just got the agr+ pyrex carto tank (help)

[sivo]

So this thing just came out apparently, got mine in the mail today and its nice and all, but I have a problem. The long version of the center pipe's threads do not tighten all the way into the top of the tank. The short pipe is fine, but the long one only tightens about half way and leaves the glass tube feeling loose. Anyone who got this tank have the same problem? Any ideas?

edit: update

after lots of struggling i got the center pipe to loosen up and fit right, but now it has been leaking non stop at the bottom between the tank, and the locking piece, where the carto goes through.. just a warning.

I have an original AGR Tank and I love it...have been looking at this trying to figure out what the deal is with the center tubes (the original didn't have these). Is it a juice feed control of some type?

I loved the idea of the AGR tank but for some reason almost every juice i has messed up the tanks i used one juice in one tank (MBV peach) in one and i forget what in the other neither should have cracked the tanks but they did. Anyway since then i have use standard Pyrex tanks but the standard way of filling tanks sucks! Ill be looking for one of these and i hope it gives me no problems ill be using the short tank first but i also have some XL Smoktech Cartos left on hand (i had to get a DCT so i needed Them I got a Pyrex DCT but never use it, so ill see how they both work with this tank. the only thing is the Smoktech cartos have a flange the boges don't so idk ill have to find out when i get one i think ill be making an order today or tomorrow.) I am really happy with my standard Pyrex tanks from Valley View Vapes And IB tanked although neither have a fill hole and i have lost more than i can count with one hand, Tank tools and That's expensive! At least more expensive than a needle tip for my bottle (which is harder to loose)

Anyway i miss my original AGR so I hope The AGR+ with a Pyrex tank (which it should have been in the first place or at lease polypropylene) So i hope this will be a winner. As so far the best i can find is a basic glass carto tank, Although i still need to try a terminator or diver (i cant afford a killer i don't know if i can swing even a diver)

Now on that subject has anyone tried a terminator or diver with this tank? I have Heard Tanks with fill holes work best for these RB's (should i call them RBAs or RBCs lol rebuild-able atomizers, they are or rebuild-able cartomizers? well maybe RBTC because they require a tank rebuild-able tank cartomizers or RBTA rebuild-able tank atomizers lol OK off subject anyway.

Ill reposrt back later if anyone cares.

I have had an AGR+ for about a month now and I have to say, I hate it. It leaks constantly as the OP mentioned which can lead to stipping the connection threads easily since your always taking it on and off which is what happened to me. and you HAVE to get double punch cartos. I bought some 3ohm cartos off discountvapers not thinking much of it until they get in and it only has 1 hole thats bigger and higher than the ones I was previously using and the tank cant get any juice into the carto. A semi-soluction I found to the leaking is to only fill it half way, otherwise it will flood the cartos and leak everywhere. I have wasted at least 25mls of juice because of this tank. For the price, go buy an IBTanked.

I have had leaking issues too. I got this tank a week ago. I read in another thread just 2mins ago that over tightening causes the o-rings to warp and break the seal. I dont have the AGR+ on me right now since im at work. I'll give it a shot when I get home.

For those of you with leaky AGR+ tanks try putting the center pipe thing in with the holes on the top, with the holes on the bottom mine will leak all my juice in less then 30 minutes with the holes on the top, no leaks no dry hits.. Refilled it 4 times since and still not leaking..

I own one and never had any issues..

When i got it ( new ) i noticed the threads were real rough.. I gave it a real good scrub with some dish soap and a toothbrush.. It actually smoothed out the threads... I also read people were having leaking issues so before i even filled this thing i decided to swap out the O-Rings it came with with some that were a little more beefier. I have a drawer full of various Orings from AGA RBAs and other things that have broke down over time. Also, If you look closely at the edges of the glass on the tanks, Sometimes the edges can be rough/chipped/etc and this will cause leaking without a doubt. Another thing i have found out ( and seen first hand ) that sometimes cheap glass tanks can be cut uneven and if you place one flat on a table, you can look and see if its been cut even. Another MAJOR reason these and a lot of other china glass tanks/rba leak.

I did not have an issue with my threading so i cannot comment but as for leaking, check out those few things.

The glass tanks on this are actually the same size as the AGA-T ones ( and a few others ) so you can swap out or buy replacement tanks if needed.

So dumb question, how does the juice get to the cartomizer?

Yes I would like to know that also, I just did a first impression review compared to the AGR V2 which I love, and so far on my 2nd tank full in the + has no leaking issues with the post holes on the bottom.
