Rickajho had a very good point in another thread. Do we all wish to share how exactly we fill our juice bottle?
We may just pick up a tip or two........

I personally:
remove door
push lightly on the feed hose which causes the bottom of the bottle to slide out a bit so I can grab it
hold bottle cap with left hand and unscrew bottle with right hand
Lay the Grand on it's side so juice doesn't drain out of the hose into my mod
Fill the bottle about 90% of the way with juice
Wipe off bottle top and threads with toilet paper
Pick up the mod with my left hand, turn it back upright and immediately put the hose into the juice bottle
Screw bottle back on to the cap while holding the cap in my left hand
Push bottle gently back in to place
Replace door

I have a 30ml dripper top bottle with my unflavored liquid. I have a huge bottle of unflavored but fill the 30ml just to use to fill the reo. So I open the door. Pull the bottle out by the bottom. Unscrew. I do not need the bottle fully out to fill. I can leave the tube inside. So I just use the dripper and put the eliquid in the bottle. Usually no mess and no fuss.

I always pull my whole bottle with the hose and all. I also have other spare bottles with hoses so I can swap out one for the other easily.

Yep, extra tube and cap assemblies were my best secondary REO purchases. Juice switch can be done in one step (or two, if I'm out of the house, switch closed cap to a tube/cap, insert into REO). Dirty and empty assembly goes into a plastic baggie. But, I've got more Reos coming, so I'll just take two with me on the go then, lol! NO change outs needed.

I stole this idea from someone else, think it was Lisa.

I unscrew the bottle, but continue to hold onto the cap, turn Reo on side so tube is up.
Place bottle in Reo standing up and fill.

easier to take a pic.

well yeah, now I carry 2 reo's, and each has a 10ml bottle so I really never have to touch any bottles when I'm out and about anyway :)

I'm really lazy, I just take the door off and unscrew the bottle from the cap and while holding the Grand and bottle in one hand I squirt the juice in with the dripper end of an eliquid bottle stuck beside the hose in the bottle and when up to the point where the sides of the 6ml bottle narrow in stop and screw the bottle back on the cap. Easy peasy, just takes a little getting used to how to hold the Grand and unscrewed bottle with the hose still in it in one hand while filling from the dripper bottle in the other.

^^^ pretty much the same, but I use paper towels and put one under the tube to catch anything.

my 6ml bottle though has the mod, so after getting the bottle set up within fingers reach, I wedge my thumbnail between the cap and bottle to pop it off, and pop back on after refill.

I do it the same except I did the bottle mod on one of mine so far. I don't use my fingernail, I just grab the tip of the bottle and tilt and it pops right out. Everything else is the same.

Yep, pretty much exactly this. I actually arrived at this - the 'bottle-on, needle refill' - when needing to top up while (get this) roller blading. I didn't have a table or paper towels, and having myself mounted on devices meant to be in motion severely restricted my options. Perhaps it was out of pride (it worked!) or possibly due to laziness (hmmm) that I just adopted the technique full time.

this would work better! but I don't have a drill, so I had to cut off a part of the tip and gouge/grind out the PITA innards of the drip cap. took away some leverage, for sure.

Now THAT'S the type of tips and tricks I was hoping to garner when creating this thread. Thanks, Lisa and FilthyBeast. I will be trying that in about 6 hours.

It works great! I do the same thing. Found that filling multiple REO's at one time had me trying all different ways to do it.

This way works great if you are out and need a quick fill too. You don't need to find somewhere to set the bottle! Use the REO!

Thats a job my butler does. The footmen do my mixing.

Actually I have three bottles filled with my ADV (all day vape). I remove the cap off one of my filled bottles. I remove the battery and pull the bottle out of the Reo and hold the cap in my left hand and unscrew the bottle. I put the empty off to the side and lay the Grand down on its back then hold the tube up so any dripping will go into the cap. THen I just pick the Reo up and screw the filled bottle on.

That's how I used to do it. Then I tried Lisa method and found it just as easy and a little faster than dripping down the tube.

I do it this way, but I also blow into the atomizer to clear the tube of e-liquid before removing the bottle. Only necessary if you are switching flavors, which I do every time.

Karen and I were talking the other day about how we refill our bottles and realized we both use the same technique, just in slightly different ways. So I figured I'd take a picture and share with you what I have found to be immensely easy for me. Before beginning, it might help to make sure your bottle is ready to pour...so remove the cap, unless you can do it with one hand. My bottles are easy for me to remove the cap with one hand, so it's a non-issue for me.
Holding the Reo with the door off in my left hand, I pinch the cap & tube between my left thumb and forefinger after I've removed the bottle and placed it in the vacant space left by the bottle. Then I take the juice bottle (the big one) in my right hand and pour into the 6ml bottle. Screw the bottle back into place and away I go.

I don't drip down the tube, I just stuff the tip in between the tube and bottle and squeeze it in making sure to leave a little air room by pushing the tip against the tube or else it will puke some juice out.
