Extremely Stiff Juice control on Penelope?

[Devonmoonshire]

Not sure what is going on but it looks as if the O Ring in the cap of my Penelope has swollen some how. It is almost impossible to turn the mouthpiece to adjust the juice control. Has anyone else experienced this??

Any and all help on this would be greatly appreciated;

I think that relates to #29 in Imeo's post here- http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/300284-reviewing-penelope-tips-tricks.html#post6205343Lots of good tips there, of course!
Lube the o-ring a bit if you haven't, and back off/loosen the top cap just a bit to relieve the pressure a bit

And this is why I love being a member of the GG Family, Thank you so very much Moshmarr, You are indeed a lifesaver, I searched for three hours trying to find a thread with exactly that information on it. Maybe the search function here needs a little tweak LOL

That did fix it, I did not know that it was okay for the top cap not to be flush with the tank body so the grip of the o ring was just too tight

You also need to apply every time it is cleaned. When I clean mine with hot water only it is just gone after the hot water. I reapply the lube to all o-rings. Better safe then sorry.

Will Do Gotta make sure I remember to do that because I have a container of veseline for just that purpose

Thank you so much I always thought that the Vaseline would contaminate the juice so I never put it on the cap O Ring.

After cleaning my Penny, as a lubricant, I always just apply whatever juice I am putting in the tank onto the o-ring.
