so this girl wants to try a chibi. is it REALLY easy... and reusable? I try not to break things :)

Sister, I break stuff. No, really...I break LOTS OF STUFF. I haven't broken a Chibi. You need to needle fill it...so if you've never dealt with needles, you gonna have to learn, but it's easy peasy. I can make you a video if you need one. :)

I've found an alternative to sticking the needle next to the carto and possibly breaking off pieces of the grommet into the tank. I use a letter opener (any thing that's thin and has a pointed but blunt tip is fine) and slide it between the grommet and the tank so that there's a small gap. make sure that the grommet is completely separated from the tank. You can then slide the needle into the gap and pull out the opener (or whatever instrument you're using). No more touching the rubber with the needle. I know it sounds like it's a little unnecessary and a little complicated but once you get the hang of it, it's really fast and easy and will insure that you never get any rubber in your juice:thumb:

and yup.. just like that i ordered 7 more Chibi's...

5 for me and 2 for my friend.
Im coverting to Chibi's + my Reo Mini

no more dripping for me =)

I found a way to not get rubber in it too, kinda following the "poke through the outside of the grommet" method.
i slide the 18(?) gauge needle and kinda press it against the tube and "roll" it down into the tank itself

======== grommet
insert needle and roll downwards
======== grommet

works well for me
