There is a tube that connects to the bottom of the 510 that feeds juice from the bottle, so you might get a little leakage from the atty if you store it upside down, but the bottle definitely won't dump on you.

It's not recommended to store your reo upside down, but if it happens it'll only dribble a little bit.

After about 3 pulls off the RM2 it needs to be squonked if you don't squonk it it should be fine to pocket with no mess. Some of the things that might make a difference 1. juice it your run high PG you will need the tube included with your Reo to prevent auto feeding. 2. weather in hot areas or in a car in the summer it could self squonk. Are you a student or do you live in West Laughalot. Welcome fellow hoosier.

Yep...the only time mine have leaked is from me absentmindedly over squonking (squeezing the bottle too many times without vaping). :facepalm:

Hi,after you squonk, do you have to wait a bit for the excess juice to go down? If you don't, and squonk again, it might overflow? is that what happened?

That's gonna depend on what you use as a topper.

Rebuildables with a bottom drain hole, the excess juice will drain back down fairly quickly.

Not so much with factory attys / cartos / post fed RBAs :) it will pretty much stay there until vaped thru.

No...you vape it. :) It does take a bit of work to flood it.

Here's how it happened....Reo in hand, watching tv. Press the bottle for a 3 count then get distracted...forget to vape. Press the bottle again for a 3 count and forget again....then a 3rd time...when I vape, I have juice on the outside of my well. Not much, but enough to get my attention. This isn't that common for me to do...maybe once a month or so. I don't see a lot of people posting about this, so I may be the only one doing it.

You can wait for it to go back down, but probably best just to wipe up the outside, then vape the rest. That's what I do. If you're using a regular atomizer, you can just take it off the mod, blow it out, put it back on and vape.

Well, it's more of a rhythm thing...once you do it a few times, you get the hang of it. Some people like dryer hits (like my husband) so he doesn't squonk as often or as much...likes it right on the edge of burning his throat. I, on the other hand, like it cooler and more moist, so I soak the hell out of my wick and squonk every 4 or 5 hits.... Which explains why he never complains about over squonking. You can remove the drip tip and look inside your atomizer or RBA to see where you're at while squonking...that will help you get a feel for it. That's why I loved 306 atties so much before I got into RBAs...with a clear drip tip, you can see the inside of the atty and where the juice is. Great for learning. Back when I just got my REO, I just counted my vapes before it got dry....that's how I learned my rhythm. Then it became second nature. It is different for everyone.
306 atties...clear plastic, clear pyrex.

Hi, so it seems that after squeezing, the excess juice doesn't go down instantaneously. There is a lag, and if you squeeze again, the cumulative juice rises higher and it comes out of the air hole. Is that what happened?

BTW, what do you mean by a "3 count"? You have to press the bottle for 3 seconds?

There's a few methods, initially i had the dt off and would watch, then i started watching the air hole, air hole shows juice wait a second or two release bam... now i watch sometimes but the most i do regularly is the blind test, air hole down gentle draw listen for gurgle... gurgle is good

Do you also have to squeeze harder when the juice level gets low in the bottle?

So this might sound weird but its not how hard you squeeze... i use the same pressure just press farther or longer, gotta be gentle with it, its an art... that's just my opinion though
