Hello Reonauts! Lately my Reo hasn't been manually squonking. I took my RM2 off to see if there was something blocking the juice from getting through the atty, but juice won't even get up to the connection. I can blind squonk every time, no problem. I took off the bottle I was using and put on a new one and it worked for a while, but now I'm out of bottles. I blew through both ends of delivery system and air flows freely. Any ideas on this one? I'm thinking it's the o-ring on the 'bottle cap'.
Reo Grand- squonking help!

Make sure the bottom of the tube isnt sealing itself on the bottom of the bottle.
Is the tube getting stuck on the bottom of the bottle and being blocked? If so, is the bottle slid all the way down so it's sitting on the bottom of the mod? If so, you may need to trim a 1/16" or so off the bottom of the tube.
Holy crap, you guys are fast! And accurate! Tube was touching the base of the bottle, sure enough. Thanks for all your help! I'm not sure how it got to be that way though as I've had the Reo for about 3 months now and its the same tube and everything.
To help alleviate that problem, you can cut an inverted "V" in the bottom of the tube, or just cut one side off about an 1/8" up from the bottom...creates an inverted "U". That way, you don't need to shorten the tube, and it will never vacuum itself to the bottom or side of the bottle. 
Question asked at 10:19 three right answers in as many minutes. Why do I like this forum? Because of people like these. +1 on cutting the v notch in the bottom as per RF, I did that first thing when I got mine.
