If it will help Bonny, I did a mod video here: Vornado Modding - YouTube Once you get past my shaking, it is a decent video in showing how to dismantle and reassemble your Vornado. If you take it apart, you may find a hairline crack in the center tube (a.k.a. cone). I have some like this. GV sells some glue -- when it is in their page -- that will most likely act as a great seal for the crack, and is safe in vaping accessories.
I actually got some glue from Bad & Chris, they kindly threw some in my last order. All I can say is "WOW"! I had vertical cracks near the bases on 2 of my Stardusts, and a vertical crack on the inner tube of the Vornado...smeared on some glue, waited overnight anddddddd, GOOD AS NEW! You just got to getcha some bebe
