I have a concern with my new IGO-BF

[Cliven]

I just got this today (IGO-BF) and checked it out. The cap doesn't screw on like the RM2, it just gets pushed on over a small O-ring. After placing it on my REO, it seems like it is almost wobbly (the cap) and that any brush against it would allow it to come off. Anyone have any experience with this rba on the REO? Does it leak and do you have any issues with the cap coming off?

I still can't wait to try it out....

Thanks.

My cap dpesn't fit as tight as others I have like the ERA's so I don't use it for the purse Reo, i just use the RM2 for that. I have been concerned that it could come off as well.

The base should have 2 o rings on it. When I first got mine I wasn't pushing the cap down on the base fully. After I did it is very secure. If you find that yours is not; the situation can be remedied by replacing the o rings with a slightly fatter one. Available at home improvement stores etc.

Mine moves a little, nothing to worry about. It's never come off without me taking it off. It has ridden in jeans and jacket pockets and inside a messy laptop bag.

Thanks. I checked it out and yes, there are 2 o-rings. The cap is pushed down over both but still doesn't feel tight. I may have to try a fatter o-ring for the upper one.

I think I also read of someone adding some dental floss in the channel under the o-rings to make the top tighter.

I am so glad you posted this!!! I knew there was a fix but couldn't remember what it was. I tried fatter O rings (1.5 i think) that I got from Rob for under the RM2 but those are way to fat.

There is a o ring at the base you can see it when you push the cap down remove the o ring and you wont have any wobble

Thanks Rob I discovered this when I got mine. I pulled the lower ring and it was a lot better.
