Well I finally think I found a solution I CAN DO to the O-ring juice cap that swells an pops out every month. Yeah I know replacing a ring in a cap is kids stuff to all of you but with my hands and fingers it's like catching a greased pig. So that not being a solution I have 3 options.

1) Use a less corrosive juice and not enjoy my ADV Lava juice....NEVER!!!

2) Keep buying 6ml bottle kits at $4 a pop (which 3 more were order a couple of days ago:facepalm:) Btw I spent enough $$ on these in the last year or so to buy a couple REOs.:glare:

3) Use the snap cap that Rob so kindly sent me (and which I made several myself). Nope! Using it again requires hands and fingers working normally. Popping bottles on and off is a messy PITA.


Then this morning when I thought I'd give the snap cap another try on my down REO....the clouds opened up and the sweet sound of God's voice said "Hey, stupid ...." (God and I are tight and we can talk like that) then he said "Just slide the snap cap and bottle almost all the way to the end of the tube so it is no longer in the confines of REO insides. Now you can easily unsnap the bottle then fill it, and snap it back on. Now slide it all back up the tube."

Well I think it was God's voice directing me...or maybe Rob's voice in my head via Telepathy....then again maybe DW nagging voice after seeing me spilling juice everywhere and growling, swearing and throwing a hissy fit.

of that I can not be sure. What I am sure of is NO MORE 6ML BOTTLE CAP KITS!! Sorry Rob. You'll just need to finance that new deck you wanted by selling more REOs. :lol:

A reo bottle is the least of your worries!

When God and advertising mix you get stuff like this.. Samson: 'God - why, oh why did you put all my strength in my hair?'
God: 'because you're worth it'.

I just buy one size smaller o-ring and it swells to fit! Not many things you can say that for in this day and age!

I am glad the light went off buddy I wasn't going to push you on it :)

I know.:) it only dawned on me when I started to slide the snap on cap on the tube that maybe this could work. So I left in on the end and snap a empty bottle to see if it would be easy also could it be slid up all the way with a bottle attached...yep it could.:facepalm::blush:

LOL, just went through that exercise this weekend. Finally grabbed another o-ring and got the job done. Good thing I had another REO around during this task cuz I couldn't have gone through that torture without some nicotine.

I've never heard of the snap cap. Got any pictures or additional info you could share?

This pic shows both types of caps on the tube. The snap cap is nothing more than a modified top of a small juice bottle. Btw was it easy for you to replace you o-ring?

Once I got the new o-ring it was only a matter of minutes. Big fat fingers ya know.

So, are you still using an o-ring even with the snap cap? Kinda looks like that in the photo.

He did what they call the bottle mod. He doesn't use the screw on cap anymore. You just use the nipple top that snaps onto the bottle...
