LOL well no plans at the moment but one never knows when the addictive gene will kick in! I need to clear out a couple of things first before I can rationalize the purchase of another

Well I did this and it seemed to work short term but I am still having a very hard time getting juice in the odin chamber. I have to press pretty hard and hold it for a few seconds and multiple times to get it to juice up the wicks and sometimes that does not work. I have to end up taking the top cap of my rda off to make sure it is juicing it up...that is a PITA. So this morning I was going to get to the bottom of it. At first I thought maybe the holes in the odin are not big enough for max vg but I don't think that is the case. I hear it emptying with the swoosh sound but so I know something is getting in there. I also made sure that the cotton was not blocking anything and I re wicked it with less cotton to see if that worked.....no Bueno. I took the bottle etc apart and found that the oring is a little off and found there was juice residue on the threads of the bottle and inside threads of the cap. It is not sealing great and I think that may be the issue. For now I wrapped some Teflon tape around the threads of the bottle this morning and so far so good. The juice is coming through with one or two pushes and I don't seem to have to push as hard. YAY!! Need to pick up a couple of spare orings and see if that does the trick. Even with that though, I am loving my reo.
Just thought I would update

When you screw the bottle onto the cap, it's very easy to distort the o ring, if you tighten the bottle too much. You can see it distort, through the translucent cap, if it happens. If the o ring is distorted, the squonk and return won't work properly. It doesn't have to be all that tight. Just snug enough to seal is all that's necessary.
Could have very well been that I over tightened at some point, I just ordered some spare orings a long with a few other spare parts. So far it has worked great with the Teflon tape so I can only assume that I over tightened at some point and torqued the oring which caused it to stretch a tad and not seat right in the cap.
Just thought I would update and say I am loving it! Working like a champ! Enjoying my reo journey!
