Yes that is true it is very sad they have gone. They were around with us from the beginning of vaping. There are other mod makers who do make excellent mech. Squonkers though,they just don't resemble a REO device at all.Just heard this news. I gave away vaping for a few years. And just got addicted to nic gum instead. I can tell you the gum is far worse. Decided to get back into vaping and thought I'd google reos..can't believe they are gone. I gave away all my mods years ago. Such a shame..they are solid and hard hitting when you get it right.
