Cool, I may have to pick one of those up, if I can get my Revolution working again. But then again it will work on a vmod.
Still trying to get something to replace the tube I lost, dang it!

Didn't the OP say he used the tube from an old ball point pen (the ink tubing thingy) or something? You can also get spare tubing at the Bogger site. Don't know if they are the right size, though.

The tubing from a ball point is too big. As is any other tube I have around the house. Not sure if the tubing from Bogger would work or not.
Do this, take a 510 atty that is not sealed, look at the bottom side of it and you should see a hole. That's the size I need for the Revolution, not an easy find for sure. Going to try the hobby shop tomorrow to see if they may have something that would work.

The ball point tube was for the squonk mod in the bottle, for the small piece in the 510 you need a small piece of 18 gauge tubing, I use ptfe tubing. The needle from the bottle has to fit in it as it comes up thru the 510 connecter.
Thanks BJ43, that's what I was looking for, someone who knew the correct size. I tried 18 gauge wire but it was just small enough not to sit right. Now to find someone or some where that carries it. Course I looked on Amazon but no one has it in stock. Funny how a simple little thing like this can make vaping so difficult.
I did find a metal tube that fit but I thought it would short the connection, haven't tried it as yet.

I bought an assorted selection of 5 diff sizes of ptfe tubing 14 to 24 g on ebay a few years ago. Have not seen the offer again. The metal should work as all this tube does is hold the needle from the tank and the tank is plastic and not grounded.
I just found this tidbit about the Boge Rev 2 and thought it would be good to have it on this thread:
"Just a quick note with the Boge Rev- you can't use lower than 2.0 cartomizers or it will shut off. You just have to recharge it to reset. Draw is tight but I got a dremel and made some slots and improved the draw."

While wandering around the forum this morning I ran into a link someone posted where the Revolution V2 was on sale for $30 at Gator Vapor 1400mAH "V2" Bottom feeder! - Bargain Bin - Liquid Nicotine | Electronic Cigarette Liquids | E-Liquids from GatorVapor.com. Figured I'd give it a shot...so I ordered one. I had thought seriously about getting one when I was first thinking about getting a bottom feeder a year ago...but didn't like the proprietary battery thing so much, and really wanted the Vmod. Well...I have the Vmod now, and am still rather curious about the Revolution, so I decided to go for it and see what happens! lol!
I like mine a lot, it hits good, battery last a long time, 2 days for me and I chain vape. The ability to change flavors is easy. Only problem I had was changing the bottle, it can be troublesome at times. You can find bottles here:
10mL Empty E-Liquid Bottle w/Blunt-Tipped Needle for Revolution V2 - EVcigarettes.com. I would advise picking up a few just to have on hand.
Oh and one more thing I found out. There is a small, tiny tube that fits in the 510 connector to feed what ever device you use, DON'T LOSE IT like I did.
All in all, I think you may like it, keep us posted.

I hope that tiny tube thing in the connector doesn't come out easily? My eyes ain't what they used to be....
Those bottles DO have the needles? The picture doesn't show it.
I'm kind of excited. I'm finally going to get to check the Revolution V2 out. It'll be fun! I like that passthrough bit...that's pretty cool. Long time since I used a PV with a passthrough! lol!
The tracking on my Revolution order shows that it's out for delivery! ALREADY! I ordered it around mid-day on the 18th...and it's being delivered today. Wow! That is the fastest I've ever gotten vapemail! I was really expecting it maybe tomorrow at the earliest.
Kind of excited. New toy!
I also bumped into a thread with some illustrated tips (that I didn't know) on making micro coils. I was having trouble getting the coils to touch and STAY touching with the 32 kanthal (yeah, I know it's thin, but it's what I have and until I can get some sort of consistency with making coils I don't feel like investing in any more supplies at this point. It's been truly aggravating trying to learn this making coil business. Kinda ticks me off). I think the tip may help. Might give it another shot later today. Don't hold out much hope...but kemosabe has given me great instructions, and I've managed to do ONE "good" coil (but it messed up soon as I tried to change the wick) so maybe I'll do okay. Another step on a long and miserable road that I don't really want to take, but feel I "have" too with this rebuilding coils "adventure". Sigh.

I'm confused. I just got my Revo V2 and looked in the 510 connection right away (after removing the cap) and didn't see any tubing in there. The needle goes right into the cartomizer/atomizer near as I can tell. Hmmm. I have a super shorty Smok 2ohm in there right now and it's working. Considering trying out the AMG slant coils on it. The cartos that came with the kit were 2.7 +/- really too high for a 3.7 v. device without VV. Could be I don't see the tube because the needle is in there. Next time I take the bottle out I'll look again.
It's pretty nice, really. The lanyard drives me crazy, but it's okay. I didn't get a spare needle. Anyone know what size it is, and how long it's supposed to be? Guess I ought to get some spare bottles, but want to be sure the needles are included and I can't tell from the link BD posted if they are included or not.
It is a very little piece of tubing that the needle goes thru. Hard to see and have never had a problem with it. Don't know what BigDaddy did to lose it, mine has never moved. Mine came with two tanks and two needles. I later ordered three more tanks and they came with three needles. The needles tend to crack at the base, I am on my third needle.
I'm not sure how I lost my tube, I must have pushed it through when I had the atty off and putting the feed bottle in. I'm still trying to find something that will work.
Fourth, the link I put up does have the bottles with the needle. I think the needle is a 21 gauge, I got that from a thread that tearose told me about. I think I have about 12 bottles and needles as back up, since they don't make these any more. The attys I use came from Discount Vapers. I got the 1.5 ohm bridgeless and they work great for me. Just checked and Eric doesn't have any of those at the moment.
If your Revo doesn't have a tube on the 510 connection, then I wouldn't worry about it. I found out that some were shipped without it. I'm really digging mine, it works great for riding. Let us know how it's working for you.

I'm liking the Revo V2 quite a bit! When it first got here the brochure said it was "charged and ready to vape". Well...it was, but I guess sitting around in a Tampa warehouse it must have drained some from attrition 'cause there wasn't a lot of power in it left. Anyway..the first super shorty carto I put on there turned out to be 1.5ohm. Ugh! Anything below 2ohm is too HOT for me. So scrap that (sure get tired of buying cartos that are supposed to be 2ohm and turn out to be quite a bit less! Waste of money for me!) Quickly figured out the Vapage slant coils wouldn't screw on right without an adapter, and I didn't feel like messing with that. So I dug up a 35mm Boge and punched it and put it in a shorty Smok tank and that seemed to work good. I use a tank on my Bogger too. Anyway..by the time I'd done all that the battery was pretty much croaked so I had to charge it. It does NOT charge in 3 hours! lol! But by morning it was charged so I'm going for it and liking it more than I thought I would.
Now I need to know how you guys got that little ink reservoir tube secured in there to convert the bottle for "blind squonking". I have the potential tubes...just need to know the details how to fix up the bottle. I saw something about glue. Really? Glue? What kind? Appreciate any help.
