Innokin Ucann Leaking from the bottom

[onig]

Hi

I started using a new innokin Ucan last week, and kinda like it. Just today though I noticed it's starting to leak at the bottom of the unit, from the button joining the body, wondered if anyone else has had this same problem and whether it was fixable.

thanks

Yeah, same issues here. I'm going to try adjusting the screws tonight, but I think it might just be a not-so-good sealing mechanism/o-ring or whatever it uses.

If it involves o-rings,its just mean that you are using your device with dry o-rings.

Smear a bit of vaseline on the o-rings and re-assemble everything...problem gone,magically!

The thing is when not lubing such seals,it happends that when you tighten stuff,sometimes the o-ring catches an edge and just stretches creating a thinner seal by which liquids may leak,just like with oil filters rubber seals (gotta lube those too before assembly)

okay, still waiting for the supplier to come back to me, it was fine for the first 3 days, then it simply started to leak. Shame as it's a nice container.

thanks, it came pre-assembled will try to see if I have a screwdriver to match, looks like an odd type of screw is used at the bottom.
