It just means that the fit between two surfaces may be a bit looser than it should be thereby not providing such a good seal.... between the two halves of the vapeshell for example. It often happens with lower quality machining or the use of lower quality metals.

Hope that helps and sorry for the late response :wub:
Thank you, and I'm happy to say I inferred the meaning correctly.

juice is first,i'll learn with you. second would be a squonking pin.

I watched this! Let me put it this way-I can push down on the top mechanism without a mess. The one he was warning about.

I’m thinking a vacuum issue? I’m using 50/50 juice.

    @Terri McVeety also, I'm proud :lol: to say I have tried before to squonk with an RDA, that still had a blind pin in it :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
    Haha! Not beyond my scope of goofs, however I just converted this one for the pumper right before trying it.

    I’m pumping away with it not in the mod and getting no juice.

    plus I did trim a few mm off my tube. Check if there is a tiny hole down the centre of the pump mechanism too
    The tube is bent right up to the bottle. Tiny hole? The one in the metal cylinder? Yes it’s there. I also tried drying the o rings (hope I never have to replace them) still nothing.

    more Luna fur. She's too curious for her own good :lol:

    There's also a side hole. I doubt the o-rings will do much. Cut a mm or 2 off the tube. And then I'd try it with warm water pumping it a few times. If it's still a pita after than, I'm clueless

    Try drying off the pump mechanism and then make sure the top of the pump is scewed on tight. See the knurled ring just below the spring? Tighten that clockwise. Maybe even untighten just a little then re-tighten. If thats not tight enough to seal the pump you won't be getting proper suction.

    Has been my problem many, many times. They say NOTES NOTES NOTES, but it is hard to notate every little drop or smidgen you put in especially if you do not know for a week if it made a difference or not

    I agree completely, and at the start I wrote on masking tape on the mixes. Which didn't work :lol: handwritten notes get lost way too easily for me.

    I found the only method that works for me is using the Notes: portion of my ejuice calculator app
    That way everything I tweak, I can note it at the same time. And a lot of the time I tweak something that I've previously written: perfect! don't change a thing!!!!!! :facepalm:

    I get there in the end....... usually ;)
