a video would be a great idea Funky. Please do it:)
Oh my friend, I'm calm like lip balm, and I appreciate all of your help. I just don't like when things don't work. I don't think screwing in a brass or aluminium tipped carto/atty changed anything, Imeo's products are much more solid. I appreciate the offer but the reason I want to get rid of it is because I can't stand waiting for things, it drives me bonkers that I haven't been able to use my favourite ecig in almost two weeks now. I literally have no patience for anything, at all. I know it's an awful anti-virtue to have but that's just me :D

I would never tear a family member's head off, and I still have a huge GG surprise for everybody, including Imeo, that I think you are all going to go bonkers for :D Should be ready to show in June.





Yes they are good now. I took the whole thing apart down to the teeny tiny O'rings and double-checked that everything is in place. The only thing I have changed was adding a #8 O'ring and replacing the two #4s. Am I right that the #4s have nothing to do with juice coming out of the air holes?

Something is happening between the atty and the UFS Base / Bottom Cup because when I put water or VG in there with the juice control closed all the way it leaks, no matter what Cartos or Atties I try. I will try to make a video when I get time, maybe that will help get to the bottom of this mystery.

I really appreciate everybody's input, I wish I could get my UFS working again, it used to be my favourite vaping tool.

Currently filming the video. Everything seems to be working this time around. Stripped the UFS right down, cleaned, lubed... Re-assembled it in the video, Fresh carto (pre-filled by me). Currently giving it some time to see if the issue can be repeated. Will keep the thread posted and post the final video when I can.

2 Things first it looks like you are missing the top o-ring. Second did you ever pull the pin out a bit when you put the carto on to make sure it seats all the way. Granted I don't think you need to because you showed it sat flush but the top o-ring missing is a big issue.

The top O-ring for the Top cap? As in the one that hugs the carto/drip tip area? If so, I've got one in there, I just didn't have it sitting on the paper because I lubed it with Vaseline and it would have been messy and slippery :D

The carto usually pushes the pin down just a touch, not so with an atty.

Yeah that is the one I was referring to. Damn I was hoping that was it I've taken that o-ring out for testing and it leaked like that so I was hoping that was the issue.

Yeah, haha. You had me all excited too. I was hoping for an easy fix, and I know I over-look the easy stuff all the time.

Nice, clear video, FunkyVapes.

Are you using the same make and batch of carto every time?

I know there should not be any issues with the Boge but I'm wondering if you have a bad batch? They seem to be the common factor when you get the leakage. Also, when you leave the UFS to sit for a while, can you see any juice soaking up over the wadding and making it's way down the centre tube?

Edit: I only just noticed you have decided to sell or trade it on. Good luck with it buddy.

Thanks dude. I was using two different cartos, which I didn't realize. Some from Bruce, some from CanVape. Bruce told me that the ones from COV weren't Boges, and I can't be sure aboot the CanVape ones, but I'm almost certain they aren't either, as nothing on their site seems to be genuine.

I don't see the juice soaking through, as I either have the cap on, or I'm not watching it, haha. It is an interesting idea though, but I still think it was leaking through the juice flow control.

In any case I am selling it for $220.00 which is damn-near what I paid for it and less than the parts would cost from COV currently. Going to instantly buy an Ody with expansion when the deal is done :D

Juice soaking up, over and down through the centre is a pretty long shot to be honest. If it was doing that you would get a fair amount of gurgling which I don't think you have.

As for your UFS selling price, it's much more than a fair price. I hope you can get the Ody you are looking for and I look forward to seeing you make more videos showing the new Ody adventures of FunkyVapes :)

funky, I was almost sure that you didnt put an o-ring between 2 caps until you said that you did. But I also saw that this o-ring didnt move at all when you put the cap on the UFS body. That seems like a thin o-ring that doesnt seal the UFS. Maybe its the o-ring that comes with the atomizer extensions I made for UFS? UFS requires this o-ring only when you put the atomizer extension on it but it requires its original o-ring when you dont put the atomizer extension on the atomizer.

Original o-ring has a smaller diameter and its fatter too. The original is 9/2 and the o-ring for the atomizer extender is 10x1,5. You have to have the 9/2 o-ring on the UFS in your configuration

Dear Science! You're right!

I used the new O'ring when I purchased the extenders, but I forgot to put the original one back on when I used the cartos!

It must not be making a tight-enough seal! You have a keen eye and of course you're a genius. I am going to try it out with the proper O'ring and let you know via a video if it works!

Well this is odd. I dozed off for two hours after that last post, and went back to check on the UFS. It looks as though I only lost about 3mm, which is substantially less than before (it would have been empty before) and I only vaped on it for about a minute before I fell asleep.

Definitely a huge improvement and I think I would be comfortable saying the case is closed, as the carto "sucking" up some juice might account for some of the discrepancy, as the juice control was open for a few seconds while I was vaping.
