Leaking UFS

[BluSwatch]

Quick question ..... just recently my UFS is leaking from the tank, down into the collector tank below the atty.
I have looked at the Wiki, and I am not missing any o-rings, they all look good.
I have been really careful to fully close the juice feed, and air control, and I still notice juice down there.
Sometimes it leaks faster than other times .....

Is maybe the bottom of my atty is deformed? Is the juice going in the atty and down the center hole of the connection?
It's not a "new" atty, an HH 357 long barrel, but it's not beat up or anything. It's always been in this UFS since I bought it.

I am not sure what I should do to stop this ....
Thanks!!

Liquid always escapes via atomizer blue. The most possible is that this atomizer is not good.

You could try a different Atty , I found that the ufs is picky with its attys . Have you taken it apart and given it a good lube up by any chance ? Also inspect the two orings on center crown thingy

Blue if you watch my video i go over what usually is the cause of the leak. Even when you have air control and juice control closed it can leak if your adding more juice to tank. When releasing the upper cap the oring may give some resistance to atomizer or cartomizer and can unfasten from the 510 connector resulting in some leak. Also another way it leaks if you flood the atty o carto which I go over in my video how to clear that. since you dont speak of flood i assume your issue is what I mentioned with upper cap and oring.

Fix
add some vaseline to the oring on top or get a ufs drip tip.

Thanks for the pointers all ... it just started a couple weeks ago, after 5 or 6 months of no-leaks, so I will get some new atties, and try that 1st.

China atomizers are not make equal and thats the main problem Blu.

Imeo - an HH 357 is a china atty?

Blu,

From what I understand, the parts are made in China, but specs, assembly, etc are here in the U.S.

Dang ... I love the long barrels.

Oh well, I think I will try a couple more. It was working like a dream for months, so maybe I messed up the bottom cleaning it or it just got worn out. LOL

 

[imeothanasis]

I dont really know blu lol. I dont follow what is going on on the market. But if its a ready made atomizer then it will have the same problems as I see it

Try Empire mods drip atty.

Try Empire mods drip atty.

Do they have long barrel ones? I tried my little extender thing on an Ikenvape 510 last night, and it doesn't fit very well, and my tips wiggle a lot. Maybe I was doing something wrong ....

Maybe you should just get another HH.357. I know they're expensive but they do work great, although even they eventually stop working properly. I had one that only worked for 3 days. I've heard of some people's lasting almost a year or more.

 

[BluSwatch]

That's what I was going to do Phreaky and at least try it ....

 

[imeothanasis]

if an atomizer has the wrong hole so drip tips dont fit well, change the o-ring on drip tip with a bigger one Blu. So if your o-ring is 5x1,5 put an 6x1,5

Imeo - I think it is the hole on the connector thing is a little shorter than the "base" of the drip tips ... I will try a few others.
I have no shortage of drip tips here. LOLOL

 

[imeothanasis]

Blu, I didnt understand, sorry. Can you repeat please?

 

[BluSwatch]

Sorry Imeo ... I am not good at describing things.

I got the UFS 510 extension, and the top of the extension, where the drip tips go in seems short for a few of my tips, it has a "floor" in it and some tips don't go in far enough to accept the tip's 2nd o-ring fully.
I have a lot of tips though, so it isn't a problem, I will just try a few till one seats really well

Thanks!

 

[imeothanasis]

I understand now Blu

Extension had to be made as small as I could make it, so I based on existing drip tips. If some people making longer mouthpieces thats not a problem of mine but their problem

 

[BluSwatch]

That is true .... LOL There are soo many drip tips out there.

I will find one that fits nice and snug, believe me.
