Leaking mini!

[AmandaD]

I thought I'd fixed the problem, but apparently I have not!

Both minis (the og and the 2.5) have been leaking like sieves. This morning, both were taken apart, checked, washed, put back together with O rings in the dripwell and up where the RM2 meets the dripwell. I checked the tubing was snug up against the connector.

The 2.5 seemed to be good to go, so I took her out with me in the car. 30m mins later I pulled her out of my purse and she was a dripping mess. I cleaned her up, came back home, and after a while I see that she's leaking out from the base of the RM2, in spite of the fact there's a thick O ring there. Now, it is hot here today, and I don't have the a/c on yet - so it might be 80 in the house. I'm using 50/50, and I don't have a reducer tube in her because it's in the og mini - could that be the problem?

I dread the summer here - last night my cartotanks for the first time decided to flood for no reason, my other tanks got all leaky. And it's not even that hot yet!

Yeah I think you need to add the reducer since it's likely that you're auto feeding and leaking out the air hole.

It hit 80 here today and I experienced the same with a 2.1. Mine was leaking around the bottom of the cyclone while sitting on my desk.

The minute I got home I installed an oring and the reducer. I will see how she performs tomorrow.

I would definitely put the reducer tube in the unit . If you notice its auto feeding unscrew your bottle from the cap and screw it back on this is enough to stop it most of the time

I need to order a bunch of reducers - I only have one, and it's on the other mini...

I checked, and it wasn't leaking out of the airhole - it was leaking out from around the O ring at the top of the drip well!

I have a feeling it is coming out the air hole . The best way to tell is to slip a o ring around the atomizer just under the air hole . If you notice juice building up on the o ring you no its coming from the air intake

Thanks - I'll do that!

If it is coming from the drip well you need the thicker 1.5mm o-ring that Rob sells not the standard 1mm o-ring that comes with it.

I already have the thick one in the dripwell!

 

[Filthy-Beast]

Then it must be leaking from the air hole and collecting in the drip well.

I'm going to check that tomorrow when the temp goes up again! But I've learned always to carry it in something that protects my purse...LOL

OK - this thread got me thinking. Most of my juices are 50/50 or 60pg/40vg and I live in Houston where it's hot most of the damn year. We've got 2 seasons; Hot and Hell (lol) with a couple days of cool to chilly tossed in to keep us sane.

Based on this, should I assume to have the reducer tube for all my juices I use on my (soon to be purchased) Reo?

The only way you will no is to run the mod . I have never had this issue with a rba on my mod .

The reducer tubes come with new purchase REO's. You will have to look pretty close to find them in the bag. They are very small!

You might find you need them in the heat. Also adjusting the amount of juice you feed into the RM2 is important. You will want to take off the drip tip and watch as you squonk. Then vape till the coil is almost dry before setting your REO down. That will help with any flooding.

The tightness of the bottle cap plays an important part in this also. Too tight and the pressure builds. You will learn! It is trial and error at first. But usually does not take long to have it down.

if my rm2 isn't on tight enough i get the same kind of leaking you are talking about.

I live in the Houston area too, I vape 50/50 and sometimes 60/40 as well .. I've never had to use the reducer tube on any of my Reo's.

Good to know, thanks!

Nothing else to add except ...... how the heck did you get a mini 2.5 and what new since the 2.1 version

LOL - because I can't type?

I noticed today mine was leaking in the drip well, enough to kind of frustrate me but not enough to really worry. Mid-day I actually unscrewed the RM2 (it was on pretty damn tight) checked the o-ring and tightened it pretty tight, but not as tight as it was. Hasn't leaked from the time I did that. I was thinking if you have it on too tight the o-ring may be compressed to the point it may let some juice through a ripple or something that forms in it. Dunno what would cause it but I honestly think it was because it was on too tight.
