You might be waiting an excessively long time for that one... I think the only thing silicone to ever come out of Asia was cloned breast implants!!![emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
You right. They do sell a bunch of other type silicone bottles though. Never know. Maybe someone sends one to fasttech or wherever. Then we're buying 5 packs for $15.....

This is an indication you are squeezing the bottle way too hard. You obviously have an obstruction of some sorts between the bottle and the atty. Did you cut an inverted V in the end of your tube, like this, |^|?

Yeah, first thing I did was notch the tube. This is my first BF, so learning as I go. I received my Hadaly and I'm not having the same issues getting juice to feed as I did withe rda that came with it.

What bottle did it come with? Is it the one pictured a page back?

Looks a lot like the "FIB" - soft italian bottles - I'm hoping it's swappable for one of those...or who knows, maybe it'll soften up or maybe I'll just like it. Mine could show up any day/week now...

Can't be the same or similar material if it's holding folds and creased. You have FIBs so you can let us know Train2....

Holy cow, a $20 empty bottle....
Rob sells the super soft bottles on the Reos mods site, clearly not as fancy as the cappy but available and only $6 with the feed tube included.
I know. I almost caved last week. They really do look indestructible though. Watch super X drifter review on cappy v4. Short, less than 5 minutes. That video almost had me buying them. Design is great.

Yeah - FIB (Fancy Italian Bottle) was the name for those super softs you can get from Reosmods.
Though clearly, the Cappy is "fancier". lol.

I have ONE cappy and several FIBs.
The Cappy does not fit well in most of my mods - I think its a perfect fit in a CC or a Pinch, but I'm using Reos and Coppervapes (which have what I think is a perfectly nice bottle). It DOES fit in a P67. I'd be surprised if it fit in a Frankie, and frankly, I'm finding them harder to fill, as they cap/top seal is so secure...

The FIBS, for me, "seep" a little - not a leak, but requiring I wipe of the threads and "shoulder" when I refill - but for me, it's worth that for the softness compared to an original Reo bottle.

Anyway - the Frankie clone bottle LOOKS exactly like those FIBS you can get from Reos, and I'm hoping we can swap if that means a bottle improvement!

Whew. Lotsa bottle commentary.
Maybe pix?

    Replaced the bottle with 6ml soy sauce bottle used the metal cap and hose from the bottle that came with the mod, the firing button is much easier to press now and the squonking action is awesome.View attachment 625615
    Great idea for the bottle that comes with doesn't work that great and starts becoming square.
    Are you referring to a real soy sauce bottle?If so what brand or where do you get them?

    I could see the cappy being a bit too much bottle for the frankenskull, especially with that huge cap and the shelf the bottle sits on in the enclosure.
    Excellent info! Thanks very much!
