I had some technical difficulties last night with C4.

When I got home from work(finally!) I needed to refill and swap in a fresh battery.
Simple, right?
Pull the top, unscrew bottle, fill bottle, screw bottle back on.
Pull drained battery, place on charger. Insert fresh battery.
Insert top assembly to body.

Why won't my top go on?:confused:
I can't get it to sit flush!:-x
What's going on? Did I break it? That can't be!
Try again...nope, still won't go together.:grr:
What the hell did I do?!:shock:

Inspecting everything....take a breath...I'll figure thi.....hey.....why do I see bright green in my squonk hole? Is...is...is that my battery?:eek:
Classic case of "I got carried away in the moment and put it in the wrong hole"
Hopefully C4 will forgive you:sneaky:.....:lol:

Thanks for checking in, buddy.
I know someday I'll have to deal the same thing. Not looking forward to it.
Me, too. My father's 81. But lost my mom 3 years ago. I can empathize with you, Bob.

Got some more info-
They are being made in Italy and will be available 10/31/15. Excerpt from Squonkers page:
Please note - not trying to promote a product here on Corey's turf but simply informing those out there with an interest.

Post-

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.

Antonio
I shall buy the lot should I have the information at the proper time.

Please do keep us informed about these bottles.

How low can you go!?

Had to trim the feed tube so the bottle didn't bottom out. Can't go any lower than this, but I don't mind the small gap since the Thump can get a little hot at times.

I sent a FB message to the vendor asking for more information. I told him I was an ECF member in the USA and relaying information about his bottles. I would imagine if he is worried about selling his product to cover his costs that he would have an interest in opening the USA market! That being said I'm waiting for a response and will keep you posted!:toast:

Just stepped out for my second vape with C4. I've mentioned before that I got the Thump just for my CC. In the meantime, I tried it here and there on my REOs. I suspect it's from a lower voltage drop of the CC, but the Thump is singing like a champ all of a sudden, almost like a whole new atty! The Thump wasn't great on a Grand, but a little better on my 2015 Woodvil. When I got CC, I took the Thump off the Woodvil and right to the CC, just dry-burned & re-wicked. Night and day difference. I'm curious to see what C4 will do to one of my Vectors!
Yep...

The grand needs a very simple modification for voltage drop.

Needs a positive contact with more surface area and a negative with no joints, just pure contact.

I'd definitely like to try out some new bottles. My bottle on my CC is already going bad. Funny, I've got a Vapage bottle on another mod that I've been using for many months and still works without leaks or thread problems. This one is one of the others that just didn't hold up. It refused to squonk and popped the top and tried it out of the CC and it was leaking air around the cap. Being at work, I wasn't about to be without my mod, so I wrapped the bottle threads with Teflon tape and good to go!

I took my old little o rings that came with the REO mini (3ml) bottles and put in in the Vapage cap. It fits perfectly around the little indentation where the hole is drilled out, seems to provide a little more cushion and top seal when you screw the bottle back in.:thumb:
