In a woodvil, the bottle snugs up against the battery, right?
Well the cap of the sunbox bottle is AS WIDE as the bottle - not narrower like others - and there's sharp ridges to grip. So unless your woodvil has a little more room in it (which is possible) the ridges press up against the battery - pretty tight too. I think the 8.5's are fine in a Pinch or CC.
(edit - but don't go by me - I don't have either!)

shux! I just ordered a couple of them specifically for my 2 woodvils. What was the holdup? Any word on how these fit in the Lil Pinch? If @Rule62 had a conversation with Peter, prolly A ok. Normally I have strong hands but its going to be below 0 here and nothing is strong at those temps except ice... And the juice im trying to push through the squonk hole.

SB makes a 8.5ml and a 10ml and there is a big difference between the two. That is why I said I thought the 8.5ml is the one that will fit. It would be best for whomever to actually check with him prior to buying whatever they buy though...

You're correct. I didn't know there were 2 SB sizes. He mentioned the 8.5ml. They will fit.

@Rayonati Sloth
I've got mine running, and I'm 100% agreed.
It's nice, but not getting more...

a) It did NOT fit well in my woodvil - just the P67
b) even with the stretchy tube, and @muzichead's excellent advice to not screw it over-tight, it is STILL a bit of a hassle for me to unscrew and refill. I'm sure I could get better at it, but it's tricky cuz I can't grab and turn the bottle (it's too soft - it'll squonk) but have to grab the upper and lower cap.

I DO appreciate a soft squonk - but the regular FSB's are fine (or, for that matter, the stock Coppervape bottles) - I just have that "seep at the threads" and have added a quick thread wipe to every refill.

Agreed on all counts. In all honesty, IMO the best bottles so far (for me) are the standard bottles from reosmods.

I myself had problems with squonking the 6ml Reo bottles in the wintertime around here with my arthritic hands. The FIB bottles were better, but as Rule pointed out, they are inconsistent from one to another. The silicone bottles were basically a no brainer for my hands and would make the decision to buy more regardless of how many devices I had... I might also add, they are the 1st bottle I have had in my grands that you can squonk every last drop, (bone dry), of juice out of the bottle. I've tried with the others and couldn't get the last 1-2ml out of them.

I think it was Drifter that pointed out in either Corey or Peter's thread, think of the device you are putting them in!! Would it make sense to put them in a dripbox or a pico squeeze? The answer is no, but for a really nice P67, Grand, Woodvil, CC, Pdib, or something alike the answer would be yes...

So they are $20+ a pop, but ask yourself this, how many $10-20 drip tip's do you have stashed away in the I don't vape this stuff anymore box or drawer? How many out there have more than a few Mole Hill Mountain or other high end tip maker drip tips? I'm sure they cost just the same if not more!!

I never bought into Drifter's point myself, nor do I have any 20 buck drip tips...

I think no matter how one looks at it, 28 bucks (less shipping) for one of these bottles is INSANE.

But is it worth it? That is entirely subjective.

 

[TwistedThrottle]

For people trying to justify the cost of these $28 bottles, think of it as tires for your ride. Sure the stockies are ok, but aftermarket tires can work better and last longer. They're the contact between the road and your car as a bottle is between your squonk finger and mod. If your not super happy with that feel, change it. At least that was my train of thought.

 

[Rule62]

Agreed on all counts. In all honesty, IMO the best bottles so far (for me) are the standard bottles from reosmods.

I tend to be somewhat resistant to change, sometimes. With the standard REO bottles, I know just how hard to squonk them, and how to gauge my juice fills. I like to refill and change batteries at the same time. I'd have to re learn that stuff with different bottles.
Weird? Yeah, I guess so.

If I have ruffled any feathers here lately, I would like to apologize...

I have received a couple pm's today with questions and thought I should post something here... My vape journey is down to 40ml or so and should be gone by early next week as it seems I'm only at about 3-5ml per day so I'm guessing sometime around Tuesday next week. I just find myself vaping less and less as time passes and even find myself going out to do things without either of my grands. The writing on the wall has been there for a while...

Its been great being a fellow Reonaut and if it wasn't for several of you I might not have made it this far. I can't believe its been a year since I first thought this might be a reality much less its been almost 6yrs since I had my last analog!! Whomever my customized grands wind up with, I hope they love and enjoy them as much or more than me. I am sure they will be thought about on a somewhat regular basis for a while... The again, who knows for sure!! Funny where life's travels take us...

 

[oplholik]

I wish you luck on your next step @muzichead Although I realize your next step might lead you away from here, I hope you will pop in occasionally.

I don't think I could quit ECF cold turkey. I think it will take a little time...

Well, there's NO reason why you can't still hang out on ECF and visit with friends....I mean, being active on a forum is not a bad habit that you need to break. So many good friends have come and gone. It's just a shame that forums are tied to hobbies or behaviors because they are really just (to me) places to make friends.

This is the first forum I've ever been a part of, and it seems to me that I've made some really good friends.....it's like we've fought in a war together or something. I find letting go of the people as they come and go almost harder than the quitting cigs was.

Just my thoughts. I think I'm feeling sentimental and nostalgic here at the year's end....

Hi all

Just popping in to say hi from Johannesburg, South Africa

When the Reosmods forum closed I stopped checking in on ECF.

Passed the 3 year vaping mark recently. If it wasnt for my Reos I doubt I would have made it this far with such little hassle and so much pleasure.

Reos still rock and have a solid place in my vaping

Nice to see some of the familiar names from Reoville.

Will catch up soon and happy festive season to everyone

Hi, @Silver1. It's good to see you over here. Happy Holidays.

 

[JC Okie]

Just popping in to wish the whole Reo family warm holiday wishes and a happy new year.

I haven't been in here, but just know you guys have been in my mind and my heart.

Hi, @Papa_Lazarou. I miss you! Happy Holidays.

My positive contact on my favorite Grand snapped this morning. Luckily I had an old one and replaced it.
Emailed Rob (he's doing good) got 6 more new positive contacts coming in mail.
Although I have 3 grands and a P67 still nice to have them all up and running.
Just saying Rob still has best customer service… My Man.

Do you know how long it lasted?
I'm trying to figure out how many spares I should stock up on.

 

[FatBill]

Not sure you can put a definitive time on positive contacts. This is the first one that has ever snapped on me myself. The Grand that snapped the contact was used when it came into my possession. So really its hard to put a time table of life expectancy on them. I can just say its gonna be nice to have some brand new spares.
Spares= nothing goes wrong with your current one

Agreed. The likelihood that you'll lose or break something is inversely proportional to the likelihood that you will have a spare.
I think it's one of those Murphy's Laws.

Hi, @Papa_Lazarou. I miss you! Happy Holidays.

Hey, J. Been an eventful year (the good kind). Busy, busy boy, me.

Sure miss mixing it up in the old subforum, but I'll try to pop in here more frequently.
