Greetings. I received my VV Reo Grand and brass reomizer a few days ago and have a few questions. Any help would be appreciated.

1. How does everyone change flavors? Just change bottles and clean out the reomizer? What about the juice feed tube? I gave it a little tug and could not get it off to clean- I didn't want to pull too hard and risk breaking something. Does it come out?

2. Anyone else have a hard time separating the base of the RM2 from the top or the RM2 without tools? Any tips?

3. I think I like my Igo-w better than the RM2. Has anyone modded the Igo w for use in a VV?

4. Why can I not thread regular 5 ml bottles (of which I have over 100) into the cap? Could I just drill holes in the caps of my bottles for the tube?

5. I bought a brass button for the vv, but I have no idea how to put it on without taking the vv apart (which I am hoping to avoid.) Tips?

6. Every time I pick up the vv, the bottle clunks against the door. Not a huge deal, but certainly a little annoying. Best way to remedy this issue?


Thanks

Congrats and Welcome to Reoville. I don't have a VV but will answer a few questions for you.

Greetings. I received my VV Reo Grand and brass reomizer a few days ago and have a few questions. Any help would be appreciated.

1. How does everyone change flavors? Just change bottles and clean out the reomizer? What about the juice feed tube? I gave it a little tug and could not get it off to clean- I didn't want to pull too hard and risk breaking something. Does it come out?

Loosen the bottle but leave the tube in, blow into the drip tip while covering the air hole on the RM2. Wipe the outside of the tube with a tissue. It can come out but is tacked in place with a little super glue.

2. Anyone else have a hard time separating the base of the RM2 from the top or the RM2 without tools? Any tips?

I install the base of the RM2 on the Reo first and then screw the top on. This way the top does not get over tightened and is easy to get open.

3. I think I like my Igo-w better than the RM2. Has anyone modded the Igo w for use in a VV?

No Idea here

4. Why can I not thread regular 5 ml bottles (of which I have over 100) into the cap? Could I just drill holes in the caps of my bottles for the tube?

Yes, cut off the tip of the drip nipple about a qtr of inch down. drill a hole in the drip nipple a little smaller than the tube. Insert through this hole. Now you have no cap or o-ring to worry about

5. I bought a brass button for the vv, but I have no idea how to put it on without taking the vv apart (which I am hoping to avoid.) Tips?

If you mean the brass button covers, they are for mechanical Reo grands not the VV model.

6. Every time I pick up the vv, the bottle clunks against the door. Not a huge deal, but certainly a little annoying. Best way to remedy this issue?

Pull a little of the tube out so the bottle sits lower and presses against the bottom of the Reo, no more wiggle. Also cut an inverted small V in the tube so it cannot suction to the bottle. should be like this ^

Thanks

Drip nipple? Is this the removable cap on the plastic bottles? I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Also, where does the v get cut into the tube? And why?

Thanks for your help.

It's the little piece on the bottles that sort of snaps off. You can push it off with the thumb, it's right where the juice drips out of on most bottles.

the nipple the little insert that goes into the bottle so that you drip drops out once that cap is off. check out this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/521257-just-did-bottle-mod.html#post12065361

the v goes on the bottom of the tube that is in the bottle. the flat bottom of the tube can suction against the bottle and mess with squonking. should look like this.

I'm so glad you posted this! I could not get the last mil of Gorilla Juice to squonk today (so sad - that was the end of it until vape mail arrives!) and I couldn't figure out why my 'v' wasn't working. I cut it upside down....LOL
