When I started vaping only the reo was available as a squonker."It was the first commercially available squonker" is incorrect @Christos.
As I've posted here before, the first commercially available squonker was offered in 2009 before the Reos. It was a poor design with a problematic internal atty and the maker couldn't back it up with production, or with all those that had to be sent in for repair, etc. So it was short lived.
The Reo is the first commercially successful sqounker that Robert came up with later, first shipped in early 2010 IIRC.
I suggested to the inquirer to do some research to see how long reos have been around.
Thanks for clearing that up @Spydro.
I will update my post accordingly.
