Lingering smell on Reo Mini casing

[sjoat]

Feeling the itch again, so I've rescued my Reo Mini from the closet. The thing is, it smells horribly like the last juice I used maybe 5 months ago (butterscotch from COV). Thoroughly rinsing under a warm tap doesn't help.

I'm thinking about fully immersing it in a glass of vodka overnight. I've read that vinegar and lemon juice might also help. Which should I try first?

What the heck was your REO mini doing in the closet for 5 months ..... Eeeeek 8-o

I would think a good soak in vodka should do the trick.

Combination of the tube slipping off the thing and zero $. Still haven't fixed the tube, my fingers suck.

If you have the tube and cap new your best bet would be to just replace it. Perhaps if you can get help from a friend to get the new tube on?
If you can't do it a trip to Robert would have it like new.

All the mods have heavier tubing now very easy to install .I have made the opening for the tube a little larger a 1/4 drill bit does the trick.
You can send the mod in a padded envelope for a $1.60 I would be happy to do it for you pay the postage both ways I will do the repair

Thanks redeyedancer! I would if I was in USA..

To clarify: the tube didn't "slip off" - it had a slight tear (and was leaking) so I took it off so that I could put the torn end inside the juice bottle.

Cheers

I see I am guessing it is one of the older thinner tubes . This is why I went to a heavier tube .I wish I was closer I feel for you folks over seas. Pm me when your ready to order a new tube and cap we can find a cheaper shipping method
