I wonder if an o-ring could be put between the base and the threaded plastic bit, and would it solve this minor seepage.

I don't see why not, although it would have to fit through the top hole. I may have some around that would work if I end up seeing leakage.
Ya, I think sealing it at the top would be better than catching it at the bottom.
just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. If you have the money and patience purchase the AC9. if not buy the clone. moral stance i suppose to each their own.
Not sure what you mean by "moral stance"...if you are implying that purchasing this poduct is somehow immoral ...?

I hardly have enough patience to receive things that are in stock lol...
I PM'd Riptrippers and Vapinaze about this. Both said they are coming out with a new sleeve that goes on the center post, where it screws down to the atty deck. According to them, they should have it on the Vapinaze site soon. In the meantime, Rip suggested using the insulator from an Aga
Obviously, the leak has to be coming from the top deck. I guess the trick would be to determine whether it's coming from between the outside of the top grommet and the deck, or between the hole in the grommet and the center post.
I tried it with a Aga-t silicone insulator on top, even put orings between the tube and the top platform. It still leaked. The leaking is not that bad, I can live with it. I just get annoyed by anything that leaks. Heck, my ebaron dripper leaks often also, but I got used to it. I think I just have to not tilt so much using this atty.
I think that's probably the best solution; not tilting as much.
I read something that Rip wrote in a youtube comment about it being condensation. He didn't come right out and say it was condensation as opposed to actual juice leaking. And of course, they are updating the device to eliminate this "condensation" and also the threading problem. Do you guys thinking that you're experiencing actual juice leakage or could it be condensation leaking out of the center tube?
idk i keep getting i think juice on the connector not enough to really care about though because the vape is so great. finally got my 28g kanthal in and wrapped a new coil and put a fat wick in the rsst tonight (90mm wide). I thought this thing was great before but now omg this thing is rocking!
Whichever it is, juice or condensation, I have about 12 RBAs in rotation, and the AC9 is the only one that's experiencing it.
I really don't think they can design it to eliminate condensation. It's the result of the vapor meeting the cooler walls of the top cap "bell". It's just a characteristic of the genesis design.
Not sure if any have seen this so just posting to spread the love. Really cheap 30g Kanthol here:
Kanthal Wire 30 Gauge RW0107 - 100 FT 0.39oz Series A-1 Resistance AWG
Kanthal Wire 30 Gauge RW0107 - 100 FT 0.39oz Series A-1 Resistance AWG
they had free shipping on it about 2 weeks ago. I dont use 30g or I would have purchased a couple hundred feet. If it were 28, I would have been all over it.
For those of u that coil ur rsst with 28g. How many wraps are u doing usually?
I use 4/3 on everything but sometimes I use a 3/2. It just depends on what device I am using it on. If I am using a device that seems to have a higher voltage drop, I wrap 3/2 as it needs more umph.
