need a lil advice on the vapemate

[blue8091]

Hey..would be really grateful for any tips/feedback from other vape Mate users...

1. Using the tube and understanding the learning curve that goes with finding that perfect lil squeeze - felt like the perfect lil squeeze was found - but the VapeMate continues to flood the atty and in fact found that juice has been leaking down inside the batt tube on a V2 Maxi Roughstack. The RS is fine but stopped using the tube - the VM still works - but liked using the tube...

2. With the 5ml bottles - started out at first w/o any o ring because bottle leakage was so infrequent. Over the past few days, the leakage got worse and the o ring was added to the bottle. However, it didn't stop the bottle from leaking. Not sure what the life span of each bottle would be - it's looking like perhaps a week? Again, your advice is so appreciated.

The conversion to auto feed by adding a tube can be finicky at best. On the bottles, did you remove the nipples on the bottles and are the bottles from me? The nipples should remain on and no Oring should be used.

Hey Dave, thanks. Yes the nipples were left on w/the tube. Yes, the bottles were from you - the 2 that came w/ the VM and an extra 5pk.

I've never had any problems with those bottles leaking (assuming the nipples are on them). Are the bottles perhaps cracked or something? Or maybe look for some debris up in the cap. You should be able to run those with no orings in there without any leakeage problems, which makes me think something is maybe in there not allowing it to seal?

I ended up boring out the hole in the nipple until I was just able to push the tube through the hole. Thinking back, maybe if I had lubed the tube with a little VG it might have fit without drilling. No leaks so far though.

Hey Shaman - thanks so much for this feedback. How long does one bottle last for you?

Hey Dave, as this was a gift - I'm running with second hand knowledge but this guy is really smart and also mechanically inclined, so I am positive that a crack or defect in one of the bottles would have been caught - as would any debris in the cap itself. He's just putting in a ton of hours and hard to connect for more details. I did watch his review again and the o ring that was included with the shipment looked pretty large so I can see why he thought it was for the bottle - at least it looks too large for anything on the VM itself. I did note though that he stated, while it was rarely, it leaked on the bottle side from the get go. Thanks much for the reply and when I get the chance to hook up - I'll get more details. I've read plenty of posts here where people repeatedly state they have zero leaks - using a tube - so we'll figure it out between all of us!

Ok - since removing the tube - zero leakage. The VM gets wiped down nightly - no debris either in VM or first bottle with all the leakage. It's just an issue with using the tube - really likes the auto feed feature of the VM. When he has more time I'm sure he'll dink around with it and get it perfected. Thanks for the replies.

Yep remove tube.... tilting the device becomes second nature and you have much more control over you juice. I started out using the tube (maybe the first one to try it actually) and shortly after ditched it for the non-tube set up after watching HZG8TRGRL's tutorial. Since have had no flooding and no leaking of any kind after many months of daily use.
