Italian Squonk Bottles for REO's

VM has standard bottles, ordered some just recently.
 
Ya, the Reos are stocked at Reosmods and brought in to Vapour Mountain from time to time
Not sure, but I would believe that VM has some of the standard bottles
Anyhow, i am sure he will bring in more in hi next pre-order

We gearing up for the new Reo model - so then we can get lots of bottles (i assume new and old)
Just need to tell @Oupa what you want

New Reo model? The new 510 or a new new model?

That's great Thank you.

These bottles are brilliant for squonkers if you screw them on right... if not mess city! :confused:

That is exactly right. I love them. If you take that extra second or two to make sure they're screwing on right, there's never a leak. I've learned to carefully twist them backwards until they seat, then twist them on and tighten them up. I've never had a leak. And although they seemed sorta thin and insubstantial at first, I've been using them for months now and am completely sold on them. I've changed all my 18650 REOs over to them.

Yip @JC Okie me too... but I still occasionally make the mistake of trying to save 5 seconds by rushing out the house after filling the bottle without being 100% sure... but I don't think I will make that mistake again.. :confused::D

Yes...there are definitely "teachable moments" with these bottles until you learn the lesson. The secret is to put in those extra few seconds. If you get it going wrong and go ahead and screw it down crooked, you're in trouble. I am very careful to make sure that it's threaded on correctly before I put any pressure on it at all to screw it down. I have learned that if you accidentally get it going wrong and still go ahead and tighten it down, trouble. They are so totally worth (IMHO) those extra few seconds....
 
I've never had one leak on me (6 or 7 in use for a long while). The extra second of care mentioned above is all it's taken.

I'm also surprised at how durable the threading has been. It's quite short and the whole bottle is so soft, I would have thought there would be a failure by now, but nope, no such thing.
 
Has anyone received a dud of these bottles or am I just being an idiot?
The juice seems to leak ever so slightly around the bottle and cap.

Any advice or should I just try another bottle?

From what I have read you have to fasten it perfectly aligned. Otherwise it does leak a bit there.

Yip if you don't screw the top on perfectly it does indeed leak there. I have found the best way to refill the bottle is to actually pull the tube off the nipple and have the whole bottle off the device to make sure it seals correctly. Refilling while leaving the tube and cap in place has proved to be a bit of a pain. I have had the bottles for some time and have worked out when the cap is seated perfectly.
 
I'll just add remove and rinse bottle to a fill routine then.
Thanks for the replies.
Was getting nervous because it only seems to have the mild leak in the woodvil.

Yip they are not great in a Woodvil because if you don't seal it correctly (which happens) you get juice on the untreated wood. :confused:

My woodvil has been treated inside :D
Got about 4 coats of tru oil inside. If I don't come right I'll revert back to the normal bottles for her.

I use the 9 ml Vapage bottles in my Woodvils.

I've never had a issue with the new bottles. Also screws on much easier because of the longer pipe. I give it a turn or so and then turn it back again maybe half a turn and then fasten. If it runs smooth all the way to the bottom it's fine. I do think you overfill the bottle perhaps. I leave about 10mm clear, making it easier to tilt the bottle while screwing it on.

Perhaps I'm just having an off day. Will give it a go later.
