what is this leak fix? i looked back in the thread but i can't seem to see what you all are talkin about. mine doesn't leak but, i want to be prepared should it leak down the road

All cups are not created equal as there is appears to be slight tolerances in them. The center pin fits in some cups fine (nice and tight) but on other cups the center pin fits loose. If the center pin does not fit firmly into the cup then it may leak. I have about 8 cups right now that I can't use because the center pin sits in them to loose.

Kataphraktos is testing using a little extra NR wire that appears, thus far at least, to fix the issue..

Cool! Are you using a cup that had leaked before?

Yup.
It wasn't a bad leak but enough to keep 510 wet

wouldnt a good seal on the nut inside the ceramic serve the same purpose? also you can set that nut so it will drain therough the bottom and the juice can be re-wicked? personally i have my nut set so no juice can get by the nut. am i missing something here? its the flange on the nut seated on the bottom of the ceramic that creates the seal, correct?

or are you guys syaing that the juice goes down the threads of the nut around the center pin thread and leaks out the post? maybe i'm just dense

Nut inside the ceramic??????

These are the ceramic cups we are talking about..

What I have found, and a few others as well, is that if the pin does not fit tightly into the bottom of the ceramic cup then leaks will occur. If the pin fit tightly then most will not have any leaks at all..

man, do I feel stupid! I'm thinking of the Ithaka... I just got both recently and am still learning, got the threads mixed up... DOH

No worries man.. Sometimes we have too much gear and confuse ourselves.. I do it all the time! LOL

Any of you built your Diver with only kanthal? What were your results?

For a moment I thought I had gone nuts... Good one there - ya Nelson

I have with no issues.. Some say the legs could get too hot and toast the delrin but I never had that happen..

I have since moved on and am using a NR/R/NR setup but I pimped it with regular ole' 30g kanthal for about 3 weeks..

 

[raqball]

Update: vaped the tank to empty and refilled. Like a fool, I filled it to about 98% capacity, so of course a few drops fled out the bottom. I vaped off a bit of the juice to get a bit of air in the tank. I've been vaping it on-and-off today, about half-way down the tank, and still dry.

So I decided to test out a leaky cup tonight with the method you are using...

The cup I used had previously leaked worse than an old Russian submarine.... But.... So far at least, only a dibble of juice out the bottom. I will tear it down tomorrow and try a better build and see if I can get the dribble to go away.

It is a big improvement though

As I have mentioned Nacho buddy. It can be done but you will end up melting the delrin ring inside the diver base in a matter of time(otherwise it wouldn't be part of the build instruction from Boss K). They are a beaach to replace. The NR's job is to insulate what is not to get hot.

When I first got mine, I've build coils with 30AWGs and 28AWGS non NR setup.

You might be able to get away with it if you're not running low ohms like 1.3 and above.

I've since gotten the welder and been micro-coiling mine at 1.0ohm. The flavor/heat/TH is astounding! Oh and I also uses cottons as wick

Very Correctly advised by IdBro.

Great! I, too, have been vaping it on-and-off, and the most I get is a tiny bit of juice on the connector after many hours of non-use.

If this is the worst it gets with a horrid ceramic, I'm perfectly satisfied. A few more days of this, and a repeat test with different ceramics and tanks, and I will consider this resolved.

I will then try the long wick setup with this trick, and see what the combination does - besides the fact that the long wicks improve flavor, and are a permanent fixture in my regular Diver build for me.

Diver NR loop fix for leaky ceramic

ok cool, thx for posting that. it all makes sense now! however, mine doesn't leak at all! atleast not yet anyhow... oh and doing it the way you are, that would help keep the pin straighter and i suspect that has a little to do with it too.

 

[Kataphraktos]

Most people do not have any leaking issues with the Diver. I have 4 Divers, and none are consistently leaky. It's the individual ceramics that determine if you have issues. You probably have good ceramics. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

One point to note: when putting the Diver together, a key indicator as to whether it isn't done properly is how easily the ceramic slides onto the brass pin. If there isn't a lot of resistance, if it doesn't feel like it is getting jammed in a bit, it will in all likelihood leak.

I just had this happen to me. I quickly pulled it out, fiddled with the NR end looping into the bottom of the cup, which had not gone in right (because i was in a hurry), and reinstalled. I've chain vaped about a third of an SnP tank, with perfect juice feeding, zero gurgling and a bone-dry Diver base and 510 connector.

Don't throw away what could be a perfect Diver build because it was too lose on the pin. Adjusting that NR wire should do the trick.

Hello everyone, new poster, 4 month lurker on ecig forums.

Vaping has been great. I've given up on the analogs and more importantly, stayed off them.

I'm excited to get my 2 Scuba tanks and 2 Divers. I've been using solely Protanks V1 since I started vaping 4 months ago. Finally got sick of the mid tank gurgle, leaky connector pin and negative pressure issues I experienced with them.

Looking forward to building my first coil!
