Bottle Nipple Mod

[Spydro]

As usual I had way too much time on my hands in the wee's this morning, so I drilled out a Reo 6mm bottle nipple for the feed tube to try this mod vs the cap/o-ring. Like the fuse mods I have 50 sets of parts for unused, some brass doors to patina that I never did, the square bottle mods 24 soy bottles also unsed... this one is also not for me. I don't drop springs (have a supply of them if one did), the doors were just a whim, the original size bottles work good enough and so do their caps/o-rings.

Rob saw the light while he was designing the Reos, I see it now too.

When I ran the 6ml bottles I used the bottle mod method as it was much easier to change out the bottle. Just snap the nipple off the bottle, fill, and snap back into place... It certainly wasn't or isn't for everyone...

I've never tried it. Too lazy, I guess, to bother. I've never had a problem with the original cap & O ring method, other than when I first started. I used to think I had to snug up the bottle real tight, and would buckle the O ring. Just enough to make contact is all that's necessary. I haven't even needed to change an o ring in ages.

Just the opposite for me Muz. I find it way easier with the cap/o-ring, maybe because that's what I've done for a year and a half and have the routine down pat.

Isn't it a pain trying to get the nipple off the bottle?

My motto:- If it ain't broke don't fix it!
Never had a single problem with the standard setup. It works. Easy to refill just unscrew the bottle, no leaks. Simple and effective. I am still using the same bottle, cap and O ring that came with my grand in April last year. I did look at the larger Italian bottles, but I don't need the extra capacity as I only use about 3ml over 24 hours. Battery change and fill up every 48 hours is just about as hassle free as it gets.

They just snap apart like snapping a twig in half... Very easy to do.
