you can use silicon bottles instead of the hard v1 bottles or the too soft v2 bottles that leak after a while.. so its an option to have if you want...also when mine was apart I micro meshed the screen tint off.. so now its nice and bright...Is the the big advantage just unscrewing the bottle instead of pulling it off ?
this is the whole assembly that i changed.. if you look on the link you will see.. it was easier to do that than try and undo that dam thick tube..as the wires are all abit precarious...lol... just took out my v1 plastic inside and stuck in the v3 version...All you really have to do is unscew the 510,pull it off and change out the stem. Then put back together,this is the short version of doing it.
You could also just purchase the V3 with the MAP code at FT for $59.00,or buy the parts separately with shipping and do it.
only took a week for mine to arrive...Looks great but $20.29 CAD (No Bottle Version) and 40-60 day slow boat shipping... I'll stick with the OG bottles as they work fine for me.
I saw the $8 price first and said done, but that is only for the bottle... Which is only $3 on Fasttech for the exact same thing.
That's good to know if I change my mind.only took a week for mine to arrive...
Yes sounds like you have leaking from the 510 connection.. Undo the two two torx screws on the 510 and have a look inside... If you need to look more inside take out the 4 screws from the internal plastic tray...I have a persistent leak in one of my Inboxes.The only place it shows up is at the bottom. No juice visible anywhere else, not even on the bottle or on the plastic tray behind the bottle. I guess that means that it's leaking down inside and coming out at the bottom. I believe I'm gonna have to take out the 4 screws and pull that tray out and see what's in there.

I'd just run a tiny bead of silicone in the corner of that recess for the 510. A pair of silicone o-rings should fix the stem leakage.Looks to be 1 maybe 2 problem areas
1. There was signs of liquid on the recessed area that the 510 sits into. I'm going to have to find some kind of a very thin gasket to go in there. If I can find some kind of a sealant that won't be affected by the liquid, I could spread a thin layer of it here. Any one have any suggestions for this?
2. The two small o-rings on the stem that fits into the tube connection may need to be replaced. I'll have to try and size them to get new ones.

You might get a faster answer from Martin @ HCigar if you message him on FB.Does anyone have a link to hcigar. I'd like to contact them and try to get the o-ring size.
