I got a couple of those. I like much about them but come the cold, I wonder if my 80/20 VG/PG juice will move up and down the feed tube. They are very squishy.

They are available made from both silicone and PE, so maybe the PE would work better for those in the cold winter areas.

Silicone will not be a problem for me, an advantage of living where it averages out to being like endless summer 365. I wear shirt sleeves, shorts and sandals (only when I go to town) year-round here. Don't even own a coat or long pants anymore. That after living near half my life in the deep snow frozen north. So even sometimes having near freezing temps for short periods the cold doesn't bother me, and I tolerate the 120's in the shade summers. ;)

Supposedly part of the long lost purchase of 8/25 (that includes the bottles for the P67's) has finally been shipped today (9/15). But I'll only believe it IF Package #1 ever shows up here. It has been 3 weeks so far... and the remaining items that were supposedly in stock when I paid for them but were not are not due to be back in stock for another week plus, then however long it takes them to actually ship them and how long until they are cleared to actually start on the way to the US.

I didn't really need any of this stuff, including the silly bottles for the P67's. So I got what I deserved for buying anything from this Hong Kong based company again. This was the third time in 4.5 years I've bought anything from them, for good reason (the first two times nearly 4.5 years ago). This will be the last time.

Three strikes they're out... :evil::evil::evil:

So, after 30 days I have finally received those silicone bottles for the Reo P67's from Hong Kong.
A bottom line suggestion to all... if you do order some of these bottles, DO NOT buy the silicone version, get the PE version. The silicone version is so soft that it easily collapses and will not draw any excess squonked liquid back into the bottle.
(With the super low ohm monster coils I run any standing joose in the atty will cook and degrade.)

My bottom line... third time in 4.5 years was the charm. With the extremely poor customer service the two times 4.5 years ago and again this time I'll never buy anything from HalfAssedTech again.

I really, really like them -- LOVE them. I wish they had smaller ones that would fit into some of our Minis and 2.1s. @Spydro, you and I have waaaaay different vaping styles, but for MY style of vaping (MTL and just barely sub-ohm) they are perfect. I've changed over all my 18650 REOs to these. I posted about these in the Vape Mail thread because I saw a pic of these over there, but then I saw that you had finally received yours and posted about them here.

They are very soft. The secret (for me) has been to just barely, barely squonk....almost no pressure. The first few hours when I was getting used to the light touch, I'd watch the air bubbles go up and back down the tube. I was amazed at how light my touch needed to be. Honestly, it felt like I just had to think squonk and it squonked. LOL. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Also, the PEI version listed as an option on the FT site is not the same bottle only a different material. If you click on that option, check out the picture that pops up. Different bottles altogether. Just be careful that you are ordering what you want.

Good observation. I was going to say the same thing. When I went to the site and changed the dropdown to PE bottle, the picture changed from the one Spydro has to what looks like the Italian soft squonk bottle. Is that really what the PE bottle looks like or do they look like Spydro's picture?

I love the silicon bottles, so wasn't tempted to see. I'm betting they are two entirely different bottles.

Same here, would love them for the mini. I think it helps for me that my juice is 75pg, so for me it drains great. Thanks for turning me on to them. :)

I bought mine from 3fvape and received them in a week through china mail. The silicone is very soft and takes some getting use to. It drains fine for me and I am using 70 VG. The tubing that comes with the bottle drains faster than other tubing I have had.

I had to use the search phrase "YFTK Replacement Dropper Bottle for SVA 75W Style BF Squonk Box Mod" to get to the bottle. The drop down menu did not show it.

I found them a couple of different ways, but the one that you used makes the most sense in that YFTK is who makes these for that specific mod.

So I have been using 3 of the 5 I bought for about 9 days or so now. While I can see why some folks probably really like them, the one dislike I have with using them is refilling them. With the amount of joose my builds and vaping style goes through, that need of having to constantly refill these flimsy bottles is not a small matter.

I don’t have any of the silicone bottles, yet. I have a 5 pack coming from Notsofasttech on the way, to try.
Currently, I use the soft bottles from REO, which I refill by pulling the tube, rather than taking the bottle off, and leaving the cap and tube in the mod. I’m thinking maybe it’s better to refill the silicone bottles by taking the bottle off the cap?

Not IMO with man sized hands/fingers. Threading on and tightening the cap with the system still in the Reo is a chore for me that always ends up with some joose where it doesn't belong. IOW, the caps lower trap ring is so small I compress the bottle enough to push some liquid out between the cap halves before I can get it threaded together, let along snug enough not to leak. So I pull the tube, cap and bottle all the way out together. That is also a PITA as the tube is so much tighter than the Reo tubes that I have to use small nose pliers to get the tube back on. Maybe they'll loosen up in time, maybe not. Doubt I'll find out as pulling just the bottle with the Reo bottles is a piece of cake in comparison. I have no problem squonking them, so I'll most likely stay with them in my Reos.
