Thinking about getting a Mini, I heard they are easier to squonk?

[paulw2014]

It was brought to me attention that the REO mini uses a 3ml bottle and the 3ml bottle is supposedly easier to squonk.

I have a grand and it's awesome, but it gets a bit harder to squonk when the juice gets low. I like to squonk often, like once every hit.

I wonder if you have to count seconds with the 3ml bottle as well? Or is it instantaneous? How about when the juice is lower than 1/2?

And finally, would the 3ml bottle be more prone to auto feed since it's easier to squonk? thx

I've never had my minis auto feed, but I don't use a high pg juice.
When the bottle is more than half full I only squonk for like two seconds. After half tho I'll squonk for like 3-5. It is easier IMO to squonk in 3ml bottles.
I find tho that the new bottles need to be broken in a little.

Ditto to what Miarose says

Same for me - no autofeed, but I also do not use high PG and it is easier to squonk than my grand.

Well it is easier to squonk a 3ml IMO

But not easier than a 6ml for the first 3ml ......... maybe just top off at halfway and you will get the same experience.

or use a 3ml bottle in the grand with a shorter squonk tube and sit the bottle on something or Velcro it to the back or something.. just an idea.

I only fill my 6ml bottle with 2ml of juice so I can swap juice sooner, and i poor a fresh/dif juice str8 in ontop of the last

You have wanted longer battery life with your Grand but you will get shorter battery life on a mini.

Guys, I tried to refill my 6 ml at half way to keep it full most of the time. I discovered that while it is easier to squonk with a fuller bottle, it is also easier to flood the RM2 if you are not careful. There are time when I squonked too hard or too long and the juice doesn't completely drain. I think this is because a fuller bottle has less vacuum to suck the juice back.

You really have to be careful and apply not too much pressure, and do not go over 2 seconds. What do you think?

IIRC.....somewhere Rob posted something about NOT filling a bottle over 3/4 full.....It's what I do, and I've yet to flood my RM2....
But, yes....a fuller bottle takes less effort to squonk, so juice flows up/in faster...the space in a 3/4 full bottle allows easier return flow...
HTH!!
Happy (vaping) Trails!

All I own now are minis due to the fact they are easier to squonk and I switch flavors a lot YMMV
