Krom,

What has been changed on the AVS to solve this so called problem, mine has never leaked, just wondering

 

[Krom]

Hi Mwa not that it was ever really a problem, mine has never leaked either. Basically the connections have been improved to be completely airtight and the top cap/lid has been modified slightly (bigger threads) so that less force is required to screw it in. I will be trying it out tomorrow when the new stock arrives.

Krom,

When you say the connectors have been made better and are now airtight, what exactly do you mean by this please.??

 

[T-Hefner]

I think a big problem is when someone is screwing there top cap on the AVS, people have CR closed, and then it forces juice into the atty, floods it, and then it all drips down into the overflow tank..... maybe this will be fixed with the above changes??? Not that its that big of a deal, just leave your CR open a pinch when ya put top cap on AVS.....

I am also interested in this....Please explain more Krom...

I just didn't hear about this or any update about this and I'm curious to know the change that would make this system more airtight ???? Krom,????

T-Hefner, yep sounds right but hard not to do it . New tanks are very nice, hopefully no more issues.

A few AVS had a small leakage. I made a tight fit between cap and tank. As for the less force we need for the cap, I made longer threads on the cap so when you start screwing it to the tank threads meet each other before o-ring meets the atomizer so the screwing is very easy.

Will all have the brass bottom now Imeo?

ya, i notice a little leakage coming from my top cap at times, kind of appears as "sweat" on the side of the AVS, i thought that was just the way it was suppose to be

First I've heard of a new cap. I guess we aren't getting any?

 

[HoPeFuLLL]

No Scott, not right but some Vaseline on the top thread usually fixes it (The largest o-ring under the top cap). Tough call for me making it too good a vacuum though, I like a bit of give.

Had 3 Rob, they are very nice. 40 More arriving in Australia very soon.

Imeo, why were we not told about the new AVS changes or told we could order some? I just talked to you yesterday.

yep, that's how i fixed it.. at first i thought it was the o-ring, so i swapped it out with a new one, but a lil vaseline worked, it doesn't leak _all_ the time anymore, just occasionally. I have gotten into the habit of just keeping the device vertical facing down all the time

 

[HoPeFuLLL]

Big issue then pick up one of the new AVS's, big improvement. But with a bit of playing any AVS can be 100%.

 

[scottevil]

i will, if/when rob gets them in stock

I have had one of these for a month now, now that I know what it is,, I don't think it is really that big of a deal for all the people that have an AVS it's nothing to worry about in my opinion, it is only a small tweak, nothing that will greatly affect your vaping what so ever.

MWA, post a picture of it then. Maybe you have not since they haven't been around that long. Still waiting on that picture of your 510 adapter while you're there.

I had no serious reason to say something like this Rob. I would never said anything if Krom didnt mention it. Those AVS would come to you on your next order as usual. They are not different than previous ones
