Just a quick easy question...is there in the center of the connector a tiny rubber Oring?

TIA

Are you talking about what goes around the center pin? See below. There is a gasket which is more like a sleeve than an o-ring. And on the new ones, there is a smaller gasket on top...that could seem like an o-ring.
 

unsure

I only ask because I just removed my older 2.0 and around the extended center post (where it protrudes out) was a small Oring attached. :blink: So I figured it had to come from the connector since my new 2.0 doesn't have one exposed. Funny thing is i screwed it back in and it worked then tried the new 2.0 and it worked. Very strange. I know there is a gasket in the connector so I gotta wonder hoe this Oring magicly appeared.:unsure:

We were posting at the same time. :facepalm: This was a rubber Oring. Maybe its from the the 2.0. I did have to unscrew it pretty far for it to make the connection to fire...which I thought was odd. Something I didn't have to do for the Tesla which worked right from the package. A PM to Rob might be inorder.

If it was black rubber...then I'd say it has nothing to do with the connector. But I agree....get a hold of Rob. :)

:facepalm:

A closer look at the new 2.0 it looks to have a tiny rubber Oring seal around the center post. My toxic/corrosive Lave juice has appeared to claimed yet another Oring victim.:facepalm:

Hmmmm...and morphed into a rubber Oring wrapped around extended center post of the 2.0. :unsure: Now thats one for the record book. :laugh: At this point I'll believe anything. :)

Not so much that it morphed I had one gasket go all black and separate looking like an oring once musta been the juice :lol:

Seriously...I could have sworn gaskets looked more like plastic than rubber. Was it as tiny as the screw head at the bottom of the reomizer?

They are like a soft silicone rubber. I forget what juice I was using that ate mine and turned it black. I'm just guessing but suspect that may be what's happened to you. Hope ya get sorted ASAP. I know if the master is on the case it will be. Hope ya have a good backup :)

Interesting. My brand new 2.0 works in it with out the gasket if that what it was.....very strange.

Just the top of my gasket came free. It's kinda a t shape if that makes sense. Could have been the juice and maybe over tightening. Not too sure. But it made sense to me when I got the new gasket.
