I'm a waterfront girl.. fishermen are worse than truckers.. it takes quite a bit to make me blush, but thanks for trying!

I enjoyed that thread.. I love the group in Reoville. have plenty of bottles around, will give it a try!

The twist on bottle caps are a pain... Which is why I don't use them. Take the insert tip for your bottle that came with them, lop the top off JUST enough to squeeze the tubing through, disconnect the tube from the nipple... And... Look. I'm not going to start THIS again. Lol here's a link to the highly raunchy but informative thread lol

I just read that thread, and this is another reason why I think being a reonaut is great! no flaming or bashing, if you're in, get dirty. If not, we just shut the H up. Thanks again to everybody for introducing me to reos and making me part of this community here! Time for a shower after all that dirty stuff I've read!

I figured that was the answer and since I have vape mail coming your problems can help me learn as well......lol

this right here

If I am driving or working and I can't look when I squonk. I turn the air hole side down and gently take a drag as I squonk. When u hear the juice you are good to go.

is the answer i was going to give you... this is also how i check to see if i need to squonk, if it has a slight gurgle no squonk... probably good for 2 more pulls then check again... youll get it, its not hard to figure out...

my nano set up on sweetness seems to be rather soaked, most of the time...

think i might torture myself and give it a good squonk get it nice and good, then see how many pulls i can get before the cotton burns... i think i was averaging 3 or so pulls on the micro, but squonked every two, 3 if i forgot... i dont think the nano needs as much, there is more cotton, but the taste is wildly different

Solace, here's something else I noticed when I got my Grand after using minis for a long time. You need to squonk the bigger bottle just a touch longer. The tube is longer and takes more time to get juice up it to the atty.

Don't know if anyone else said this, because I didn't read the whole thread. Just making a last quick post before bed.

I had similar problems with the squonking first day, but being too hard wasn't my problem, it was that I over tightened the cap on the bottle, causing air to bypass the threads on the cap, which then didn't let me get juice to the rm2 when I would squonk.

Once I had the cap tightened properly (not too tight or lose, but jjjjjuuuuussssttttt right), squonking the bottle became much easier, because I didn't have to try to put my thumb through the back of my REO to get freshly squozen juice flowing.

How did the term freshly squozen get by here without comment ? Love it!

I did the cap mod for the squonk tube but I forgot that a while ago I cut a piece of tubing from the tube that comes with some of the big syringes which has a thinner wall to it.. the outside diameter is the same just the id diameter is larger and it fits good on the squonk tube without having to use tweezers or needlenose pliers to push it on..., yeah and I didn't realise I was using it.. doh :D

I don't worry about cleaning the squonk tube between flavours as I only have one modded cap which stays on the tube.. couldn't find any of the same ones on any of my bottles so ordered some from fast tech

I boiled the bottles for a few minutes, but they stiffened up right after cooling off.

the cap mod is working well, it's just a pain to change or fill bottles. maybe a needle tip going down to fill from the 510 connection?

and then, of course, I'll need a Reo for each flavor.

I'm pretty good with the Mini 2.1 and OG if using a shorty carto- can drive and squonk and vape no problem, usually don't even think about it- the vape gets low and I know it's time to give some more juice. hard press on the bottle.. but I know when to do it and it's not a thing.

the Grand is big to me.. smaller than the MVP, yes, but somehow larger- and using left handed (cuz my phone is in my right),

Ummm, you drive with your Mini in one hand and your cellphone in the other???
