@Doffy No, haven't heard this tip before – sounds good. I'll look around the online shops where I can find one.
The most important thing to do is keep the button hole/button/battery and the bottom of the battery hole clean. This is the number 1 2 3 4 and 5 reasons the button is harder to fire, you can overcome a little bit of the Ned to clean it by smashing on the button, but all that really does is make you think it's hard to press. It's usually just dirty. You can run a small magnet on the battery, I don't recommend that, instead I would just press the fire button with no battery installed. NOT HARD Just enough to bend the bar down a little bit, too far and it will auto fire, but that will make it shorter/easier. BUT, Keeping it clean is the number one way. Shoot me a pm alot an email any time, I'll do whatever you need to get you taken care of. Keping the bottom of the battery hole shinny, (no black dot in the bottom ) will make all the difference in the world.

This calls for fancy, new Italian squonk bottles.

Soft as can be.
Durable.
Nearly leak proof.
8.5ml
Squonk better and easier than all previous bottles.

You really like those bottles huh? Maybe I'll order them and ship all of these with them, are they in short supply at all or are they easy to get price?
I'd like to get them without the Caps,

I'm assuming everyone would rather have delrin caps than aluminum yes?

I can make them, but if I don't have too them I'm good with that too, what's everyone think?

I have 10 or 12 done, this is how I'm doing it:

They are available in USMC RED, ARMOR BLACK, BRUSHED OR MEDIA BLASTED FINISH, $350 plus paypal .

If you want any other color it's fifty bucks for cerakote, red and black are free.

I'll have pics of the colors as soon as I get to the shop, I have a Dr's apt in an hour or so.

First 12 will ship this upcoming week.

Just hit the market.

Most people ordered the 200 batch or more to get the better price.

I believe the maker is OOS currently. BUT! As long as he keeps his shiz together they should be around for a looooong time.

These are quickly becoming the industry standard even though the first batch just hit the market within the last week or two.

You may decide to keep the SS caps. The threading seems to be proprietary?!?!

I would suggest if anything, put a texture onto the caps you receive to make them easier to grip and turn for arthritic hands and such. I'm fine with it, but given arthritic joints and some stray juice, I could see an issue for some.

The hose is even different. It's metric and thin walled. Has a larger I.D. and a smaller O.D. than we're used to. Makes it much more flexible and a shiz load easier to squonk from a hydraulic back pressure standpoint. This is where the softer bottle really shines and becomes useful.

Rudy introduced us to them over in the CC thread.

Rossum just did a Co-op and they sold out over night.

There's a big thread over in Reoville.

You can get more info than I can recall from there. And see pricing from the Co-Op.

I believe the per bottle is around $6.00 before bulk discounts and such... and WELL worth it.

One thing I would suggest is to purchase a length of 2mm id X 4 mm od silicone tubing. The bottles come with tubing cut to length but due to the aggressive angle each end is cut, you'll have some that are a bit shorter than others once they're cut square for use. Maybe too short. I actually have some tubing on order for that very reason.

I have a couple retailers that are selling these in my inbox. I'll message you those links shortly.

Can you share the source for that tubing?

Ha!

Just linked it over in the Co-Op thread for you.

But if you're just putting a bottle in a mod or two I wouldn't worry about it until I installed the bottles and confirmed I needed it.

If I were doing production and sales of mods, I'd make sure I had some tubing on hand.

Tbev, glad you're feeling better, I love the new models & engraving options available... as for those Italian bottles, CH just bought 30 for $175 shipped by DHL, personally I haven't had any problems with the current bottles, they're plenty soft and don't leak unless over-tightened.

...
Can anyone ( @Tbev ?) help me out on this one. My mod collects dust; I'm hesitating to use it because it's such an effort for me to press the button down. The shorter black button already made my live a little bit easier, bending the spring, too. But there must be something else I can do (or buy). Help, please.

IIRC a couple months ago someone here mentioned using O-rings on the button to shorten the throw, I found this to be an easy solution since I have a large collection of them. Remove the button from the top and slide the O-Ring down to the base of the button, replace & test... problem solved without bending the Copper bar, and eliminates the need for a magnet in most cases.
