A problem I see with this is that the ridge where they join makes the bottle tight in the space....so when I put the battery in, it's really snug. And the door is harder to slide on (I can live with that.) I wonder if the battery would actually drop if the spring collapsed. I'm afraid it might stay held up by the tightness of the bottle. So....Quigsworth....how do you (can you) weld the two bottles together without much of a seam? Or....how do you get rid of the seam? Or....do you have a method that doesn't make much of a seam?
I heated up a non-stick pan on the stove, then I cut the top off of one bottle and the bottom off of the other. I pressed each side down on the heated pan until I could tell they were getting sticky, then I quickly stuck them together and held it a second until it seemed stuck. I put water in it to make sure there were no leaks, an voila!!! Do you have a better method?
EDIT: Holds about 12-13 ml.

Nice...exactly how I would have done it...you could maybe smear the edge flat with a soldering iron...careful though, a solding iron (unregulated) would make short work of the LDPE...

Another small concern....when I squonk, all the pressure happens on the section below the seam. So....there's extra pressure on the bottom half right where the seam is and I think that it could spring a leak. So far, so good....but it just feels like every time I squonk I'm trying to pop the two sections apart. Hard to explain.
Don't have a soldering iron. I was thinking maybe a hot glue gun (without the glue.) It's a tight fit. I did try to trim a little of the seam off with manicure scissors and smoothe it down. A little came off.

Yes, it is a tad too big and I need to be careful with the door, but it's a lot softer than the REO bottles and working great.
Looks like it could interfere with the spring collapsing in a short ..... well the batt would probably stay up and the connection broken at the bottom .... never mind.
The tip of a hot glue gun...perfect...you should be careful snipping off the seam overage...that could be the weld, hard to tell I know.
So, general consensus is then to get the ones from ebay yes? If so, I might need to drop an order myself.
Big Hitter, I was thinking that same thing...does the spring require the weight of the batt to collapse or would the melted spring fall away on it's own and leave the batt just suspended there?...things that make you go hmmm.
I would postulate that if whatever you did to smoke the spring, even if it didn't completely fall away it would at the very least result in a crap connection and introduce a ton of resistance into the cct....6 of 1, half dozen...IMO.

LOL...just read that...the last ingredient is key for me, it all but alleviates any possibility of over thinking anything
Tiny thread hijack... Since were looking for more capacity and all... Stumbled across this

Anyone know of spec sheet on this battery?
Edit: never mind

I've seen the specs of this batt around before...it has like a 3.5A max discharge?...sure, it has a ton of capacity but I'd pass
Well, I've mutilated 4 bottles trying to get them together without leaks so I guess I'm just waiting for the VMod XL 9ml bottles I ordered for my Grand.
This is good news. Anything that can make squonking easier on my week finger will be awesome. Time to go shop on eBay I guess. I wonder if the little Japanese store we have here will have these bottles available...
These! I got these today, and they WORK! The small ones work in the 18490s, and the middle size works in the Woodvil and Grands. They're very soft and easy to squonk, and the hole in the cap is easy-peasy. Like QUIGSWORTH says.....don't over-think it. The cap is made of soft plastic, so just stab it to get it started then ream it out with a scissor blade.
They hold more, are easier to squonk, and they look cool. In the Woodvil 18650 I can't even see my battery anymore. It just looks like a flat piece of plastic with juice behind it. They are great so far. Also, the cap seals very well, so no o-rings needed. All in all, IMHO they are definitely a win.
There are three sizes in the package....11 bottles altogether (4 little ones, 4 medium ones, and 3 big ones (that don't fit our purposes but will work for something else...??
Also, you'll have to re-learn squonking because it takes a lot less effort to squonk these...less pressure and less time.
You know what I don't get? If the little bottles fit the 18490, and the medium ones for the grand with that much space left... Why don't the medium ones fit the 18490 too? The only difference 'tween the two is height, I thought...

The only difference isn't height. I think maybe you're thinking of the two Minis -- the original and the 2.1. Of those, the only
difference is thickness. The 18490 is definitely narrower than the Grand by at least 3-4 mm.

Nice job on those pics and fitting the bottles Jan, thanks! I ordered some of the larger ones for the Grand and Woodvil. 6ml for the Mini's and 18490 will be outstanding, all we need to carry all day is one spare 18490 battery, pretty easy to do!
i ordered some bottles earlier today from ebay.
if they don't work out "Pink Lady" is on top of my list
sorry if i already posted that. "Pink Lady" has got me kinda stressed...
