Russian 91% V2 leaking from 510 :(

[Sptz]

Hey,

I've had a few kayfuns and a Russian 91 v1 and NEVER had this problem.

My Russian 91% v2 is leaking from 510 connector, it's a very slow process as it seems the juice makes it way down very slowly but it ends up on my mod's 510 connector at some point.

I replaced the deck insulator, replaced the grommet inside... Still leaks... What the hell can I do?

Maybe try lowering the coil so it's a little closer to the deck?

 

[Sptz]

Wouldn't that make it worse? Because it's closer to the airhole?

 

[ElConquistador]

Just a wild guess!! It seems like you are getting too much liquid up into the coil area and it's exiting via the air hole through the connection. I was just wondering if there was less room between the coil and the air hole, there would be less room for liquid to accumulate. I don't think mine has ever leaked through there. Only leaks I've had were when I somehow loosened up the tank threads and a couple of times I've left it in the hot car for an hour or so, which makes it leak like a sieve.

Maybe contact the vendor and see if it can be replaced if it isn't that old and the vendor has a good return policy. I've never had this with my 91 but I've had it leak out of the air hole and air adjustment screw.

If I changed both the insulator and the grommet what else could it be? Not sure if exchanging it will help because I had a good look inside of it and everything seems fine

Same problem here, only had it a week.

 

[Sptz]

Did you manage to fix it?

 

[metlgawd]

Sorry, haven't been on here in awhile. I did fix this issue. I took one of the o-rings from the screwdriver that came with it and put it on the 510 connector screw. I also figured out how to wick properly, so I don't know which fixed the problem, but I'm leak free now. Now if I could just remedy the juice creep in the drip tip.
Edit- The extra o-ring also stopped the positive block from spinning.

Great tip metlgawd, thanks!

 

[metlgawd]

Anytime. Hopefully I can help people out. I've learned so much from this site, dunno where I'd be at without it.

If you've replaced the deck insulator, make sure you've really tightened the deck screw tight. I also discovered this trick worked for me

you'll need an old EVOD insulator to do it. Mine hasn't leaked or been wobbly since.
