AFS2 leaking issue

[vapn]

You probably have pierced the center tube and it leaks right out through that part. It is made of some pretty thin cardboard and it is sooooooo easy to pierce. I messed up a few of them like that. Try another cartomizer and also take off your oring on the very bottom on the brass part. You might also try taking off the oring on the top caps.

My MOM has always told me I was a good boy, and we all know Momma is always right

Mamas are always right. Now you said the right words Light!!!!

Al Capone's mama was saying the same of course, I am sure

He can remove only those o-rings that arrows shows Keith

i'll try to remove the o-rings and see how it goes. It looks like it's leaking only with the attys, but not with a carto. I tried with a I6 at 6V, and is much better than on I3 - on I6 i do get a nice TH.

also can someone tell be what's the difference between :
GG i6 AFSv1 iAtty - 901 - Cloud 9 Vaping
and
Vapor Kings - JOYE 510, JOYE EGO, DSE801, RN4072, DSE901, RN4075, RN4062 and KR808D-1 e-Cigarette batteries, atomizers, cartomizers, e-Liquid, accessories and more!

they are both I6 but VaporKings say they are for AFSv2 and Cloud9 say they are not ...
confusing ...

Imeo, I removed the top Oring and the bottom Oring, I also took my bottom one and put it in the second position to replace the one on the second cap.!! seems to work great my friend.

Thankfully, my last modded carto appears to be a winner!

Cool Clyde!! When you do find one they work well. My first 2 were good..but they got weak so I swapped them out and hit like 3 more in a row that just weren't up to snuff! I've also found that where I could run just a straight carto for a week or two before it just didn't vape right...with the AFS I get about 3 days max before the filler just seems to fail inside. It's not that's it burning it, just seems like it's been so saturated it just doesn't want to wick anymore. I'm letting a few dry out really well and maybe they'll run again..dunno yet on that one.

 

[wolflrv]

i'm also curious..just for info...on folks having the leak problem..are you all actually removing the bottom atty o-ring each time and sliding it back over the atty before seating the brass piece back in the tank? I always remove the atty..blow it out..reconnect to brass piece..then roll the o-ring back over it and seat it well..then insert whole setup back into tank and snug down well. And CR is always closed the whole time too.

Reason I ask is I tried just leaving the bottom atty o-ring up inside the bottom of the tank once and everything went back together ok...but when I started to fill I noticed the juice disappearing as I was dripping it in there. I stopped and sucked the juice back out of the tank..disassembled it again and the bottom brass was flooded along with my atty. So I don't think the bottom atty o-ring seated very well.

Just wondering if that could be the problem?

 

[mwa102464]

I do it just like you say in your first paragraph, not the second Wolf

 

[wolflrv]

but yours isn't flooding is it mwa?

 

[mwa102464]

Wolf, I cant say I have never had a leak but I'm not flooding, most lately I have taken the very bottom big Oring off and placed it on the second cap and removed the thin one that was there with this thicker one from the bottom and my AFS is working better than ever. Maybe its just this Atty you have on, how long have you been vaping with it.??
Maybe you just have a funky Atty.?? Try another Atty.!!.. I dont seem to have many of the issues some have had, maybe because I am use to Imeo's custom innovation since I have been with him for so long I'm not sure, it's kind of like sometimes less is more for me with Imeo's stuff, I dont try to reinvent his wheels, and just do as he says and it works unless I really see something that might improve something I will let him know. The AFS is not your simple ECig unit, it is a bit custom and has a bit of a learning curve I would say. Just dont get flustered buddy, AFS works and works awesome, hang in the Wolf you will get it I promise you and when you do you will say OMG this is awesome.!!

 

[wolflrv]

I'm not having any issues mwa...I'm vaping the AFS just fine! I've worked with both the cartos and the 901..I just happen to prefer the vapor and taste on the 901 setup. I was trying to help out some others who are having the problem like Clyde and mick37. I'm not reinventing the wheel either..I've watched all of Imeo's and Rob's videos and everything is working great!

 

[mwa102464]

OK Wolf, I didnt mean that to be a cut I was thinking you where doing something different buddy and thats why you where flooding. sometimes its such a simple fix buddy, like I said maybe it's just that Atty, have you switched it out.?? I like the 901 also as well as a 510 and a carto, dam I just like em all.!!!

 

[wolflrv]

it only happened to me once when I didn't put the o-ring on first. Other than that I've had zero leaks or flooding. I've worn out a couple of cartos..but that's normal. My 901 atty has been in use for 3 solid days now..about 7 tanks so far..and still going very strong. But that was my question was trying to determine if the folks having the problem were maybe just leaving the bottom atty o-ring up in the tank..and it was causing it to seat funny and then leak and flood. That's the only way I've had a leak that one time on mine...other than that it works great!

 

[mwa102464]

Wolf, it's late and im dizzy, I was chatting with another guy who was having a flooding issue and I think I got you mixed up, sorry buddy

 

[wolflrv]

it's ok..np...I'm about to snooze myself... Gonna tuck in my GGTS #180 and get some sleep..it is ok to sleep with your GG isn't it? LOL!

 

[mwa102464]

Wolf, some nights my chick thinks im nuts because I wanna sleep with my GG too, it's OK buddy really it is

 

[mick37]

it's really confusing - i took the rings out and the leaking is worse ...
if the rings were not supposed to be there, why the manufacturer put them ??
is this thing supposed to work when we buy it or we are some kind of testers for future products ??

I bought an item, payed a lot of money for it - if it's leaking at the first use isn't this a warranty issue ? I assume it's not supposed to leak, so who covers the warranty for this ?

not happy, again ...

Mike, I will tell you some steps to follow

1) Disassemble and clean all the parts of AFS

2) Put again the o-rings you took out

3) Put an atomizer on the brass connector

4) put the o-ring through the atomizer by having a plastic mouthpiece attached on the atomizer

5) Screw very well the brass connector

6) Close CR and fill the tank with liquid

7) Close the cap

8) Take out the mouthpiece and turn upside down the GG so liquid inside atty will come out

9) You can also cut a rounded 14mm scotch brite sponge and make a hole inside at 8mm. Then put it around the 4 holes of the brass connector. It will keep inside it the liquid that goes out of the atty

Do them and we speak again Mike

Sounds to me like you are not getting the brass part tight enough. That is supposed to push and squeeze the oring around the base of the atty and seal it off.... If the oring is on the brass part at the base it keeps the brass part from screwing far enough to compress the oring and squeeze it on the base of the atty. The same goes for the small cap on the top. I don't think those orings were in the original design but imeo put them there to make the unit look better over all but then found that they were causing problems. This is still a new product and we are trying to iron out the kinks.

Now here is what I have found with the 901 atty and the V2. IF they come from the factory with a very light airy draw they are going to flood on you easily and in turn leak out the CR. Tighter drawing atties from the factory work PERFECTLY every time. Cartomizers work pretty well too but you still have to fiddle a little bit to keep em wet. I have learned to use the top cap to fill the cartomizer when it runs dry. Simply unscrew the cap a little bit and screw it back down while watching the filler material fill up. Once you see wetness on the top surface of the filler material it is good to go again.

Hope you get it figured out cause it really does save a lot of messing around with carts and dripping. There are a few things to learn and once you have it mastered you will not want to use anything else. Trust me...

Mick, the oring on the brass connector is exactly what we need if you bought the AFS at the second round. That means that if o-ring is 1,5mm then put it again, its better.

Do the rest as Keith said and tight the brass connector on AFS!
