I have some leakage going on under my rm2. I haven't had this happen in a while so I've kinda forgotten how to fix it. There's a little ring of juice literally around the base of the rm2 on my LP reo. Any suggestions? I tried putting an oring in there, but then my rm2 wasn't making a connection.

I'm subscribing to this one. Just the corners juices comes through. If I take the atty off and dry everything, it's back after 3 squonks. Ignore the chips where there top cap goes on. I can't seem to prevent it, but I don't see it with my top cap on.
I have one that does this and the only fix was with an o-ring but I have to wrench the atty down really hard it will be the first to go back to the mod master for a new 510 I'm sure. I had to put a little juice on both sides of the o-ring as well to make it slick enough to tighten it down till it made contact. Just make sure you have a 1/16" thick o-ring.
Well I just literally signed back in to ask this same question. I have an lp with the upgraded contacts and an lp with the new 510 and fix....they both leak this way and I was wondering if I am oversquonking............it happens nonstop on both REO's ....using RM2 with the oring it came with and nothing on the 2 RM3s I have.

I use an oring in mine. if the oring doesn't let your atty make contact with the 510, then its possible you've over tightened the atty at some point. I did, so I took the hose off and pushed the 510 back from the bottom just slightly. Not sure if that's a good idea or not but it worked and ive had no problems. also you could have too thick of an oring.
My best guess is the juice is coming from your air hole not the threads of the 510 connection . I dont use o rings with the new 510 connection and the only time I get juice on the box is if I put to much juice in the atty . I have tested my fair share of these new 510s the threads are tight tolerances compared to the old 510s . O rings are not needed

I always have a little ring of juice under the o-ring when I remove my RM2, but it never goes anywhere else. I just assumed it was normal, I just wipe it off and get back to business.
Just for info all old 510s all have o-rings but if I remove the o-ring on the one that I have to wrench the at down on with it I get corner leaks. And I am 99% sure it is not from the air holes on my atty.
I had chronic problems with my Odin leaking the same ways, until I found the right oring.
What size o-ring? I may need to look into this after I go to my class at the college tomorrow.
1mm x 10mm used to work with the old 510 connector. The new connectors have a slightly bigger diameter, so more like 1mm x 12mm should do it. I'm still stretching the 1x10's to fit, which is not optimal.
Thanks Papa Lazarou, I still have the old 510s. I'm the type of guy that'd want both Reo's done at the same time, but that's all I have to use to vape. Well I have my iTaste vv/vw v3 I started with, but that thing sucks to use now haha.
I really couldn't tell you, it's one from Rob though. I lost it down the drain and haven't used my Odin anymore.
In other words you have nothing
BTW, my o-rings were from Rob (came with RM2 atties).
I use the LP RM2 on the LP Grand with the new 510 connector without an oring. No juice under the atty or tbreads whatsoever. But make sure you don't block the juice hole in the atty and don't oversquonk. That can lead to juice coming out of the air hole and down to the base.

I also use orings. I went to the hardware store and just tried them until one fit.
