Kayfun russian leaking overnight

[Bodhiknight]

I'll use my Russian 91% all day long no leaks out the air hole, but when I let it sit out overnight I get a leak out the air hole in the morning. Why am I losing my vacuum?

O-Rings or small chance you didn't catch the threads properly when you put it together.

That is strange, I’ve had no issues with my Russian leaking overnight. I’ve only seen it leak out of the air hole when I’ve flooded it.

Have you tried holding it upside down, blowing through the drip tip while holding a paper towel over the air hole, before you set it down for the night? That will help get any juice that is in there, out.

The clear center is new I realized I crossed the threads a bit. O rings are brand new,

I'll give it a try.

The coil is far above the center hole and my wicking is minimal and not blocking juice wells.

All this might have to do with the clear section cross threaded. I'll cross my fingers tonight.

Why didn't they put an o ring on the fill port screw. That doesn't make sense to me.

My Ehpro KFL has an o-ring on the fill screw. Maybe look around to see if you can find one and see if it fits yours?

Some Russians / Russian clones have this problem.
If it just happens overnight it's not a big deal, try placing it horizontally but with the air hole pointing upwards, or vertically in a stand.
