I'd like to see a cut-out of the hole in the cap if somebody has a picture of it. Has anyone done both the drilled and V-cut hole?

 

[mackman]

Thanks for the info. Are you guys drilling out the caps with a drill bit? What size are you using?

Most drill 11/64" a few used 5/32"

Use an 11/64 bit make sure all the burrs are off and it won't leak on you

Thanks for the drill bit size, you guys. But I don't have a drill. I do have a dremel but I've never drilled with it. Do you think there's an 11/64 bit for the dremel?

 

[Justice]

the plastic is so soft you could just do it by hand or buy a cheap drill

Most drill 11/64" a few used 5/32"

Thank you.

I don't drill mine. I make a small hole to get it started, then I ream out a hole with the blade of pointed scissors. Just keep turning and turning and scraping it out until it's big enough to squeeze your tube through. Works great.

Great news. Okay, now I have to order some of those bottles.

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

My dremel couldn't hold that size drill bit, so I had to break out the drill

 

[turbocad6]

the hole has to seal to the tube, so the smoother and rounder it is the better it will be for a good seal, a hacked hole might still be tight enough to seal because the tube can deform to a certain extent but would be more prone to leakage under pressure of the squonk, a slight leak will make squonking harder because you'll be losing some pressure to the leak, leaks here might not show so much as fluid leaks because it may only leak once it's seeing some pressure but it will affect the squonk and make you have to press harder and longer, causing split bottles and stuff, with a perfect seal you will only need a light squonk, as the seal becomes less good it will require more and more squonking, and of course a gross leak won't feed anything up to the atty at all, this is not only about leaking fluid, it may not leak fluid but still leak enough to cause less than great squonking, with a tight seal the squonk can be so light and effortless

Doesn't someone on the forum have a 3D printer? I bet they could whip one up in about an hour! Those things are amazing.

Okay I don't need a picture of the hole in the cap anymore. I found one at post #475 on about page 48. That's for anyone who wants to see it too.

Sorry I thought you were being sarcastic about wanting to see a hole

Silly rabbit.

I moved the o ring on my grand, round bottle, to below the threads, like the square bottle!

Wow what a difference! Nice easy squonk on that round bottle also. The oring placement may have stopped the leaks before but it must have let air in. They work so so much better. Give it a try. Just pop the o ring out of the grand bottle and but it around the neck below the threads against the last shoulder. If the oring is not thick enough they dont seal as well. The one I had worked like a dream. No more squezing the heck out of that round bottle!

 

[cessnapix]

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.

When I imagine a square bottle in my Grand, I get a view of the front door with the bottle's right side and 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...
