I've heard about a couple of fixes for the leaking from the GS Air Base and one was closing it off with a toothpick for a cure. I tried it and it just saturated the toothpick and made more of a mess.
I thought about using Silicone Sealant, so my friend Cheech tried it out since he had a cabinet full of assorted sealants. The best one, in my opinion is one that you use on your tub. So, we had to figure an easy way to get the stuff in there. Since we DIY juices, a syringe came up fairly quick for an idea. Easy enough!
That works like a charm and clean up is simple with a couple of Q-Tips and maybe a paper towel, if needed.
Tools (very simple and cheap):
-Q-Tips
-3cc luer slip syringes
-16 Gauge polypropylene hub needles
Syringes and needles can be found at Tractor Supply.
-Tube of 100% silicone (preferably white because it's much easier to see it, unlike the clear)
Home Depot, Lowes, etc.. in the paint section.
Just take out the plunger of the syringe and fill it with around 1ml of silicone, then reinstall the plunger and you're ready to fill. Fill very slowly, from the bottom pin of the base while watching the sealant overflow a tad through the inside of the base. It only takes a split second to fill, obviously because of the hole being so small.
Carefully wipe clean with a Q-Tip and/or some napkins.
Let the silicone cure for about 24 hours and you're ready to vape again, without any mess.
If anyone has had problems with leakage in the past, it might be a good idea to clean inside and around the firing pin on the battery thoroughly. If you have excess in there from past leakage, you might be fooled and assume that it is still leaking out of the GS Air base.
Happy vaping Airheads!
