Only thing that whistles on my Russian is the drip tip itself

Ended up grabbing one of the very small o rings from the bag of extras the r91 comes with. Seems like this is one of an extra pair of o rings for the center post screw.
This fixed the issue completely; no leaks whatsoever.
My russian have a brother now
Looks exactly like the two I got from eBay. Is that where you got yours?

people getting multiple KFL's and R91's makes me want to get another one too (1 r91) lol.
So in attempt to prevent r91 deck from moving when adjusting the contact screw, i might have overtightened it and now the insulator has a slight indention in it brining the middle part in more. Anyone know where to get replacement insulators?
Hey all, just got my R91% tonight at a local. They did up a 1.8ohm kanthal coil with cotton for me. Worked great for about 30 minutes, but now seems to have a wicking issue... thoughts?
You mentioned cotton, was it as micro coil? Micro coils are the only way to go with cotton otherwise it will burn like mad.
Also, make sure the amount of cotton used was relitavely small. It takes very little cotton in these setups.
Lastly, make sure the tails of the cotton wick are not "stuffed" into the juice wells. They should lay gently into the juice well, resting onto the bottom.
You may find the need for a primer puff. Some folks have smaller wick channels than others and require the primer to create more vacuum/juice flow between hits.

Sounds like you need to open up the airflow a little more.I can't find it now, but I remember somebody else having this problem. After re-wicking my R91 was working great last night. Today it is suddenly leaking out of the airflow. What would/could be the cause of this? All orings look good. Thanks.
User Error #2 - Do NOT open the top half of the Russian 91% "just to see where the level is".. Just don't. It will flood. Great for rewicking tho![]()
