o-ring

[Keesie]

Just go my mini and am thrilled to say the least. However, when filling up the juice bottle, the 0-ring came out. On trying to get it back in,(EXTREMELY slippery) it fell and bounced somewhere and I can't find it. I pmed Rob and he gave me the measurements so I can get a new one and even offered to send me a new one. I'll be going to the hardware store today but I'm not sure how to seat it in the cap. Does it go in the threading or further up closer to the small end of the cap? Any suggestions on a tool to use to get this done quickly? For now, I blew out the tubing and snugged up the bottle and it worked for awhile, now I have air bubbles again. I thought I'd try here with this question so I don't have to keep bothering Rob, obviously a very busy man. Thanks to all...

Hi Keesie. The o-ring goes further up, above the threads, and just below where the cap begins to taper off to a cone shape. You can use something small, like a tooth pick or dental pick to get it started. Then try screwing the bottle on even though the ring isn't in all the way yet. Screwing the bottle on should help get the ring in there all the way. Hope that helps.

Thanks so very much,CJLite. I found the oring, cats got it and put it on a book but no harm done. Cats are fine as I wiped it dry before any attempts at putting it back. Anyway, I tried the toothpick idea and got it started on the first threads and used the extra bottle to push it in place. Now I'm happily vaping once again without any air bubble problems that wouldn't allow the juice to come up the tube. What a wonderful group you all are. By the way, I just purchased another mini for a friend. Can't wait for it to arrive and watch her face as she takes her first vape!

Thank you for posting that Sterno. I'm gonna' add that link to the REO Measurements thread where it has the o-ring sizes. Thanks again.

Thanks again Sterno. Unfortunately, it wouldn't let me edit the post with the o-ring sizes. That's strange. I wonder if that's because it's a sticky thread or something. Too bad.

Woo-Hoo!

Glad it's on there back where it belongs, nice and snug. That's great you got a mini for your friend. Yeah, she'll be in for a surprise, won't she? Hehe.

Congratulations again, Keesie.

If you ever go to a hydraulics shop to get one or more of these o-rings tell them that you need a Hercules part number 568-012 for the grand and a 568-008 for the mini. These are kind of a standard part number that most every shop can recognize!

 

[CJLite]

Wow, there's a lot of good o-ring info in this thread. Thanks for the tip Prophetz.

i also have air bubbles going up the tube to the atty the oring is all the way up and bottle is on good and tight. so when i squonk it splatters out of the air slots in the atty cup. is that normal?

You will sometimes get air in the tube, especially if it turns upside down in your pocket or something and you have vaped enough juice that the lowest end of the tube is exposed to air...but that shouldn't matter- it self-corrects in no time. If you squonk and you're "splattering" out the air slots, you're squonking too much. You want to push (or squonk) gently enough that you barely see a glimmer of your juice out those air holes.

i get a little squonk happy and make a small pond of juice. so if i see one bubble pop in the air slots then thats enough squonk?

Hi Convict! Actually...you don't have to put that much juice in the reservoir. Just squeeze enough so it just peeks out the wholes in the atty connector. I often squeeze more than that because I like my vape to be wet. So my atty gurgles often and I'm running at just a hair under flooded. But that's just me.

I had a loose fitting 510 drip tip and the o-ring seems to be the culprit. I was told the smaller o-ring that goes in the mini would be a good fit- tried that but now that drip tip won't fit because the o-ring is too big... Just a heads up on the smaller o-ring for other Reo uses.

 

[Keesie]

Well, the continuing saga... I had the oring in the right place and after about 2 refills on the bottle it fell out again. This time, no luck getting it back in the cap. So, I had the bright idea of putting it on the bottle below the threads and guess what? It works well, except now it seems to be a self juicer. I'm using 100%vg but the juice still seems to just keep coming up even when it's just sitting the cup gets full. Not sure what to do about it but at least I'm getting juice. Thanks to all.

 

[pianoguy]

Hmmmm, if the o-ring is falling out, I'd replace it - perhaps it is a size too small.
