A note of caution when flying with a RM2......

Needed and Noted!

The trick is to only half fill the bottle.

buy higher nic juice for plane flights = fewer puffs

Yes, I switch to an empty bottle before boarding and drip while on board. I've also read that loosening the bottle works but you'd have to make sure it stays upright.

 

Could you board the plane with no bottle in the grand then when you reach cruising altitude screw your bottle on.

 

i'm so completely blown away that someone used a Reo for over two years without squonking that


ETA: ... apparently i cannot complete a sentence.

 

just loosen the bottle off a little so it can breathe and you won't have any issues

 

Yes, this happened to me with my Woodvil--filled my pocket with juice. What a mess.
Thus, when another REOnaut eventually came aboard with a question about flying with a REO, I repeated my tale and suggested that the REO bottle be half-full to prevent the flooding episode.
Well...one of the REO gurus here stated that I was mistaken and that since it is the air that expands and pressurizes the bottle at altitude, a partially -filled bottle will be more likely to auto-feed than a full bottle.
It makes sense. I have not had the chance to test this theory. I'm just saying.

 

EXACTLY what Justice ^^^ said. I fly for a living also...just unscrew your juice cap a little but make sure you keep your reo upright. Problem solved.

 

Only time mine has leaked, it wasn't upright. I either put it in the seat pocket standing up, or adjust it after I sit down so the drip tip points up. I have done this from full to almost empty.

 

Yes you could but would also have to take it off or loosen it for landing. Pressure increases as you decend. Drink a water bottle on board seal it and then land, the bottle will be partially crushed since outside air pressure is higher on the ground than in the air.

Yes, physics would support this, but I have not been brave enough to try it. Any micro bubble in the juice would expand and not sure how much of an affect this would have. Kind like why divers cannot fly right after diving, the micro bubbles in their blood would expand as they ascended.

 

This is also a problem with clearomizers, carto tanks, or rebuildable tank atomizers--any tank/bottle where the air pressure in the tank can't equalize with that outside without expanding. On a REO, loosening the bottle cap should allow that. On other tanks/RBAs with top fill holes, unplugging/opening the fill port can do it. As with those, you'll then need to keep the REO upright until you get to altitude.

 

This reduced air pressure is also the reason why we fart more when at altitude on airplanes. /science Why Do We Fart More on Planes? - YouTube
