Penelope Tips

[Frankie Relo]

For the most part, im having a great experience with my penelope, im not sure if this was answered on another thread but from time to time when I refill I have some flooding and leaking through the bottom.. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Frankie

I am glad that you enjoy Penelope. As for the flooding, please close well the liquid control before refilling and close slowly the cap after refilling. Please check if the liquid control is really closed because sometimes we think its closed and its not because mouthpiece doesnt turn so easy like Ody's mouthpiece

I've noticed that it's harder to turn as well. Is there a trick to getting it to turn better Imeo? more smoothly?
Never mind. I just found your updated post on not over tightening the filler cap.
Thanks!!

Maybe an o-ring with a little smaller external diameter, like 13,9mm instead of 14mm Black. I will do a research for an o-ring like this

You found it too then . Hahaha. Me too man. There's so much info which is why Imeo keeps updating the first post on that thread. I'm going to start going there once a day to keep up and not wade through all the threads.

Dont PANIC... Its so simple just takes a little patience and practice... and eventually you will know all the quirks so well you will be able to tweak or pin point a problem without even thinking about it...

Heres your fix:

The flow control inst the problem. The cap that you seal after you fill with juice cant be tighten. I REPEAT CAN'T BE TIGHTEN. just screw it in till it cant go no more that's it. Dont be like superman and try to tighten it. it will affect your flow control by giving you resistance to open the flow. There is a seal under that cap which will make sure no juice is spilled outside the cylinder. No need to over kill it by super tightening it.

Has anyone tried to fill via the mouthpiece. Just checking before I try. Seems an easier way to fill. Buy I could be wrong. Taking off the fill cap needs wiping down. Just curious. Love my Penelope.

Haha. When I posted my answer you already had found the answer. You actually wrote it down in your post, but I, for some odd reason, skipped that part of your post, Black


In relation to your question, 2 things come to mind when doing that.


1-Flooding (obvious) which eventually might go away due to channel being closed and you vaping the excess juice.

2-Possible INITIAL leaking thru the bottom. Can be solved by blowing excess juice thru main channel.


Other than that, I might actually give it a try. Just for giggles. It's just that I find opening and refilling through the top cap so easy that I have never even thought about filling my tank thru the mouth-piece.

Through the mouthpiece can only be Dripe 3-4 drops of juice.
If you pour the juice through a die, there will be flooding. The tank is not filled
