Russian RTA

All I thought I would post a bad experience I had with my Russian.

It worked great for about two months, then started leaking out of the air hole constantly. I thought that the O ring at the top of the chimney was bad, so I replaced it with the one provided. That O ring would never stay on the top cap when removed to fill the tank. Still had sporadic leaking. I then put the old chimney O ring back in and replaced all of the tanks O rings with the extras provided. NO LEAKING!

I am bummed that it only took two months for the O rings to go bad, but in their defense I do tend to change the flavors (and wicks) quite often. Maybe it is my fault.

Thanks for reading and responding.

Is it a clone of the Russian 91? That seems quick for the O-rings to go bad. I've been using a KFL+ Clone for almost a month now and so far so good. Good luck with the Russian!

Cheers,
Steve

Good thing is you can get replacement o rings by the pound at any hardware store.

How often do you change wicks and take apart? And how tight are you tightening? I have an OG kayfun that I've been using since release and still haven't replaced orings and seals just as great as new.
