Here is a good trick for those who have Reomizers. I took some white plumbers thread tape , cut lengthwise so to be half as wide, and wrapped it around the bottom of the threads on the inside of the Reomizer. Once around will do it. These are the threads that hold the outside shell on. The outer shell doesn't need an electrical connection. That whole outer shell could be plastic and it wouldn't matter.

The outer shell screwed on just fine and felt good and snug....and viola! No more leaks! Now I can flood the hell out of it as am apt to do when concentrating on something and the worst that will happen is it will gurgle a little.

This needs a sticky. I got my reo 2 weeks ago and loved it. Then my reomizer started leaking like crazy. Tried different o rings, changing tension. nothing worked. Went out and bought some disposables until I could get it to work. Just put on some tape and like magic no more leaks. Never even crossed my mind to try this. Thank you so much.

Yeah mine was leaking like crazy! I ordered some new O-rings that Rob had recommended and they actually did a good job. The only problem was that the top cap became way too loose and for some reason juice kept leaking from there as well. I loved the Reomizer as my beginner's guide to RBAs but I just bought a Hornet and that thing does NOT leak a single drop. I love it and I think I might even hold off on buying a Chalice now... MAYBE lol

I hope I love the one I ordered as much as you do. It looks like a good, sturdy device. I like the small profile of it. I wish I could find some Kanthal to practice making coils. Have to wait until the hornet comes.
