You've seen them? Haha thank you. It always makes me feel good about doing videos when someone comes on here and says that. Super x drifter on here or sxmxdrifter is the reason I finally tried out Reo's. Then I met Scydivasloth or fairtradesloth on here. We've done collaboration videos too, if you seen the first one and the second one will be uploaded today. I think you made the cutoff to be included in the new guy shoutout in sxmx vlog today, hopefully :)

Congrats and welcome. I hear you on the occasional sore thumb. I wash my hands so much that in winter months they crack and twice it has happened to my squonk thumb. I switch thumbs and After a couple of days it gets better.

My button thumb is also my squonk thumb and button pressing never bothers me. But it does have this permanent indentation now - thanks Rob :)

I like it (my indentation) and won't use button covers. I like the stock button :)

I'm a Reovillian now! Got a LP/SL Grand from Rob 2 days ago. Also got the Reomizer 6. Started with SXMXdrifters 0.5ohm build, a little too cool for me. So I built a couple of 24g Nichrome 8 wraps. Getting 0.2ohms. It's a nice warm vape. Noticing my thumb is sore, what's up with that !

She's a beauty. Congrats Greener but beware, this is how it starts... with the first. I have reo #6 on the way but tend to give one away every year (I should control that impulse), so really I'll just have #4. As has been stated, the bottle will soften and the thumb will toughen. You can try squonking part time with you're middle finger, sorta give your thumb a break.
Welcome to Reoville.

Russ, I have the same problem in winter months, my thumbs even crack at the corners of my thumbnails... makes squonking a pain until I found this:

O'keefe's Hand Cream

If you haven't tried it, you can thank me later.

Also a trick I found if you also get those splits at the corners of your thumbnails: super glue. Just a smear, glues, seals and protects it while letting it heal up.

We squonkers have to take good care of our hands. :D

cheers

I sqounk with my middle finger, vary rarely use my thumb to sqounk. I've got my thumb on the fire button and my middle finger I use while holding the mod with the door exposed in my hand. It's easy for me to just sqounk while holding the grand in one hand. Then I'll hear the juice get sucked back into the bottle and start vaping again.
