Hope you finally tossed that skanky old syringe! If it's true Iuer lock my needles should have attached right to the bottles.

Your 18ga works on these bottles but I wasn't sure so I bought a couple from RTD they're cheap. Your needles are red. I measured yours and the pink ones and they are both 1.25mm OD. the ID looks the same but I'll try the reds and see if it squirts any better...but the pinks aren't bad.

It's red because it's a blunt tipped fill only needle. Red as in stop don't ever try to inject anyone with this. Usually 18 is green. It shouldn't matter if it's 18, 20 or 24... It's a universal fitting, the Luer Lock. If it's working well, leave it be!

Truthfully, I thought I had something other than Luer Lock and didn't even look. I assumed they did not fit. If the needles cost $5 apiece I probably would have been more motivated to double check. I noticed your red ones have a slant on the end. The pink one is squared off.

ever had a bad Reo purchase ?? ;)

Once. Rob's Mother handles all of the packaging and shipping for Reos mods, and Rob admits she's getting up there in years. Once she forgot to include an RM2 in a package I had coming in. Rob apologized, shipped one in free of charge and said he would not scold his mom, because after all, she's Mom :2cool:

    This might be just my personal gripe on gear...if the authentics sold at a more reasonable price, more people would be willing to buy it. This would make them MORE MONEY in the long run. It would also knock out the clones, or cut them down quite a bit. Don't shoot the messenger please...lol.
    P.S. The Lemo/Lemo Drop is a PERFECT example of this.

    If the authentics thought they would make more money in the long run by lowering their price they would have done it. Right? :)

    if the chinese can produce the mass volume.... why cant the makers of the authentics? they can outsource just as easily ..

    For starters, I have dealt with US manufacturers and Chinese manufacturers. You can scream as loud as you want and many of these Chinese manufacturers still don't get the message and they ship crap. Second, the price is largely determined by what the market will bear. They have determined that pricing an atty at $180 is how they can maximize their profits. I wont pay $180 but there are plenty who will...apparently. If people refuse to pay the $180, they will lower their prices...guaranteed.
