E-juice leaking into battery compartment

[boywil]

Good day everyone. Just got my SS GGTS and just love vaping with it. So smooth and elegant to use. I am using a 306HR atty in 6.4V. I noticed some juice leaking from the collector cap's bottom side into the battery compartment. Not really sure if juice is coming from the polygonal or from the thread near the hole. What could be the problem here? Problem with the O-ring maybe? Would appreciate any inputs on my observation. Is this normal? Thanks and happy vaping!

I had the same issue when I first got my UFS. Take the whole pin assembly and plastic piece out. Take it all apart. There should be 2 tiny orings. Clean, inspect, and lube the orings. Start with the pin, put on the flat metal nut, and then the 2 tiny o-rings. After you push those to the base of the pin, put on the plastic piece. You may have to work it past the tiny o-rings. Screw the plastic piece and the flat metal nut hand tight as hard as you can without stripping. There should now be resistance on the pin, but it should still slide up and down. Now screw the whole unit into the catch tank and you should be good to go.

Boy, did you try to put off the center pin and then you tried to push it back again? Because it doesnt work this way, so you damaged the tiny o-rings inside

Like Imeo said! This is the exact problem I encountered, but a kind member helped me out! My o-rings had snapped, so he sent me some. Also found out that the see through lighters have an o-ring inside of them near the thumb button. Very helpful.

Thank you so much for all the information. It really helps to have kind brothers in this great community of GG lovers. Thanks too to imeothanasis for such a great mod. The Best! Happy Vaping...am now waiting for my UFS to arrive.

Yes absolutely! Think of the O-rings like the tires on a car. It may be the best thing going but without them, you aren't going to get anywhere!

There are several good vendors and many if not most of us keep a few spares of the most used rings on hand. Better to order a few and keep on hand than to wait until you need new ones because as the GGTS is designed, you can't much use it without those O-rings in place.

Not true Mythbusters drove on rims. And even on manhole covers!!

But yes these o'rings are very important.

Point taken. I guess with manhole covers, you don't have to worry about rotating your "tires" or a flat either!

Nope although your contact patch isn't all that big so handling sucks lol
