The other day when my Reonaut convert came to pick up his second grand the first thing he did was pull the feed tube off the nipple!!! :eek:

Now this has always been a bit of an OCD issue with me and hate it when the tube comes loose after using a REO for sometime... but recently Avril's tube came off and it's not that big a deal anymore and is a whole lot easier to refill the bottle... normally I stuff toilet paper behind the bottle and take it off while it drips onto the bog roll and refill the bottle then place it back and clean up any mess... now that the whole bottle and tube comes off it's a piece of cake to refill on the go without toilet paper being handy.

The tube goes over the nipple fine and there is no leaking and what would have caused me much pain and anguish before is now being seen as a blessing.

Thougts?
 
Mine was off from 1st week! lol . Its so much better to fill the bottles and clean the tubes :p

I do it from day one Rob, and could never understand why Reo owners use fancy glues to fix the tube to the nipple, after all a nipple is not intended for glue!
 
But, guys, where do you put the tube with cap whilst refilling?
 
Now why didn't you all tell me this? Anymore secrets you are holding out on?


Sent from my REO filled with VM Menthol Ice with a drop of coconut!

Apologies Rob, yes one more; we not only vape menthol but other e-juice flavors also work in the Reo :p.
 
So toilet paper behind the tube or toilet paper under the tube - what am I missing?

Under or behind the tube, whether fixed to the nipple or on the table - choice is yours :p.
 
Problem I've noticed with this is when putting it back on. It doesn't seal up perfectly again. Which allows some juice to seep through onto the firing pin. Which cause a complete disassemble and clean more often.
 
So far ive had no problem with me so ill keep doing it till something goes wrong :p I did mange to cause my spring to drop yesterday lol
 
I can understand taking it off to clean the tube when you are changing juices that clash

But taking it off to make it easier to refill doesn't do it for me - since as @Alex points out, you still need toilet roll to put the top cap down on.

So I just fold a small piece of toilet roll about 4 layers thick and put it under the top cap and tube and put the Reo on its side while I am filling the bottle.

No spills inside and its convenient

I think this works well if you using the same juice but i change juices on my grand twice a day so it requires a little more usually
 
lol ive used pliers to push it up temp hahaha im gona change the spring tonight!

I tried a dual triple twisted coil and it bombed out on me hehe
Lol, I have yet to experience that. Love the extra security the spring provides.
 
Reading this thread reminds me of a scene from one of Jeff Dunham's movies where he's talking about going to the fuel station and everyone getting all confused about what to do with the petrol cap. :giggle:
 
I've intentionally tried to drop my spring, but the 28G as well as 0.9 x 0.1 Kanthal burns off every time at the post when I short the coil, and hence no dropped spring.

Hey, no interfering - this is a serious discussion about nipples and tubes and collapses:D

Lol, similar to Super X when he tried to show in one of his videos.
 
Now seriously if a Reo called Angelina Jolie stands in front of me with ..... ..... tubes and springs will collapse.

I hear you Paulie

Definitely needs a clean if you change to a totally different juice.

I tend to stick to the same "family of juices" in each Reo
So one is for tobaccoes, one is for fruits and my Mini is for my VM Choc Mint ;-)
Lol, since May, my Choc Mint mini has only had another juice in it once. And it didnt like it. Must be a record or at least second place after one of @Rob Fisher 's Tropical Ice ladies
