My Vision Stone appears to be leaking though the center post. When I screw in the top cap it pushes the center post downward and it allows the juice to leak where the center post seal is at the connector end. I end up with a good amount of juice in my mouth and juice pools in the battery connector. If I push the center post up and don't use the top cap, only the DT on the silicone seal, it vapes the way it should - no leaks. As soon as I screw the top cap on, even if it's only a turn, the leaking begins. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Bearing in mind I haven't done this. But the only thing I can think to do is take it apart and then clean and dry it. Then use some clear silicone caulk/aquarium sealant around the center post. It might work, but you would want to let it cure overnight before refilling.
Stef64 and burns_erin, I had a similar problem last tuesday. One my V. Stones seems to leak on occasions rather profusely. After a few days of analyzing it that I figured it to be leaking from the polymer seal-insulator in the center post. This is what's causing the slurpy noise when I draw, exactly like a straw sounds on a slurpy drink. I did exactly what burn suggested. I applied enough silicone rubber (RTV) on a new unused one to cover the whole sealing area from the inside and let it cure for 24 hrs. I forgot about it and then my son casually said that his is using a lot of liquid and leaking also but he did not elaborate, then I remembered the one I sealed with RTV seven days ago. I am going to try it tomorrow morning and see what happens. I believe the center pin is too far extended out that when it is screwed on snugly into the PV (Provari) and EGO the pin is being shoved beyond the limit the seal could handle thus deforming the seal and causing it to leak. The manufacturer of this unit overlooked this problem rather carelessly, in my opinion. I do not know if you guys remember the first one (type I)? It did not have any "O" rings at all when Igotvape previewed it on the video. Note: I screwed it tightly on an ego batt and then applied the RTV so it will not have any stress on the RTV during the actual use.

I had leaking exactly as you describe when I first used my stone version 1 than I tried pushing down the cup a little and than reseating the pin by pushing it in on a hard surface with the cap off than rescrewing the cap in carefully, suddenly no more leaking at all, no gurgling and no juice in my mouth, it now vapes perfectly. That was my solution.
