Need to stalk this thread and wait for the next release of them, keep an eye on the classifieds or post a WTB ad. [emoji106]

MH, I didn't weed through all the posts on pdib threads... but did I get the drift that a V2 Nuppin' will have a smaller diameter base that a longer V2 AFC will go over to sit flush on the Reo???
everything about the V2 is identical to the V1 with the exception of some minor chamfers and the base of the atty. The only thing different with the base of the atty is that the flange is removed. Everything will be interchangeable between V1/V2.
Thank you all for clarifying that for me. Probably a modification that some will want for asthetics, some may not if it requires more maintenance. The V1's gather joose between the AFC and top cap that gets past the o-rings and collects on their larger base flange. But the flange has prevented it from leaking out around the bottom on my 3 Nup's. It seems like the new design without the flange opens up the possibility of the joose leaking out at the bottom onto the mod. That sounds logical anyway with nothing to catch it like the flange on the V1 does.
Peter did some testing because there were some people with the same concerns you have mentioned Spydro, but all his tests were inconclusive for leakage. At least he felt strongly enough that the V2 was pushed through without the flange... We'll just have to wait and see if it does or doesn't. I personally don't feel it will though...
I have the same problem on the Nuppins...especially with the brass ring. I probably squonk too much and it allows juice to get in between the two pieces at the air hole and will sure enough collect at the bottom. I am betting this will be worse on the baseless V2 version. It will not stop me from getting more BUT it can be iterating some times.
Same here I just posted and asked in reoville if I need to rock an oring with the new 510 connection because I'm getting juice on the catch cup (not in) ... But more importantly behind and under the delrin cover if my S/L grand..... I noticed it when I pulled a battery to recharge and it was jossey on under the top of my grand .??? So I haven't really gotten any response.... Oring.....? Or is it my nuppin from over sqounkin/user error ? I too am rocking the brass sleeve. I'm going to try the ss sleeve to see if there's a difference..... I also threw an oring under the atty waiting to see if that works??
None of mine have leaked out the bottom, but they all get residual joose trapped between the AFC/top cap and down on the top of the flange. In my case probably more blow back condensation from my very long lung hits than over squonking, and the fact that I never pull the AFC/cap until I think it's time or remember to dry burn the coil/RxW. As much dedicated joose as I go through in each of the Nup's, that can be after a couple of dozen bottles of joose or more has gone through each of them for 2 or 3 weeks before I dry burn. I'm not very interested in the new Nup if it's going to leak, may just try to pick up some used ones from the first run instead. Don't like leaks, and right now I'm dealing with a Lancia that even leaks if you pat baby powder on its .... and put more than a few drops of joose in it. Since it's on a PAPS that stays on my desk for trying out new joose it's livable, but it wouldn't be for my other uses. Even so I'm on the list for a bf Lancia to try on a Reo anyway. It will take some serious finesse when squonking a bf Lancia. If it leaks as well it's run on my Reos will be short.
The liquid you are seeing inside the delrin cover in your grand has nothing to do with the Nuppin' or an o-ring under it. Your problem is most likely the nipple to the 510 connector is loose. I would be checking to make sure its tight. I seem to recall someone else was having the same problem a couple days ago and they had to send theirs back for a spa treatment. I don't have a link to it, but check out Russ's video on how to check your grand for leaks. I think it is in one of the stickies at the top of the Reo forum...
I'm not sure why you have liquid on the flange of your base. I have pulled my top cap several times today and not a drop on the flange. I have some condensation between the o-rings, but nothing on the flange. I remember Peter posting pics of his test prior to putting the V2 into production and his results was the same. Maybe you have some bad o-rings...
I get my leakage between the top cap and the sleeve that is why I say it is my style of squonking. I squonk until I see juice in the air hole....I am wondering if the brass sleeve is not polished as smooth on the inside and there are tiny grooves that allow juice to get past the orings. Just a thought......
Maybe today I will visit the hardware store and check out some new orings.
I realize this isn't likely to be everyones cup o' tea, but I really like it, and thought I'd show you all. I got in a Derringer DT today (SS) and since it precedes the arrival of my Derringer, I tried it on my Nuppin...

I like it! May have to order yet another Derringer DT. This one may not move from the Nuppin.

The cap has three air holes
The AFC ring has two air holes
If you run with one AFC ring air hole open, then two holes in the cap allow juice to seep into the space between the two orings.
If you run with two AFC ring air holes open, then one hole in the cap allows juice to seep into the space between the two orings.
I run with one AFC hole open and have found that if I cover that hole and draw air in if forces the air to come in from the other AFC hole and forces if around the cap clearing any juice stuck between the orings.
If you have two AFC holes open try tuning the ring so no holes are open and then draw air in, this should clear the juice stuck between the orings. You might need cover the AFC holes one at a time while drawing in.

The fit between o-rings and cap on all of mine is not as tight as it is on many of my other o-ring applications are. Not really loose, but also not tight. More likely than bad o-rings on all three of my Nuppin's maybe is my style of vaping. The mechanics of being a power hitter for my very long lung hits probably creates more condensation, possibly helps push it past the o-rings. But my vaping style is not going to change. If that is the reason why joose gets down to the flange on my Nup's (a flange that stops it from going further and leaking), then the new version Nup's that don't have that flange will most likely not be for me.
