I am using a 2.5 ohm HH 357 on a Vaprlife Diamante and it is incredible. A couple of days ago I had my Diamante in my pocket and somehow separated the atty connector from the out side sleeve. This did not break any of the wire connections and I was able to put the sleeve back on the atty and it still works great. My problem is now when I drip into the atty it leaks from the connector / sleeve joint. Can I use locktite or something else to seal around the joint that is not a health risk.

That's a tough one. I don't know the answer. There are heat resistant epoxies for metals, but I do not know if any residual compounds will vaporize into your lungs. These are meant for engines, not inhalation devices. If the atty is new, you might be able to get it replaced, as that should not have happened. And the VL may well want the info if others in the lot are also of bad construction. A silicone glue would be heat resistant, but can also release compounds upon heating if it is not 100% cured.

Personally I would contact VL, and either see about getting it replaced, or just buy a new one. Their take may be, and they would be correct, that all attys are considered disposable. And if you really like them, get a few for backup.
