Speaking of bottles...I saw this on FB Squonker page. They look interesting! No info yet on availability or ordering process. I am going to follow this and see how it develops. 8ml bottle with o ring in cap. Same size as Vapage bottle.

Here we go, now that things have settled down a little bit I would like to share this epic achievement.
The new 8.5ml bottles address the need for all squonkers to have a softer and bigger juice reservoir.
Together with my good friend Ruben Cattivelli, we decided to provide the ultimate bottle, conceived and designed for Bottom Feeding, rather than adapted to it.
9ml bottles do exist, and they are compatible with some devices, but unfortunately they were not "born" for squonking and bottom feeding, as they are prone to breaking being heat welded.
The first issue we addressed was to produce a super soft bottle, compatible with all BF devices, a bigger bottle sealed with no o-ring. This bottle should not be heat welded, but blown from the native mold.
We run into many obstacles, the biggest being the sealing of the cup with no o-ring, but Ruben has been top notch to include a flare in the bottle threads that serves like an o-ring; the final result was astonishing, with absolutely zero leaking even in the most extreme conditions.
The higher expense we incurred in producing this bottles was obviously the mold, we could not afford to fail (people familiar with molds production will know for sure how much does it cost to produce one) alas we would be forced to abort the project.
Ruben deserves all my appreciation for being able to follow my guidelines, and patient enough to support and tolerate me.
I may never be able to recover this insane expenditure (although I hope I would eheheh) but the desire to contribute to this crazy squonking world was way too big.
So here we are ladies & gents, all the tests are over, production is on-going and we should be ready in 10 days approx.
As usual I would like to thank You All for the support.
