it happened again last night except this time it didn't leak from both ends. It was only leaking from the bottom this time. Not even a single drop came out of the drip tip.really makes me wonder what is going on
Greetings travis,
I'm having the same issue, bottom leaks not thru the drip tip. I have wicked and re wicked,followed pbusardo's video to the letter. Still no joy. the bummer is, it's great and doesn't leak when in use, just don't set it down... LOL. and even this

@dfwbill
does yours only do the leaking when its more than half full? Or does it do it all the time?

Do you guys think maybe it could be because of how my wick it setup it is just kissing the deck? Should I try making a longer wick using the bunny ear method? Or maybe just try covering the channels more?
It's coming out the air holes in the base of the tank so I could only assume that means it's coming from the deck
Try to make sure when you screw on the first part of the chimney, make sure you havnt disrupted how the wick lays on the deck, if it does, you can readjust it from there with a small screwdriver. Just be careful to not pack it down into the juice channels. That's how I've been able to make sure my kayfun builds don't leak, might cure the flooding issue as well.
Yes I've made sure there are gaskets on both ends of the glass.
Nova jon, so are you saying I shouldn't have my wick covering the juice channels at all?

From my understanding the lemo deck is a bigger version of a kayfun deck. I don't have the lemo yet but plan on getting one! I would apply the same principals with wicking. I do the bunny ear deal.
Wick the coil, put on the first section of the chimney, cut slightly above the top, remove the section of chimney, wet the wicks and gently push them down to the deck. Reinstall the first part of the chimney, looking down thru that section, make sure you still have the deck covered by the wick as sometes when you screw on that first section of the chimney, you have a tendency to slightly move the wick. Just readjust the wick so you have total coverage across the deck again but not jamming it down to pack the wick onto the deck.
Those little things have helped me get a consistant build on my kayfun and should work with the lemo as well I would think!
Not into the juice channels, just total coverage across the deck. Just trying to figure out how your juice is leaking and this is what I could think it might be!

You have to be doing something horribly wrong to get a Lemo to leak.
Either you are over filling it and flooding the chamber (I have done this) leave a little space when filling.
or
You have the airflow closed damn near off and sucking excess juice into chamber like a straw flooding the chamber
or
You didn't put the fill screw back in (I did this once)

Just put my kayfun in a bath. Was going to rebuild tonight but I think I will just donate it to a friend. Wonder if I should wait for the drop to hit retail sites or just order full size and hold out hope they offer a "drop kit". Sorry for hijacking the thread.
well how much is over filling it? i use the fill screw so filling upside down i fill it to about half-way, while its upside down tho, which ends up basically being just barely to the top of the glass when i flip it back over. and my air flow is all the way open

Without actually seeing it I can only speculate, but I can tell you it's definitely not normal for a Lemo to leak at all.
For some reason you are flooding the chamber, but again without seeing it I'd only be guessing.
So my Lemo also leaks. Everything is tight but juice is coming out of the air holes. Very disappointed.
sounds like the same thing that is happening to me. is it happening to you all the time? Or just when you have the tank filled up all the way?
