Magma RDA Leaking through Center pin

[Guard]

any ideas what could be causing this guys

You are putting too much juice in it. To get maximum performance from an rda, you should only put enough juice in it for 2 or three hits.

Or maybe you need more wicking...

Is the delrin block that holds the + post seated correctly? Is the center pin screw insulator OK? That would be the only areas juice could leak from as far as I know.

have you used a magma?

thinking it is the seating or center post insulator ill tear it apart and build it after later today,

I'm guessing it's the block. Did you take it apart and it started leaking or has it leaked from the start? Hate to state the obvious, but did you check that the center screw was tight? Sorry if that was an insult to your intellegence8-o

I have had the same problem with mine, caught it happening this morning...

I think I have found what is causing it, but even after taking it apart I don't have a perfect fix, but (fingers crossed) it has stopped leaking for now.



The part labeled 'bugger terminal post' is the part to blame. Sometimes it comes up a little bit, either away from the insulator/post holder or both parts away from the atomizer base.
So, to stop it leaking, you just need to make sure that you press down on the 'bugger terminal post' a little bit to 'pop' it into place properly. Obviously don't push too hard, it does not need much force and you don't want to snap the post.

The problem I think is caused by the pin screw being slightly too short, so it does not screw enough into the 'pin screw hole' to hold it firmly in place against the base.

If anyone else has a more permanent fix for this issue then I am all ears (eyes)...

If you think the screw is too short to hold the post down, maybe get a longer screw. I have no clue off the top of my head what size it is.
I haven't had any leaking on mine.
