Juice getting into the battery chamber?

[TheSneakerHoarder]

The new to me SS GGTS is leaking juice into the telescope soaking my battery.

Where would I look for the leak? All o-rings are in place and good looking...

Maybe one is missing?

I'm just using an atty right now--nothing fancy.

 

[Bishopheals]

you may well be over flooding the Atty. I would do the following:

Remove battery and start to clean it up. then clean the collector tank portion. you can look at one of my vids on how to do that. just the first 10 minutes should show you how to do it.



also leave the aire control mid way open when using a atty and no adapters is needed.

does the pin move real easy? (the one that connect battery to atty) if so you may be missing the 2 tiny o-rings in there or could be missing.

u may want to clean out the firing pin as well

here is a video showing you how to open it up and then just clean it with hot water and dry it off with paper towel. add some Vaseline to the two small o rings before sealing it up.

thats what i was trying to say..firing pin...just drew a blank what was called. thanks bishop

Its all good.

I was having the very same problem after about 8 months of use, so I replaced the internal O Rings on the firing Pin, (Very tiny little buggers they are), and now No More Leaking into the telescope chamber.

The leaking is mostly 99 percent user error. if usng ody or pen make sure you shut juice control when not in use. next day before using clean out the collector tank and blow into the firing pin. I recommend put an adapter and blow right into the 510 connector and dry up all moisture before mounting back any atty, ody, penelope, etc. once dried and cleaned you are ready to vape for hours on end. When done shut juice control and next day repeat same process or you can clean it before going to bed that way next day ready for use.

Its just proper maintenance. I understand not many folks know about this because its not like the device comes with an instruction manual etc. It is a advance user device so the best thing one can do is post what they have an issue with and gg clan is here to save the day. if we can solve it we always have the PROPHET IMEO that will save the day.

We help because he is like a mad scientist getting the next batch of devices ready so the less we put on him to help the faster we get our products. plus the more knowledge one gets they can pass it around to help the GG CLAN.

The leaking into the battery tube is not user error unless it was assembled by the user and the o-rings were not put in properly.

Leaking into the collector tank generally is user error. But it's a collector tank and should collect the juice and keep it out of your tube.

It's like you have a broken, missing, or mis seated o-ring inside of the firing pin assembly. Even if juice does get into the collector tank it should not make it into the battery tube.

I was missing at least one oring (outside delrin).

How best to open the delrin/octagonal pieces?

 

[Natron]

I dont think theres an o-ring outside delrin...there are 2 tiny ones inside it. to get to them just push pin in as far as can and then underneath(battery side) pull rest of way out. be careful not to lose o-rings when comes out as they are small.

 

[TheSneakerHoarder]

On the wiki diagram there are 2 inside the delrin and 1 outside...trying to get into the delrin to check those.

 

[Natron]

I stand corrected. I have never noticed that one. sorry...

 

[TheSneakerHoarder]

All good--any tips on how to open the delrin/switch piece to into it?

 

[Ezkill]

Bishopheals has a video on here somewhere about switch assembly.

Careful with taking it apart those little o-rings inside tend to break really easily. It's all pretty much just threaded together...really easy to take apart and put back together.

No need to remove the delrin piece at all, unless it's stripped. The diagram below is the one I think Sneakerhoarder was mentioning,
and you just have to loosen the center post nut (#1 on the diagram) and the center post
as well as the two o-rings that fit around it (#'s 2 & 3 on diagram, respectively) will come right out.
You do need to have both rings in place just as shown.
If not, clean it, put in new ones and put the assembly back on, get it snug, but not too tight as to mess up the delrin. Should be all good.

You can see in the diagram that if you pull out the center post, the two o-rings which are sitting on top of the center post nut will get pulled though
the opening in said nut, possibly damaging them. If you try to push the pin back in without removing the nut, you can damage them further.

I did it with my first TS, alot of folks have. But, if those rings are in their proper place and everything's tightened, your leaks should stop.

Oh, almost forgot, the #5 o-ring on the diagram is no longer used on the TS as it was found to be unnecessary, no worries about that.
My V1 aluminum TS had one, but not any of the later TS styles I've acquired, and the delrin seals perfectly on its own

Thank you guys!

When I get a break at work here in a few I'm going to try and open it up again to see what is causing it.

video is on first page of this thread that i linked. click first page ont his thread its second video

Got it open between tattoos--the o-rings were chopped.

Luckily, our piercer had some laying around that worked...also ordered the kit from COV just to be sure.

Thank you all for your help!
