So far I'm real happy with mine it's not leaking squonks easy and well I will see how it goes 
I drilled from the inside of the lid it was easy with the ring inside the lid
I drilled from the inside of the lid it was easy with the ring inside the lid I've had my bottle from Ebay in for about a day. Much more easier to squonk. Haven't had a leak yet. Nice to not have to fill up the mini 2.1 as often. I drilled a 1/16" hole in the middle of the cap then used some scissors to bore out a larger hole until the tube fit in it.
11/64" drill bit, drilled from the inside of the cap is the quick one-step way to make the hole in the cap. Mind your fingers though.
I've been running a 6ml bottle in an 18490 Woodvil for maybe 6 days doing about 3 to 4 ml per day, no leaks yet.
Tonight I fitted out a Mini 2.1, its running well so far. I had to scrap one of the eight bottles, the tube was a tight fit going down inside it, so I started cutting the hole at the top wider, after I did that it would not seal with the cap on, I probably removed too much material.

Day three continuous usage with mine... Cyclone at .9 (re) wicked with Frankencotton ( sorry I know no one liked that name---Cellucotton, rayon what have you) so far the bottles working for me. The bottles are cheap enough that I wouldn't mind having a supply on hand if it does spring a leak. Maybe it's a QC thing and I got lucky.

So far I've had great luck with the little 6 ml bottles in my 18490s. Love them. The two I had leaks in were the 9 ml ones I put in the 18650. I think it might have to do with how they fit in the REO or something. I'm finding it great to have 6 ml in the 18490s. I can live with the regular bottles in the 18650s. I am using my 18490s a lot more because of these. I found the 3 ml juice limit more bothersome than the smaller battery.
Jc the vapage 9 ml bottles work great if you do decide you need more capacity in the grand... I have one in my other bottom feeder and it's never leaked. I know Turbocad has used them in his grands though. Needs a lighter squonk touch too

Yay, square bottle for square mod! This is exactly what I needed for my mini 2.1. 3ml was just a tad too little. Thank you to whoever found these little gems.

So, it's been a couple of days with the new bottles. LOVE 6ml with my mini!
I have one thing that is starting to bug me though. Does anyone else think the thin bottle gets almost too "squishy" when squonking with the bottle less than half full of juice? When full it's a breeze to squonk, just a light squeeze but after the level gets low I get the feeling that the plastic is almost too soft escpecially in the warm weather and sun. I'm afraid the plastic is going to crack on the corners which I think are the weakest part and therefore round being a better design for squonking. Going to keep them in and see if I adjust to the "squishy" squonking!

I prefer the squish Just like the Vapage 9ml bottles in my grand, easy squish-squonkin! Main reason I like the easier squish is my thought is its less pressure so less likely leak? I don't know for sure but easier is better all around to me.
Longevity of these guys is to be determined but I'm good with replacing every couple months if need be. Also, I've noticed there are different tops. I have both and will be trying the green/pink ones next. Right now I have the red and they are not very stout and I can see a leak coming eventually. Currently no leaks but its only been a few hours.

Day four in my 18490... Still dry and rockin!

My red cap bottle leaked where the tube was inserted in cap. A slightly smaller hole could probably fix. However, the pink/green caps have more material and a little raised ring on the inside of cap that looks like it would seal better. Also noted the bottles that came with the pink/green caps are thinner than the bottles with the red caps. So now I'm using a green cap drilled to 11/64" with the bottle from the red cap bottle. Hard to see in pic, but thicker red cap bottle on right, thinner green cap bottle on left. The green cap is very similar in design to the vapage 9ml bottle caps.
and a happy mini 2.1 with a red cap bottle and green cap
ya ya i know, the reo door is upside down, cropped in photobucket so you may not see it

Hooray! got mine to work. The top cap was too tight. Stretched it a tad bit more and now it doesn't squeeze the tube. Now just to see and make sure it doesn't leak from the top.
There is yet another little trick you can do to gain you just a bit more juice, and also may help seal the tube to the cap better if you have a questionable cap hole...this is the 15ml bottle in my "Russian Tractor" Grand, insert enough of the tube through the cap till there's about a 1/4" of tube that will be inside the bottle, the red pipe is from a can of WD40 (unused duh )...it's a nice tight fit in the feed tube hole and takes up a lot less real estate than the thick feed tube material...you may actually gain another ml.

What pg/vg ratio you using? I would think with higher vg it would be harder to squonk, like robs reducer tubes
