Sorry didn't realize you wanted a review It's going great, very happy with it. It looks and feels amazing, very smooth to touch with all rounded edges, Could be a bit slippery if your not careful. Its built like a tank from a piece of solid aluminum and is fairly heavy as expected. The locking switch/button works perfectly so far and is easy to turn and very good to press. I thought it might take some practice to squonk but its very easy to Sus out how long to squonk the bottle. It feeds well, depends on how much juice is in the tank. Sometimes needs more than I expected but if I do too much it either sucks back into the bottle or sits in the reservoir and vapes from there. Its so neat with its 6ml bottle and 18650, nothing else on view inside except the battery spring. The magnetically held door is a bit too easy to push up or down but I haven't dropped it yet. Stands up very nicely and would need a good push to knock it over. The Grand doesn't have many ways to hold it like my bottom buttoned SD. It's taking a bit of getting used to the button on top. It seems its either index finger or thumb of either hand. Expect the smaller mini has more variation. As always with devices it looks smaller than I expected. So far I've used a regular 510 atty which screws in so solidly, I mean no movement, wiggling about or coming loose. Very nice. I'm now using a LR Cisco 510 and it vapes great. Good hit and vapor. It makes me want to get better juice though as all mine is the very cheap stuff and I'd much rather have some delicious caramel apple pie in it all day I'm not sure if the flavour is slightly reduced compared to direct dripping or not, maybe, but I'll have to wait until I get some more flavoursome juices to find out. it feels so good to go a whole day or more without having to wipe up puddles of juice or drip every couple of minutes.I'm really enjoying this aspect. No mess, no hassle and a very reliable vape. I'm glad I bought this and not something else. Its such a neat piece of work and could double as quite the weapon if needed It's far easier to use than I expected and no real learning curve after a few minutes. It does look gorgeous in black/silver. I'm pleased theres no problems (touch wood) as its always a worry of having to send it back to the U.S. I'm just waiting for my stock of LR 510's and 306's and cartos to give them a whirl now. I hope thats wetted your appetite If I missed anything just ask.

Yes they seem very popular with the Reo. Sounded odd using a carto with a juice feed but it sure is popular. I have some enroute from China but not sure if they're LR or not.

Thanks for the detailed review, Vaped - it sounds wonderful but I'm not having one (I tell myself). Must find out about Cisco and Boge LR atties, they both get a good press. scylla

Vapied, thanks for the review...does it come ready to go or do you have to buy additional bits like attys or carts? Also what type of battery does it use, and whats the life of it.can you use a 510 battery. Asking cause I've ordered the mini. So many questions

You only get the device and juice bottles. You'll need to buy some batteries and charger. It's 14500 batteries for the mini. You'll need your own atties. I use a driptip as the attie is fed from the bottle. No need for carts. IMR High drain batteries are recommended in 14500 size for the mini, especially if you want to use a low res atty. I got the charger from smokejuice/Moju as it takes many different size batteries, and it was the cheapest TR001 or something, also bought some of his High drain batteries to use while I wait for some AW ones to come.

My Reo Mini arrived today and first impressions... I Love it :-) I'm a lazy vaper and really can't be bothered with the filling of carto's or dripping etc so this is perfect, just squonk and go :-) I'm using a Boge LR 510 carto and it's yum.
More later....
