So many mod idea for a reos... But no one has thought of this!!!

[marsos52]

hey guys, one thing I have noticed about my Reos grand is it is way more comfy to hold then I ever expected.

But, being a lefty, (left handed) the mod when its time for a squank from the bottle requires re-positioning on the hand.
I tired using it right handed and its a better fit so to speak.

Hey not a deal breaker by any means. I'm quite use to living in a right handed world.

Would be so nice to have a left handed Grand.

People have commented on this before but i don't get it the mods identical either way except for the squonk hole so I really don't understand when I squonk lefty I use my ring finger to squonk I don't have real big hands med to small glove size so it shouldn't be a big deal either way

 

[rabernet]

I thought about that too. I am a "hybrid" ambidextrous. I write right handed, can't write left handed at all. I eat left handed, can't eat right handed. I smoked left handed for the most part. I'm squonking right handed with my thumb, but would totally get a "left handed" REO to squonk with my left thumb if it were available.

I know.
Join in allegiance with Odyssteve in a quest for a REO pipe(REOPipe? Has a good ring to it.)
What is more ambidextrous than a pipe?

I wondered about this too but I hadn't seen it mentioned before. I'm very left handed and vape with my thumb on the fire button towards me, so the side for squonking the way I hold it is solid, always requiring a reposition.

It would be really cool to have one switched. Like marsos52 I'm used to adaptation.

Yup, that's exactly how I do it. Very little repositioning required.

I am right handed.

Usually hold my REO in my left hand. But do the same with my right. Fire button towards me like your pic.

To squonk I just let the REO rest on my fingers with my hand open and use my thumb to squonk.

With the wood REO's the fire button is away from me. I use the same maneuver to squonk.

Seems like just milling an extra hole on the back side would be the easy answer. I'd hate to try it myself only because it would bugger the finish. Maybe Rob would do it for you on your next Reo. It wouldn't hurt to ask........Maybe after the Woods are done though.

 

[Vash]

I squonk same as you Karen

Adaptation. Being a lefty, my life has been about adapting to what's wrong in the world. When the Grand is in my left hand(90% of the time), I hold it with the fire button away and fire with my index finger, squonk with my ring finger.
Little known fact. The leading cause of industrial accidents, resulting in fatalities, is lefties being forced to use right-handed tools.

 

[turbocad6]

this was a little funny for me in the beginning but I'm comfortable with it now, I've thought to make a solid door and then a squonk hole in the side or a plunger type side grip, but the hole ain't so bad. I use it left hand trigger forward, trigger finger on the trigger so no mater what I have to change hand position to squonk

This is how I like mine as well. The hole air hole facing the button the button on top. so to me the Reo is left handed since I have to reposition to sqounk when it's in my right hand.

 

[mackman]

I'm so left handed the only thing I do right handed is vape my Reo, air hole away from button and fire with thumb.

 

[Leslv]

If the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body...........then only left-handed people are in their right mind.

I am also a lefty, and I prefer to vape in my left hand with the buttton on the outside. I've got small hands so my ring finger can touch the bottle but cannot squank it. I end up repositioning the REO to squank with my thumb. Not the worst adaptation in the world. It'd be cool to have a squank button (similar to the woodies) on the left side of the REO so that my palm could push it.

This thread should be called the Left-handed Reonauts support group.

I too am left handed, and have had to adapt to the right handed world. The worst thing (in my opinion) in a left handed persons world is the "LEFTY" scissors they make you use in grade school. Come on people, blunt ended scissors? What am I going to be able to cut with these, water?

Another thorn in my left-handed side...dry erase boards. I just erased everything I just wrote, with my hand.

I think a side squonk hole would be great for right or left handers. I like the idea of a solid door

 

[Big Hitter]

I'm a lefty but never noticed an issue ....

I vape it all which ways in either hand.

The pressure of squonking would be against the thin door instead of the thick back, might cause a problem after a while.

 

[Izan]

I find the 2.1 front (door side) corners to be sharp compared to the rounded back corners. The Grand is a bit smothererer or maybe just a larger radius and so not so sharp.

To produce a "Lefty", a mirror REO might be just a few check boxes on the CNC screen. The only none compatible part would be the delrin.

I would buy a few OER's.

Thanks
