That image just reminded me of the one thing that really gets to me at times with my REO's. Is there a mystical secret to unscrewing the top off the bottle without sometimes applying sufficient pressure (accidentally) to pull the tube off of the top pin? It happens to me fairly often. I especially find that it happens with my Menthol REO (maybe menthol softens the plastic a bit).
Is there an easy way to push it back on securely without accidentally pushing the tube deeper into your bottle and having the bottle flap a few MM above the bottom? I currently use long nose pliers but heavens to Betsy I am clumsy.

It has never ever happened to me. On the Reos prior to the ones with the new 510 connections, I always put a drop of super glue as advised by the modmaster (video in Reo Basics thread) on the few occasions I put in new tubes. Also, I hold the cap and unscrew the bottle - suppose all do it that way?
On the new 510 connection Reos that "top pin" is much thicker and no glue is required.
Go for it. I used the thickest dremel drill bit I have - 3.2 mm. Drilled it from the inside (there is a nice guide there). Then the sharp blade of a pair of scissors from the top and the inside to widen it till it looked big enough for me. A good tight fit, no o-ring required.Nice job @Andre! Maybe I should try it too.
Saw on ECF someone says a 4.36 mm (converted from a fraction of inches) drill bit works well.

Pull the tube out of the bottle a bit more than is necessary,then holding the bottle just locate the tube on the 510 pin and wriggle it up.Just push the bottle up the tube until the bottle sits tight on the bottom of the Reo.
Thanks for the info... Going to try a spot of superglue!
Good, you have to take off the delrin insert. Then move the tube just a mm or two away from the top of the nipple. Apply a drop of best brand superglue in the open space at the top of the nipple and push the tube back. Do not overtighten the delrin insert screw.
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a weekend to go by as fast as this past weekend, so if anyone thought that this past weekend was too short, it was my doing
. During Vapecon I spotted a little beaut of a REO, a black anodized SL/LP REO Mini at the Vapour Mountain stand. I was so tempted to give it a new home then and there, however I was after a REO Grand at that time and passed on the opportunity, hopefully allowing some one else, maybe even a first time buyer, to own this REO.
After the Vapecon dust had settled I sent an e-mail to VM enquiring about the Mini. I was informed that it was not sold so I decided to give it a good home. I completed the transaction on Friday morning and then the agonising wait began.
I present to you the latest addition to the collection.
And with the SS driptip
While I like the practicality of the Grand`s juice bottle and the capacity of the 18650 batteries,
I find that the Mini is my goto on the go PV.

Great stuff @Blu_Marlin
I agree with you 100%. The Mini is a special machine.
Ideal for portability and great for stealth
I just love the way it fits in the hand.
Enjoy it
There is something very special about a new wick, fresh battery and a full bottle of juice in the morning!
And the most stunning Woodie EVER!
Indeed, that is some hard wood right there..
An interesting post from the Porcupine Master!
