Mini leaking?

[Jazzi Mike]

Hey so I have a Reo Grand and a Reo Mini 2.1. My mini has begun to leak. I use RM2s with cotton and microcoil. I understand no system is perfect, but my Mini after a while will totally leak. Most often, it is when it is tipped on the side, but sometimes it leaks out of the juice well standing upright.

The Mini gets a bit more use out of the house, just cuz it is so tiny. However, reaching in my pocket putting my hands on gooey Reo has kinda dampened the party.

Are you using an oring under you rm2 ? If you are maybe you need a thicker one. Beyond that check to make sure the atty is draining. Take the cap off squonk a little just to get juice in the bowl make sure the excess drains back down. If that doesn't solve it then most likely you are over squonking.

Or, it's rare, but I've heard of a split tube causing leaks as well. Where's it leaking from, can you tell?

I can understand how having gooey hands after playing in your pockets would dampen the party.


Try putting a o-ring from a drip tip on the 510 connector for the RM2. Also several of us have admitted to suffering from LBOSS, Low Battery Over Squonking Syndrome. Double check that a low battery is not causing you to over squonk leading to leakage, leakage can and will dampen the party as well.

Tighten the cap on your bottle. If the cap is too loose the extra juice after squonking will not vacuum back down into the bottle.

Make sure the tubing is all the way up on the little post under the connector. If you have removed it before it might be loose.

Before you set it down pull off the drip tip and look in the RM2 and see if there is a lot of juice in there.

I had the same issue in my 2.1's. I tried everything. I couldn't get them to not overflow in the catch cup well :/ I'm pretty sure I just over squonked.

Chances are you putting to much juice in the atomizer and its slowly seeping out the air intake hole of the atomizer . Many people think its coming from under the atomizer but in most cases its coming from the atomizer hole . One way to tell is to put a o ring just under the air intake on the atomizer . If you notice juice beading up on the o ring you have solved your problem

It's weird, my Mini 2.0 also leaks, and I have the larger O-ring on it. My original Mini and my Grand do not suffer the same problem. Just leaving it sitting upright overnight, and juice collects around the bottom of the RM2 and on the top of the catch cup area. I'm constantly wiping it down.

You'd think it was my method of squonking or something, but it only happens with the 2.0.

If you do Rob's test for air hole leakage and that's not it, put the o-ring on the Rm2 below the top seam and see if you are getting thread seepage. The drip tip o-ring works great at sealing the 510 connection, I prefer it to the thicker large o-ring in the catch cup.
