I've been vapin' 100% VG for a while and never liked how feeders handle the thick liquid so the solution is....make one.

Drilling out the center connector to fit a 14ga tube did the trick. Then, "hide the wires" and it's done. I like adding a brass tube to the back for the plunger; it keeps the action vertical and prevents wear. It's a "style 2" 2AA box from madvapes. On their site it says you have to mod the box to fit a 14500, but the modding is no different than their other box. A UF fits, an AW fits, and this flat top fits. Dunno....

Also, I hate how small the hole is in those style tips so I like to open them up, cut off the base, open up the bottom to fit over the atomizer, and then epoxy a base from a delrin tip so, when it's installed on the atomizer, it's down onto the tube as well as in it. I like the fit and the look.

I'm a likin' it; might make another. lol

Para, what are you using for tube material? It looks like the tube on the Reo's...I'm currently messing about with squirt bottle tubes which are too ridged and I'm about ready to loose it!

also, you convinced me...makin' a plunger...looks good

Not sure what it's made of, but it's really soft and flexible....and sure does look the same as REO's. I bought it a LOOOOONG time ago and it's been in the drawer ever since. The hole fits really well on the SS tube so it's 2mm and the OD is 4.25mm.

I use Parker's O-Ring Lube for a LOT of applications. By making the opening in the bottle top smaller than the tubing and using the lube, it allows feeding the larger tube in the smaller hole....and a super seal.

poland, and the brassy lands of google
You know, now that I think of it, I saw something like it at an RC shop a while ago...silicon fuel line...I should have bought a couple feet of it...I should have made one of those instead of buying my REO mini and saved oh...$115:facepalm:

It sure looks like the stuff, and it works great. having a straight piece cut a little long gives a good seal on the bottle nipple and the needle.

Great brass Para :)
