These are the ones with ORings. Search for the screw in ones if you want to replace the ones in your K5, that's a threaded DT.
These are the treaded drip tips. Fits my v5 perfectly

I didn't have problem with 1 ohm, but didn't care for sub-ohm like .8 or .7 ohm. My usual build is around 1.5 ohm as well.
I think he meant to say V3 read back a few post...Very nice, but I still don't know what "VA" stands for or whether that's a V5 or a Mini V3.
Kayfun 5 leaking fix.. The ultimate solution.
Picture is self explanatory..
Try it and thank me later.
Love that method!
Been building all my Kayfuns like this for a long time...I never knew it would solve leaking issues for others!
I will give that a shot. ThanksKayfun 5 leaking fix.. The ultimate solution.

I've never done that and never had a Kayfun of any kind leak on me. Guess some people are just lucky with Kayfuns. Wish it would translate into the lottery.
How do you get the K5 to leak in the first place pls?Kayfun 5 leaking fix.. The ultimate solution.

well, if your wicks set on the deck even a very small amount, or press against the deck from swelling, leaking will occur...
giving your wicks proud shoulders and using the noted technique to ensure your wicking enters the well straight down with no laying over onto the deck alleviates any issues...i also find that thinning the wick that enters that chamber also alleviates any swelling of the wick and seepage onto the deck from too much wicking...
it does work
My problem is ~ I tried. I have tried wick placement in many ways. Different wicking materials as well. I just cannot make the K5 leak
What I'm thinking is the coil is too close to the air hole. The juice goes from the wick, to the coil, then links to the air hole and out.
Yes, the only way to leak it is to flood it. That is, pump enough liquid into the chamber that it runs down the base's central air channel and out the AFC holes. But the K5 is so designed that it is impossible to flood it (during 'normal' operation/s) unless you're using it 'without' a wick.
And that situation could be replicated with a feeble wick. Which is to say, the cotton or rayon is so measly that it swells up beyond its 'holding' stage/capability (and all the while the atty remaining unused, meaning no draws or atomization) and thus continued liquid build-up inside the chamber starts to trickle down the base's central air channel. Or starts dropping from the coil into the airhole below, like you suggested.
Another way to flood it is to have prolonged use of the same wick. Which will make the coil & wick so gunked up that it is atomizing poorly. That is, there will be more liquid than it can be vaporated. So you'll have excessive liquid build-up in the chamber. And like said before, it starts to drop down thru the central air channel.
In any case, if you are 'using' the K5 'normally'. That is, you are vaping it, have a modest amount of wicking material inside the coil, the JC is not unusually open - and you know what airflow & JC you need for your juice viscosity and type of draw ~ it will not flood. At least I could not make it to flood. Thus couldn't make it leak. Ever. And tons of K5 users around the globe (over many forums) couldn't either.
With a counterfeit and/or someone new to rebuilding - it could be another case. And same was the story in our erstwhile KFL thread.
Conclusion: The K5 does not leak, if you know what you're doing.
Inactivity will certainly cause a leak. But a number of days has to pass. But eventually, inactivity will cause a leak.
BTW, this is the case with most/all attys. RDAs included.

Same here... In 2 months of service, mine has yet to leak. I've let it sit with partial tanks for a few days where temps have exceeded 85 deg (f) in my apartment and not a drip. I took it to work a few times where it's sat in my vehicle in 95 degree weather, nothing...My problem is ~ I tried. I have tried wick placement in many ways. Different wicking materials as well.

Mine just refuses to leak, must be a dud....
Since we are on the issue of leaking, before I had the MTL kit I didn't face any issues. But after using the MTL kit mine leaked quite significantly.
After using the method shared by angah83 it is now leak free again. Thanks for the insight and I hope this piece of information helps other users.
