my biggest gripe - bottle seal

[Haps]

It's been a wonderful 3 months with my REO. Except fiddling with the damn bottle. Squonk... Dry hit... Squonk longer... Dry hit.

What's going on ? Oh of course the stupid o ring is messed up. Fiddle with bottle twenty times and then it's good for a little bit. An hour later start process.

If it wasn't for this little annoyance I'd be totally happy

I've found that only happens if I've got the bottle screwed on too tight. Try backing it off a little bit to just snug and see how it works for you.

 

[vengaman]

when it occasionally fouls up on me, I remove the bottle and the cap from the tube. lever out the o-ring, wash the cap n ring down, dry it and reassemble (with a tiny drop of juice to lube it up).

use a mini screwdriver to snug the o-ring back into a nice position.

but yeah the occasional overtighten has a way of causing this.

 

[Rickajho]

Yup - sounds like overzealous screwing. I did that with my first Reo too, mashing the o-ring up into the cap. The instinctive reaction is to screw the bottle on even tighter, which only makes things worse. It seems to be a bigger problem (at least for me) with the 3 ml bottle in the Mini's.

Oh no, you didn't just go there

That thread just completely made my night

Reoville has been most saucy today!

I didn't get past the first post and thought Bottle Mod. Do this OP and your gonna be very happy. No more cap to worry about equals vaping bliss.

 

[Haps]

I've looked at bottle mod. But haven't been able to find a snap top that fits on the 6ml bottle.

Of course I could be doing something wrong. But that thread isn't very informative.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

The spare Reo bottle that ships with it comes with one.

Oh, that thread is very informative

You drill a 11/64 hole in the drip top of the bottle and side the tube through, you do not use a cap or o ring.

So replace the cap and tube on the left with the cap top on the right.

Think about what's been backspaced

 

[Haps]

Hmm. Will have to see where I put it. But thank you

 

[Suchtie]

Nice Tip - thank's

I haven't used the bottle mod (yet), but just as an aside, some juices are known to distort the o-ring over time, so that could be a problem as well, although the bottle mod should solve the problem either way.

So true. My Cinnamon practically dissolves o-rings within a week or so. Admittedly I can't replace a ring if my life depended on it. Quite frankly I really don't believe anyone who says its a piece of cake and love to meet one that's says it is. The fact is as ancient puffer said it depends on the juice being used. I don't doubt that some folks never need to replace one and its only because of the e-juice they use.
