Question for some of the older Reonauts.

[Miarose]

Mia- my right hand went completely numb a few years ago due to nerve damage. (yep, i was right-handed) my left hand has numb fingertips due to carpal tunnel. i don't think i have yet suffered arthritis, but thanks to the numbness, i may never know.

the only real tip i have for the 3 ml bottles is that the 6 ml in the grand are far, far easier.

i still have no idea what is wrong with my hands, but i've put off dealing wiht it for awhile, and its recently gotten much worse.
well... in a few days i will see i got a 18650 woodvil incoming.

I read some one say they put a little felt pad inside the reo behind the bottle. That way when you press the bottle it presses from the back side also. Seems like it would take less of a press with this. Haven't tried it myself and cant remember who posted it but it might be worth a try.

that is a great idea!

Don't put off health related concerns, if it bothers you, IMO, go see the doc!

Putting off health problems really affect the quality of life, and sometimes it's something simple that can be done to alleviate your problem!

Something I have noticed with the older bottles being softer, I think it because of finger nail taking off some of the plastic over time making the walls of the bottles a little thiner. Not sure if a person could maybe take sand paper and wear the bottle down a little, hmmmm maybe something to try over the next couple of days, I do have a pretty large supply of new bottle to experiment with!

I also think someone said that boiling worked for them, but only for a little while. Then the bottle got harder again.

I'd imagine these bottles are kind of like leather.... tough and stiff when new, but with repeated use, they get softer.

And here comes the comments now.

i actually cannot do that.. my doors will not go up. it hits the very bottom of my rm2's. it's like that in all my minis.

That's weird, both of my mini's clear the RM2.

The door on my OG mini does not clear the rm2 when pushed up. Which is sad cause I'm a compulsive door slider...

You can also tilt the Reo on it's side, slide the door up halfway, put your thumb on the bottle, then tilt upright. you can now squonk a bit easier and when you remove your thumb the door drops into place and the magnets grab it. with practice I can now slide the door up with my thumb without tilting.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this tip! Why can't I think of these little gems myself? I have hand strenth/intermittent pain issues myself. Combine that with thick, 100%VG juice, and yeah, hurty squirty. This works brilliantly! I now can squonk with little effort, even use my middle and ring fingers together for extra strength on my part.

As always, Reovillians ROCK! Only thing left is to wait for my button covers, to complete my "disabled-friendly" Reo!

You can add a drop or 2 of distilled water to the 100% VG and it will not change the juice taste or at least I cant tell a difference in taste and it makes squonking sooooooooooo much easier, I have been doing that for about a year as I vape DIY using RTS VG which is insanely thick!
