Juice leaks though stealth cap on battery, what can I do ?

It's not possible to get juice leaking inside the battery on the Stealth as the insulator has a screw pin and there is no way juice can leak inside the cap. Only way that can happen is if your insulator is damaged
If Silver uses Stealth and she has adjusted the center pole by unscrewing it (and thats why she has leakage), then she needs a small o-ring to put it through center pin. The o-ring can be 2x1, like the one we use on GGTS connector, or a 2x1,5
Thanks for the responses. Yes, it's my GG#1606 Stealth . I had to sell it twice and once got it back as a present from Oli and then I sold it again and the owner fifnt use it since he just did me a favor.
Now to the issue. I think the black thing around the screw may be leaking. I never had problems with my Stealth. Before (beside when I a member was kind enough to fix the cap before since a piece of a tank got stuck.
Do I get the O rings at COV? I have no clue how to fix that myself, hope I can figure it out. Thanks for all your input and thanks Imeo for the suggestion.

unscrew totally the center pin from the plastic, put the 2x1 o-ring around the pin, push the o-ring until it reaches the bottom of the pin, screw the pin again to the plastic
COV has those small o-rings I believe. Better ask him silver

It could deflinitely be leaking because of a damaged black insulator piece-
which, like other stealth parts, should be in stock for a bit after the preorders all ship out this week.
As Imeo said, it could be that your metal center pin is loosened to adjust the center pin position.
It should be snugly tightened to seal it, if you have it loosened without an o ring around the base to seal it/move the pin lower
and you have a leaky tank/etc on there, juice can seep through a bit.
If you do want the pin lower than it usually sits, put on oring and tighten the center pin snug
with a socket/wrench, don't know size offhand. Any set of small metric sockets should have one that fits.
by hand is fine Beware the crossthreading. It's not hard as long as you have the tools or know someone who does.
If you're fine with the center pin the way it is, the insulator could be good and the pin may just need tightening as above,
no o-ring needed. If all is in good shape, this will seal it up too.
The 2mm X1mm orings are in the ggts o ring set- GGTS Replacement O-ring Set
Not in stock right now, but I've heard they should be soon

o-ring will help her still make adjustments on the center pin Mosh, because its soft it will let pin go in and out and still sealing the area. So better for her not to screw the pin with a tool. A hard screw by hand will be ok. That way she can unscrew it easy any time if she puts on Stealth an atomizer with "strange" center pole.
I was having this problem too and decided to just throw my GG away and use a BLU...ha just kidding. O rings worked great for me, the spares that came with some of my 510 drip tips worked well after some tightening.

If you are using the pin to adjust the atty for a tighter fit by backing it out, try backing out the insulator with it, keeping the pin snug against the plastic.

Silver not sure if you got your problem worked out or not but I will just throw in my .02.
What I would advise doing first is removing your top cap. Then back the posative pin all the way out of the plastic(derlin piece) If the plastic comes out of the cap even better but if not next try removing that. Once you have them both removed check the plastic piece for any visable cracks or extra chewed up threads. If they appear good I would recommend giving it a good clean and try the o-ring Imeo advised. If you can see cracks you are probably going to need a new derlin piece and I would check out COV or possibly put up a WTB in the classys. An o-ring may help even if you have cracks or chewed up threads in the mean time but I would still recommend picking up an extra or 2 as you can.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I am not very handy at all. The Stealth looks and vapes great and somehow the batteries haven't been affected. I will give him a good clean. I'm just a clutz when it comes to fixing the easiest things. Thanks so much for the advice.
