Any ideas to stop liquid from coming out when the Stone or Stardust tips over?

[lizblue]

Perhaps its just the way it is. I really love these 2 products. The only drawback I've found is when I put them away in my little stash bag, they often will fall over on their sides and then liquid comes out. I hate wasting liquid. When the juice gets up to the top metal ring (the one you screw off to fill) it seems to seep out. If there were a special bag to store these in, I would buy one. Say with little pockets that would keep them in place. I'll try to put a piece of tape around the top to see if that does anything. Just wondering how others are doing with this. Perhaps Gotvapes can take this into account when they do what they do to get upgrades. Maybe the manufacturers can put a seal around the top or something.

well as far as the stardusts....the ones i have are leakproof. unless you lost the gasket the drip tip goes down into when you screw it on, or if you did't screw it on all the way

I've never had my stardust leak. In fact, I thought I'd lost mine and found it in a jacket pocket (on the ego) last night. It had been in there for weeks and I know that jacket made it from one end of the house to the other before it wound up in the closet, and no leaks (thank god, it was my good leather jacket!). The stone I have is the version I, and it leaks from the bottom threads sometimes, but I think they solved that with the vision II.

Stardusts shouldn't leak. I do occasionally get a tiny bit of juice in the drip tip but that could be from condensation or over-wicking. Certainly, I've never had it seep out.

If it is, possibly a gasket fell out while cleaning or something. Check and make sure there's a gasket on the mouthpiece. There's also a small gasket inside the mouth opening (but I've had those fall out and no leaking). Also there's a gasket on the base but that can only come out if you pull off the tank.

I hate to say this, guys, but, much as I adore the Stardust, it can leak.

What can happen is that if the inner gasket comes out (not the one on the drip tip but the one inside the opening of the carto itself), and the liquid gets up to the top (if it's very full and you lay it down, say), the juice wicks right up the threads and outside. The gasket on the drip tip doesn't always stop it. And on some of them, if you screw the drip tip on really really tight to try and prevent that, it pushes the "hat" seal down too far and it screws up the wicking.

Been there done that, got wet fingers. That inner gasket is not quite useless.

The stardust can also leak if when you are refilling, you cant over the inner air tube. Then when you screw the cap on, it doesn't seal right. Rather easily fixed, but it can happen.

Don't you have some solution involving peroxide for this?

Nope, not this time This one involves a luer lock needle bottle

Just call me queen of peroxide...duchess of luer lock needle bottles.

(and thats not even ALL my luer lock needle bottles )

Oh. WOW. Your Highness, I am SO impressed! I have a looooooong time to go to reach such bounty...

DIY experiments steep better/faster in these because the air can get in without the added risk of having a bottle sitting there without the lid on all the way, lol. Gotta admit though, many of those are failed experiments I haven't emptied out yet

Fantastic! Another wonderful idea! You are coming down with geniusness. It's a condition that strikes unpredictably, and that has no known cure. But it's not contagious.

I'll get me lots of those too. I don't do DIY, but I buy juices sometimes that take a month to steep. This will work great. And they won't spill juice all over the place if they fall on the floor, will they...

I discovered this on accident. I have one of the plastic tip bottles for filling my vornado and I put some diy juice in there. It seems like it steeps 3x faster in that bottle than my little screw-cap 10mL juice bottles! I plan on ordering more, and I'm also always knocking bottles over and the luer lock one hasn't leaked any juice once!
