I put a couple of those in a cart and went to check out, and the ONLY shipping option was DHL at $18+ for two little bottles costing $9. So......I didn’t order them. Not yet, anyway. But I’ll bet they would be perfect for us.

Dang....that’s some pricey shipping. Hmmmmm......I was thinking that we could all go in on an order but that sounds complicated......(wheels turning).
I thought of that, too. I’d be willing to group-up and put in one order. But....what if we ordered a dozen and they actually didn’t fit? Ugh. Let’s ponder it a little more. Maybe @Vapefiend will actually hear back from them. When I was on the site, there’s a little pop-up “chat” box that comes up. I didn’t click it, but I might go back and try to ask questions there. I looked at the mod they are meant to be for. I was thinking I could sorta guesstimate the size, but the measurements for the mod were metric and my mind wasn’t willing to think on it hard enough to actually figure it all out! It was late and I was tired. LOL.
I agree, I was debating finding a shop that stocked the mod it’s for and attempting bring a mini to see if the bottle would fit. I do have a bunch of those Japanese square bottles that fit but these look so much better.
That’s a good idea....find a shop that sells the mod. I live in a big enough city that maybe I can check. I have a bunch of those Japanese square ones, too, but now that all these silicon bottles have come out, those little square ones seem pretty lame. Ha.
I really think these would fit. I mean, they are a pretty standard shape; we can see that just from the pics. And 3ml is 3ml is 3 ml. Ya know? It’s kinda hard for me to figure out how they wouldn’t fit. They look perfect, and I daresay they would be. I think we’re onto something here. Let’s pursue it a little more. Be nice if we could find them in stock somewhere else with better shipping.

Hey girl. Haven't been on ECF for months, but stumbled across this while passing some boredom hours on it a couple of times this last week or so.
I have experience with this "style" of bottle from Sigelei. Mine are 5ml capacity, but maybe their dimensions will help in guessing the size/length of the 3ml version. The 5ml bottles are 16mm dia, 45ml long to top of SS cap... 33mm long to bottom of cap. Mathematically that suggests the 3ml bottles are a smaller diameter to have the same overall appearance as the 5ml version.

As for shipping, their website doesn't tell the whole story. I ordered 2 spare 5ml for $9 each ($18) with $7.69 shipping (7-25 days), but received the order seven days later... and they sent me 4 bottles. They came in individual boxes bundled 2 together for the $9. So each bottle shipped was about $6.42.
They are not the super soft bottles, but are soft. The 2 I have been using for many months have held up well, so the spares bought will probably never get used (like the 50+ I had for the Reos long ago when I used them).
When I see your handle I often remember the days staying in a cabin right on the Rogue River (between you and Jenner) in the 60's with my girlfriend (now ex wife) and so much liking the area when we wanted to escape San Francisco. We'd drive PCH up to a ways below Anchor Bay, use a steel cable to get down the 80' high cliffs to the rocks during the only few times a year they were exposed during the lowest tides of the year to collect huge Red Abalone and huge Purple Urchins. The stay at the bottom was short at a very dangerous place, but it was table fare that just couldn't get any better for the days spent in the Littler's cabin.
Anyway, HTH on the bottles and doing business direct with Sigelei. I only vape regulated squonk 20700 and 21700 battery and mech dual 18650 battery squonk mods now days, but my passions are all gone... for forums, for vaping, for life, so I will log back off.
Hang in there @Spydro - hope you know how many you have helped through out the years. Thanks for checking in on the ol clan.

@Spydro - this ^^^
You've always been a significant contributor in here (and elsewhere), brother - part of the community, whether it suits your time these days or not.
Take care.
Hey @Spydro! So good to hear from you!! I just checked on this on my way to bed after a LONG, yet good work day. I will re-read your post and follow up but wanted to acknowledge you for your assistance and expertise that we’ve enjoyed so much over the years. Sounds like you are going thru a rough patch. I’m so sorry to hear. Please know that you’ve been missed and hope you will want to check back in more...... I too will check back in when bed isn’t calling for me.
Rest easy folks. So grateful for each one of you.
@Robinowitz - Got an alert that you had replied when I finally came back and posted to questions I was asked elsewhere about 2 weeks ago. I misspoke above (the brain doesn't work as well as it once did these days). The Littler's cabin was right on the Russian River ( closer to Guerneville than to Jenner). When I reminisce those days in the 60's and think of your general area I also think of the Rogue River and Coos Bay areas of Oregon; Clear Lake, Blue Slide Ridge, Feather Falls, etc N CA that we also visited 50+ years ago (to harvest wild eats as well). Done deal, take care.
Hey @Spydro, I was just looking up the area you were talking about on the Rogue River when I saw this post. Yep, you got it right, I live in the Russian River area, just a stones throw outside of Guerneville. So actually it seems that your brain is working better than you thought. We fell in love with this area about 23 years ago. Tis hard to beat being in the redwoods AND the river. Once a week at least, I float on the river and gaze at the surrounding trees and wildlife (river otters, ducks and herons that come in from the coast).
Sounds like maybe you could use a vacation?
ASAP I’m gonna check on those bottles if @JC Okie & @Vapefiend havent already (hint hint).
I never heard back from sigelei but I was considering buying them. I’m on the fence..$19 shipping is a lot wasted if they don’t fit.

I hear you. In truth, I’m not in a super hurry for the small soft bottles. I would wait and see what comes down the pipe. I just love teasing with my Reo friends
In closing: An UPDATE to end the pain and suffering here over the Sigelei Bottles.
With a bit of a kink in the feed tube a 5ml Sigelei bottle WILL 'physically' fit in a Reo 2.1. It's a little snug against the battery, but not enough to worry at all about. So it's probably a sure bet that the 3ml will fit in them as well (and maybe the Reo 1.0 as well). BUT... all good soup comes with a fly in it for extra protein. The Reo feed tube is a way larger diameter than the one that comes installed in the Sigelei bottles (it's made to fit their squonk mods). With their SS caps modding the Sigelei caps for the bigger feed tube would be a challenge many of you wouldn't/shouldn't try. With a drill press, or even by hand with a drill motor/roto tool if so qualified it would be doable.
I knew just about exactly where you were located at from 'reading between the lines' in your posts over the years. When we left San Francisco (April 1971) we settled in the Old Town area of Carmel-by-the-Sea (artist village). Our closest local Redwoods were in Palo Colorado Canyon (13 miles down the coast between Carmel and Big Sur). I still have a massive redwood coffee table made in 1971 from the burned out base of one of those giants there that was killed by lightning in the 60's. It has a massive driftwood base collected off a Big Sur beach. Our OT home (on 4 large lots) was still raw native forest by the ocean with massive Ponderosa & Monterey pines, Coast Live Oak and Cyprus trees, and native wildflowers with a creek running near it. Now it's a mini subdivision of small cottages. For water sports... marine biology projects, diving and a Boston Whaler on the ocean to dive/fish/water ski was the norm. The ex and I originally planned to live in Carmel for the rest of our lives. So much for that plan on both accounts. I have been basically on 'vacation' for 28 years. My whole world now days is a small bungalow on the desert that I very rarely leave.

I ordered some and will let all of you know!
