Need help with my new Reo Mini! :(

[Marymary]

I am new to this site, and can't post in the reo mini forum.
I can't get the juice to feed onto the atomizer!! I keep getting the burnt atty taste.. I am using a 510 LR atomizer and Ms T's juice. It isn't overly thick and it's not straight VG juice.

I blew out the atty and primed it with some of my juice and it tasted just fine then, I know it's not the atomizer.

Not sure what to do.. If I squeeze REALLY hard a little will come for me.. but I have to take off the cover to do that and it's a pain. It should be easier then this.. what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!!

the one time i had that issue with my reo is the cap was not screwed on tight enough and there was not a good seal so the feed was not working right, other than that, as long as the cap is all the way on, and the o-rring is in place, i don't see what the issue could be. even 100% vg juice i get to feed no problem into all my LR attys. you don't have the reducer tube in or anything like that do you?

Not sure what it could be, I would try a different atomizer or try a cartomizer if you have one. Or is the feeder tube being pinched by something? If all else fails, email Rob, I'm sure he'll take care of it for you.

you shouldnt have to squeeze that hard. the juice should just pool into the resevoir and then sucked up by the atty. did you by change attach the extra tubing that came with it? if you did this is only used when using straight pg or very thin liquid as it tends to flood the reservoir. thats the only thing i can think of. if you have any more details let me know

I have noticed on my mini, if it is cold, it is harder to squeeze the bottle to get the juice to flow. You can squeeze it until you see a little juice come out into the cup (where your atty screws in). Try taking a few pulls without activating the atty to prime the wick, then activate the atty, this may help with the atty being dry.
Several people spoke about rolling the bottle in their hands to sort of soften it up, that may also help you, and one mentioned finding a soft spot on the bottle and keeping that at the front of the mini so it would be easier to squeeze. Say hi or welcome some other new members to get your 5 beginner posts, and then go to the REO forum for lots of help from more experienced REO users than me, I just got my REO last week, but I love it!!

The O ring! It was just floating around so I thought it was an extra piece for something.. Where is that supposed to go? up in the cap or around the bottle? Thank you!

Make sure the feeder tube isn't stuck on the bottom of the bottle. If that's happened, you're not going to get much if any juice feeding because the tube just sucks on the bottom of the bottle rather than getting juice. It's an easy fix, just pull the bottle down a mm or so, so the tube slides out a bit. You want just a little bit of a bend in the tube at the top with the bottle resting on the bottom of the housing.

THANK YOU! It's up and running now
Should have done what you all were saying in the reo forum and bought some low nic juice.. too late!
The O-ring was the culprit. While trying to adjust it the darn thing flung across the room.. spent 20 minutes trying to find it. Little booger.
I am a happy camper. !

You only have two more posts to go till you can post in the REO thread, go ahead and just get it over with now! Next time you won't have to look elsewhere for an answer, you can go straight to the source.
I'm hoping to be ordering a new REO Grand this coming Sunday, I've already ordered the batteries, and attys, just waiting patiently for them to get in stock.
