Unfortunately no.The bottles for the Athena have the tubing to attach to the pin,the luxotic uses a rod with a plastic connector,the bottle attaches to that connector and slides up on the tube.
Although,some people have cut the metal rod off to make a standard bottle like the Athena,fit the Luxotic,so it is doable,but not in stock form.
Thanks! Luxotic is not in my future then. And that’s ok. I’ve got enough.:vapor: I did pick up two athenas at vapenw a couple of months ago. They should satisfy any squonking I do.

Tha Athenas are great, sturdy little mech squonkers. Typical Geekvape good design

You're right. Mike Vapes has a "how to hack" video on his youtube home page that shows how to shorten the metal squonk tube on the Luxotic so you can use regular bottles with plastic tubing. I never bothered cause I like the original system fine.
I knew i had seen a video on it,but couldn't remember who it was that made it haha.I agree though,i haven't done it either.If all that was available was those hard plastic bottles,i would of done it,but i love these mods with the silicone bottle just as they are,so easy to fill and their silicone is just the right firmness for how i like them.

    I thought the silicone bottles for the luxotic were 8ml. -might be wrong. Also you can get clear ones - all mine are clear and they come with a sturdy stainless steel knurled ring around the top but no cap as you say.

    Anyone interested in bottles for the luxotic might want to watch this short vid on how to replace the stock bottle with the 7ml Arctic Dolphin silicone bottle. These bottles are available at @heavengiftscom . Other bottles like the Cappy R will fit as well, but not all according to the comments section.

    On the left is the stock harder plastic bottle that comes with the Luxotic and on the right is the updated silicone bottle that Wismec came up with after so many requests/ complaints

    The description says 7.5ml on vapenw, I will see if there is something on the box when I get it on Monday. fasttech does not have the clear with the ring in 7.5ml, but maybe I can find them elsewhere, not that it matters according to @b.m. ... But I really do not think I need 10 or 20 bottles, a 2 or 3-pack would probably suffice, but they do not have those at FT either. Of course for $3, I could just toss 7 away. lmao
    The plastic bottles don't have a cap on them.only the silicone ones do,since silicone is not hard like the plastic.
    Also,it's not really a cap as in,it doesn't seal the bottle up,it is more just a metal adapter to make the silicone bottle hold in the mod.It will screw off like a cap,but has that big hole in the center that isn't sealed up like a standard cap.
    Thanks man!

    I wonder if the 7ml will work in place of the 7.5ml, because fasttech has 7ml ones like that with the ring.

    I believe the smaller capacity is because of the metal fitting taking up some of the space. The black Luxotics come with that silicone bottle, a later release than the resin models.

    If Trump does announce a nationwide flavor ban next week, how long do you think it will be before it goes into effect? Immediately? And if there is a ban on all nic that is not tobacco or menthol flavored, that would probably include 100mg unflavored as it is not one of the 2 acceptable flavors, correct?

    I am asking because I am holding off until the last minute to grab 2 more liters to add to my 15.5L... I figure with 17.5L my wife and I will not need to start tapering down as soon, or to use for my unprepared son who says he will quit if there is a ban and cannot do it (he only vapes 6mg, not 18-20mg like us, if I taper him down pretty quickly to 3mg 2L would last him quite some time).

    My credit card is half melted at this point, it's hot to the touch, and was hoping to let it cool off for a month or two. lol. But I do not want to miss out on my last chance to get 2 more liters, just for comfort sake.
    I don't know about the unflavored. It depends how they word it I think it's absolutely asinine even above the whole asinine nature of this whole thing to mandate that you add something to a product to make it less desirable. I don't really think they understand that e-juice doesn't naturally taste like tobacco. They're acting like it's the same as with cigarettes when it's not to make a cigarette taste like tobacco you do absolutely nothing it's the natural flavor of the product but for e-juice to taste like tobacco you have to actually add a flavor to it to make it taste worse for most people anyway especially with their definition of what tobacco flavor is. They also don't seem to realize or care that tobacco flavor in E-Cigarettes is not usually from tobacco. This is the equivalent of the government mandating that you add a vomit flavor to alcohol to encourage people to not use it or mandating that when you go to the hospital and you end up on an IV morphine drip it has to have a component added to it that burns your vein so that it's an unpleasant experience to try to keep you from wanting to do Morphine as it was meant to be done in a hospital setting. Actually adding something as a deterrent for a product being used the way it was intended is unprecedented as far as I know. It's one thing for them to add netting to a pill so that people can't inject it as easily because that is not how you are intended to use that pill you're supposed to swallow it it's a whole different Beast to mandate adding a deterrent. Like for example Duster they add a bitterant because you're not supposed to inhale duster to get high but with e-juice it doesn't taste like tobacco it's not supposed to so they're literally punishing you for stopping smoking it is incredibly Insidious if they ban unflavored E juice
