you are coming from since I was asking the same questions.

I think I may be able to help you to understand

My IGO-L dripper (a very basic dripper) has almost the exact same flavour and throat hit as the REO/RM2
Naturally, the reason is because they are very similar.
They are both drippers.

I have set up my IGO-L against the REO/RM2 with 5Pawns Bowdens Mate and the flavour and throat hit are virtually identical. (after some tinkering and tuning with the coil resistances)

That IGO-L experience I have had is the best vape I had (flavour and throat hit wise) until I got the REO. The REO is now equal to that.

Only thing is that the REO sits permanently on my desk or in my man bag and I can take a vape whenever I want with just a quick squonk instead of dripping. So there is nothing special from the vape itself - just that its as good as a well set up dripper but with the convenience of an onboard tank.

To me the REO is therefore a winner - its like a permanent dripper.

It also has several other benefits to it as well

Hope that helps

EDIT - when I said "there is nothing special from the vape itself" i should have said "nothing special over and above a very well set up top class dripper"

I don't know, it's been that way in my experience. I used to have a ton of mods, I've since sold most of them because of the Reo. I have two mods now- a cloud setup (Copper Caravela with Atomic) and a daily setup. (Reo)

Ditto. I have a smallish pile of mods and gear that aren't REOs, but they're just for the hobbyist aspect of vaping. My REOs are what gets used for the business end of vaping, keeping me in a near-constant state of nicotine bliss. 99 percent of the actual time I'm vaping, it's on a REO. For me, yes. The end-all be-all.

I could happily do without the rest, not so without a REO.

what is different

Not much, you can easily make the same thing yourself. If you have the time.

 

[MurderDoll]

Its something you can't explain.
You know it when you have it but can't explain it.

Kinda like love. Except its REO.

There are other bottom fed unit out there. But they don't compare. Maybe its the simplicity that makes it so complex?
Like love. REO is love.

Thank you for the link @Alex

Thank you all for explaining and not stoning me

No problem bro, I plan to make my own personal squonker one of these days, there is really nothing complicated about it. Just a 510 connection that's modded for bottom feed.

 

[DoubleD]

@Alex wow the person who made that little mod is a genius! Simple and to the point, great stuff!

 

[MarkK]

@kimbo You just need to vape on a reo to know

@Alex umm yea, its nice an simple untill about 5 or 10 minutes into the build
then things start getting complicated!

I don't own a reo but this is my understanding

It's not really the reo that is so amazing but rather the RM2 atty that sits on it. The only thing that the reo is doing is feeding power to the atty, the magic happens with in the atty.

With that said, I think you would get the same experience if you slapped the RM2 atty onto any other bottom feeding mech mod.

This is just my opinion.

I do not think you're wrong at all.
But not all mods (mech or otherwise) are created equal.

I agree, not all mech's are created equal

But if you were to purchase an original mech from a reputable vendor I think your experience would be very similar as to that of having the rm2 sit on the reo.

The dripper experience without the hassle - which is brought about not by the RM2, but by the bottom fed functionality seated inside the Reo. Could be any atomizer on top of the Reo. E.g., imo the Cyclone with AFC beats the RM2. Of course, another factor is the convenience, e.g ease of switching juices, pocketability, etcetera. So, the difference and the magic imo do reside in the Reo.

But I dont think that is something unique to the reo but rather to bottom feeding mods

or am I mistaken?

I personally think you are spot-on.
BoggerBox, VMOD XL, Old Goat, Boge... there are quite a few. A lot of them of very high quality at very reasonable prices.

The Reo just turned out to be the World of Warcraft of bottomfeed-mods, and if you say anything even remotely non-positive about it, then a million fans will jump out of the walls to eat your face.

@WHeunis, many people on this site, myself included have discovered how good these "simple" Reo mods are, but judging from all your recent posts, it seems to me that you are hell bent on stirring up a hornets nest. This is really unnecessary, get whatever device you feel is best for you and refrain from flaming this topic. And consider this a friendly warning.

 

[johan]

NO, NO, No! not again! the second thread in 2 days time jaywalking in the same direction!

i dont have a reo, yet, and by the way you speak of it is almost as if you've owned 100's of them

your thread title states, please help me understand, there were many replies to 'help you understand' but you missed the bus on all of them.

if you ask for advice, and then get given a lot of it and still fight those that give it to you then you sir are, as @Chop007 would say, a legend

The fact that the reo is milled out of a solid block of aluminum and is pretty much the toughest piece of vapegear on the market also helps its cause. That and the simplicity of setting it up and using it. I also watched the reviews for the vmod and boge bf mods and they have there niggles. Anyway my 2c from a non reo owner perspective.

You are absolute correct. The principle is bottom feed and power source combined. In this sphere the Reo has proven itself over and over as the best available at the price. Many have tried, many have failed - mostly because of inferior quality. There are some awesome other ones, but usually far more expensive than a Reo. In this arena the Reo is the best quality for your buck, with a proven backup system.

Not my thread.

 

[capetocuba]

This all sounds way to complicated for me ... think I might go back to my trusty T2

 

[Metal Liz]

I got another one for you TylerD

@Gazzacpt small correction: the OP was @kimbo, it just went severely South (again).
