When I imagine a square bottle in my Grand, I get a view of the bottle's right side with the right edge.
What happens, if the bottle is squeezed frequently close to the edge ?
I hate to spoil the Party, but my current round bottle is 2,5 years old and looks like new.
I wonder, how a rectangular bottle's edges would look like after around 900 refills ?
This option seems to require some quality assurance procedures...

Vapage sells 9ml round bottles that will work in the Grand. You must drill out the drip tip of the bottle for the tube.

I went to my local Japanese store (Daiso) that sells items for $1.50 and snagged a bag of 6ml square bottles.

It fits perfectly in my reo mini, I use my exacto knife and made the hole on the lid for the tube to fit through.

I filled it with water and there was no leakage of any sort.

Won't be able to fully test it until my repair kit comes in the mail though.

Drilling would be better, you can easily create a hole that is not perfectly round and thus leak with the blade. They do sell drill bits for the dremel but not sure if it goes up to 11/64

Came late to this thread... read the first 4 pages, jumped to the last to see if the square bottles had become a reality and started going backwards. So beg your pardon if this is out of context until I can read all the pages.

Have 2 Dremels with a few attachments for them.... but the roto tool of choice around here is my Foredom, also with a lot of accessories. I have several handpieces for it, but it's in storage at the moment and don't remember how large the one with the largest capacity is.

I'm given to understand you can get 9ml round bottles that fit from Vapage. I think THESE are the ones.

If I had a 18650 reo I would check if it fits, but I only have the 18490 reo. I do have a XL Vmod which uses those 9ml bottles. The bottle is pretty sturdy, barely see the seam on the bottle too.

I'll look for the link....there's a link for 100 of the little ones, and none of the others, for about $20 mailed. I hate to admit it, But I got those. I have LOTS of little bottles. How about you let me send you a handful of them. Please. :) Really. Please. PM me.

Hey, so I just skimmed through all 1000 pages of the square bottle thread, and I'm ready to give them a whirl... but its saturday and nothings going to ship out till monday anyways...

I have the reo mini LP. And Its not so much for capacity, but I don't like to aim when I squonk.

So on amazon I can order those variety packs, and get six bottles for ten bucks, and throw away the rest of them...

Or I could just order 100, for 20 bucks you say? and send some off to other reo mini users.

I also wanted to make sure that they were the thicker red capped ones rather than the flimsier ones, because it seems to be a bit of an issue.

So unless you still have a bunch sitting around lemme know :)

Thanks
Colton

Sorry I made a mistake. I kept the original oring in and added a 2nd oring around the neck that was thicker. The oring in the cap was too thin. I made a mistake and it will leak by just moving the oring.

you need to keep the original and add a thinker oring around the neck. Hope that helps!


EDIT; BTW has anyone clicked on the amazon link latley. The bottles went from 99cents to almost $5 with free shipping.

Not bad if you only buy 1 but if you buy a couple its about 8 bucks for the 8 plastic bottles. Still only a buck a pc.

I just tried that, it does work wonder to make squonking faster on the standard bottles.
I measured it by looking at the hole on the rm2 : on a full bottle, before adding the oring i needed around 3 secs to get the hole wet.
After adding the oring, barely one sec. So, win !
