The o-ring in the top of the cap is supposed to be there, since the dropper tip is not used there would be a gap and it may leak. If you're referring to another o-ring being visble/loose, that may not be a good thing (lol) but I've never heard of it happening..
Your problem just sounds like a clog. Unscrew the bottle and blow into your atty. Replace bottle and squonk!

Like above said, the o-ring in the cap is needed.
Make sure the cap is on tight enough.
Make sure the end of the tube (in bottle) is not hitting the bottom or side of the bottle.
You can adjust the length by sliding the cap up or down on the tube with the bottle off.
If not that it might be time for a Vodka or PGA flush
You can either fill the catch cup and blow down through.
Or fill a 3ml bottle with it - install and flush up through with no atty on.
Let us know what you find.

Or you can skip the vodka/PGA and run it under hot water Take out the battery, take the atomizer off, unscrew the bottle, flush from the top til you see water running out of the tube. Blow through top. Wipe dry. That's what I do.

Still playing around with it, nothing yet..I didn't get any extra tubing or anything either, only thing I got with it is a small dab of noalax
You shouldn't need extra tubing. I had that happen when I got mine, the tube end was flush against the bottom of the bottle and had suction sealed against the bottle. I took the bottle out and pulled the cap up a little so that the tube would curve a little at the bottom of the bottle. (The bottle does not need to sit on the bottom of the REO). Solved the problem.
Can someone please take a picture of the o-ring on the cap so I can see how it should be? Looks like I have a leak out of the top... Tube is not plugged on bottom of bottle ;(
If you look at MX's photos of his woodvil http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...hotos-thread-post-yours-here.html#post2722854 you can see where the O ring sits inside the cap.
Tighten the bottle more. It really needs to mash up against the o-ring to form a good seal.
Ok, it appears based on MXs pics of the o ring that some of the o ring moved upward towards the top of the cap, readjusting it now, I have not taken the tube out or taken the cap out of it.

I understand
First off, Thanks for being there guys when I needed ya
Apparently, part of the O-ring got bunched up towards the tip of the cap and it must have broke the seal a bit and also plugged it up. Took a pair of tweezers, pulled the o-ring out and set it back in the cap like MXs pic...Vapes like a champ again, Woot Woot
Soooo, if that ring isn't lined up perfectly in the cap...this will happen..lesson learned
I need to get some O-rings for sure, seems the one in there may be a hair to big as when tighten it seems like it bunches up and looks misaligned, this may be normal idk.
Good news Matrix ....
Bing huh?
