Lemo Nightmare!

[SkhairKro89]

HELP! My Lemo tank is flooding like crazy! It floods through the mouthpeice when filling it through the fill port. It first leaked only when I over filled it, and I figured it was just juice running thorugh the channels at the top since I left them open when wicking it with cotton, though, after screwing the fill port closed, and the tanks still upsdiedown, it still leaks if I tilt the atty to where the juice toutches the juice channels at the top on one side. If it's "Vacuum" sealed when the fill port is screwed shut, then how is juices able to escaape through the juice channels? I thought it was like a straw, you know where you place your finger over a straw and the soda or water stays in the straw until you let go. The Vacuum should technically prevent juice from flowing into the chamber unless you suck through the mouthpiece, applying neggative pressure. I then discovered it leaks thorugh the aire hole too when place upright, meaning the inner chamber must be flooded, causing juice to flow out the airhole. I checked all the O-Rings, the two white ones for the glass are in place, as well as the black one on the top bell of the Chimney, is there supposed to be an o-ring on the lower half of that chimney peice where it screws into the barrel section of the chimney? I added a black o-ring to it just in case, though I don't think one belongs there. It's gotta be a break in the Vacuum seal, thoguh I can't explain how or why, I checked the glass for chips, though It looks flawless. Did I overtightent the top cap, does that affect the vacuum when over tightening?

Take it apart, clean it thoroughly and put it back together, ensure the upper and lower rings are seated in the recesses properly and replace the black chimney oring as even just small flaws can let air leak past, and no it doesn't need one in between the upper and lower chimney parts, also ensure you have enough wick to soak up the juice coming through the channels
