I do get it. I am right handed and mainly use my REO in my left hand.

A lefty would probably use their right hand more for the REO.

I find the REO in my left hand gives me use of my right hand for other stuff.

Now, when I am sitting on my couch watching tv I do use my right hand to hold the wood REO's.

WHAT? You mean it's not left handed:facepalm:

I hold with air hole facing button and button away from me. I fire with my index finger and squonk with the thumb.

I was unaware of the previous thread... and I may have been taken far too seriously.

My VVW has a left-side button and left-side squonk. The mini and grand have right top buttons and left side squonk. I'll have three years of REO operation behind me soon without any actual difficulty achieving squonk nor button press....

It just seems like a right side squonk would make for an interesting addition to the line up and might not require a herculean effort to create, maybe as a limited edition or such. The variety of these things has already been pretty amazing with different finishes - SL - LP - Wood - wood mini - wood 18490 - VV - mini - mini2 - grand.... I sort of think a run of lefties or ambies would at the very least give the collectors one more to add to their giant box of REOs ;)

Hm, I never really thought of this actually. I'm left handed & use both my Reos in my left hand. But one of them is a woodville so the button is on the side & I use my pointer finger for the button & my thumb to squonk. With the metal one I also use my pointer finger for the button & when I want to squonk I turn it & use my thumb. Personally I just find it easier to squonk with my thumb than some other finger. Either way it's never really been a problem for me.

One could have a hole milled in the back of the reo I would do it . I run the mod with both hands left or right never been a problem . The offer stands I will mill a hole in the back of a mod . When I drive I use my right hand when I am at the computer or running a piece of equipment I use my left hand

Just another example of the best damn modmeister there is bar none.

I have to say I always find this subject odd as even tho I am right handed I have always held and vaped my Reo in my left and squonked with my middle finger......I have average sized woman's hand as well....
Ha! I tried that, you can squonk and trigger at the same time, continuous cloud 9 lol!
