Me and The Boss love our 3 REOs, 2 Grands and a VV. She likes the VV and has sort of taken it over, which is ok by me. I'm thinkin about getting a Mini 2.1 or else another Grand. I like the fact the 2.1 is even more compact than the Grand which is plenty good as it is already.

The one thing I wonder about on the 2.1 is bottle capacity. Could somebody put up a pic of the 2.1, a frontal view with the door off? Would a larger capacity bottle fit in? If so, which bottle, where would you get it and would it plug/screw straight on?

Thanks.

This 2.0 is the same size as the 2.1. It is a pretty tight fit.

This pic shows a 2.0 with a kick added.

DH loves his mini, it is pretty much all he uses now.

My 6 ml bottle gets about halfway down per battery change, and I fill it every time I change the battery (2 or 3 times a day) so the 3 ml capacity of the mini works well. BUT, that darn itty bitty bottle is hard for my uncoordinated blind self to fill; there is less room for error. DH has no problems though so it is just my bad eyesight and the fact that I am so used to my grand's big bottle.

I wholeheartedly think you should get one, you might find it is perfect for you just as DH has :toast:

The smaller 3ml bottle can be a pain to fill. The neck is very narrow and often juice will pool while filling.

There are ways to fill that make it easier. Using a syringe is a good method.

I love my REO's that use the 3ml bottle but I don't use them exclusively.

Yep, but I carry a 14 ga. blunt usually anyway so no problem there.

After looking at y'alls responses, which I do appreciate, I think I will go with the 2.1 Mini and stick with the 3ml. bottle. Karen, your pic of your 2.0 shows it is really tight space wise, helped me decide to remain stock sized bottle in there.

Frank, I can see me successfully drilling the cap on the 4.5, NOT.:blink: Thanks for the heads up on that and the fact the 4.5 is too squishey.

Matthee, fortunately I only vape my "Old Bow-Wow" diy juice which only an old sot(me) could love. Last summer flies and mosquitos fell out of the sky if they got within 10 feet of the fumes from this stuff. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating just a tad.:)

Vsummer, I'm hoping the 3ml bottle isn't hard to punch/squonk as my arthritic hands(with metal in 'em from Nam era surgical re-build) find punching hard, pulling to squonk would be easy, still got a pretty stout grip.

A question. Is the 3ml bottle not too hard, pushing-wise?

Thanks to each and all of y'all. The Reos and RM2s are head and shoulders the best vapes I've ever had.

Bottles will vary in how hard you must squonk. It helps to put them in very hot water to soak if they are hard.

When you squonk the 3ml bottle more area is covered by your thumb or finger. That might be a little easier for you.

I just tried both of them, and they are pretty much the same squishiness. The mini is just (wait for it) mini :lol:
