If they had made the top of the 510 above the threads like the one pictured here an o-ring on the atty would fit nicely.

Now you all have me noided out. I just took mine apart to check everything and it's dry as a bone. I probably have run 15-20 refills thru it since I got it and all is well. I just don't see how it could be coming out the top as ring around the deck seals it.
Cool thanks for that info, I was wondering how to change that!!!!
This is where mine leaked from the top of the 510 down into the battery compartment, it is not much of a seal in my case.
Not my picture.
I didn't notice right away that it was doing anything other than having liquid on the landing pad till I removed the battery and it had juice down it' length on one side, then I investigated.

Yeah that is what where I figured it was happening but it could only happen if juice was seeping through the threads. And that could only happen if the bottom of the 510 deck and bottom of atomizer squonk pin were not sealing properly, at least I think that's what would cause that. It can't be coming from anywhere else??? I don't know but now it's bugging me ha ha haThis is where mine leaked from the top of the 510 down into the battery compartment, it is not much of a seal in my case.

I'm finding juice on the top of the topside as well. I ran out of juice in a bottle to fill the topside with its top fill feature and when I went to use my 510 refill bottle found juice on top of the mod. It's the Pulse x bf rda with an o-ring on it and it does not leak at all on the Pulse X bf 90w mod. Same thing happened with my Basic rda without an o-ring. Haven't tried my KRMA rda yet. I have found juice a few times on my hands and where the rda and mod meet and figured I was over-squonking, because the topside squonks a lot very easily, but I'm beginning to wonder if it was juice from the top of the 510/under the rda.
Well my o-ring placed inside the 510 failed to do the job so I put the silicone one back on the atty's 510, that works perfectly.
While I have an extensive collection of o-rings I didn't have what I needed but here is where I scavenged it from.
Silicone squishes pretty easily.

Well I must like mine pretty well as I just ordered a 2nd one.
With the massive amount of pulled and rolled CBV2 wicking I use in the Digi Mesh Pro RDA's that I run on the Topsides it does take some pressure to get the joose up into them from the bottle. Even so neither of my Topsides are leaking under the atty's or into the battery compartment. They do not have o-rings on their 510 to help seal them in the mods 510, and I've put a hellofalot of joose thru them already. So like others I am somewhat perplexed as to what your cause is.
However, I thought of something. In Brian's video about the Topside and it's features he makes it a point to advise how the fire button has a beveled ring around it so any leaking joose from the top of the mod is guided around the fire button so it doesn't run into it. That suggests that he is aware of possible joose coming from the atty/510 connection. Could be as simple as realizing there could be condensed vapor leakage from the atty AFC's, or leakage from the base/cap area of the atty itself (or its 510). Or it could be that he knows it could come from the mods 510 or its seal. If someone could get in touch with him direct, or maybe via his reviewers of the mod, he ought o be able to shed the light on this issue.
The button thing is at 9:13 in the video.

I personally do not think it was designed that way with a mod leak in mind, but rather to help protect the mod in case of over squonking.
Keep in mind that there are no specs for a 510 so there are quite a few various differences to be found from one to another, mainly length and positive pin protrusion.
If I was contemplating one of these I think I'd be tempted to wait. The first batches hardly inspire confidence.
Dealers not knowing what the spare bottles are for (or being wilfully blind about them) and holding them back to sell on (that said, seems a real botch job from Dovpo who can't even design a box big enough to hold the bottle, not a problem Vandyvape had with two types of boxes for the Pulse 80)
Magnets reversed and missed at QC
Problems with firmware updating for some
And towards the end of the thread, leaking!
Well done Dovpo. Pass. Of course, hopefully many folks will get a working and fault free Topside, sure hope so, but this would be too much of a crap shoot for me at the moment.

Used the same o-ring from those Kanger OCC that dwcraig1 did. Still just an atomizer error.
Yes a few of them. Been using a Dead Rabbit 24mm on it since last night.
The same 70VG Yeti Vape Haze Cap I have used in everything for the past 3 years.
Yes very tight. I don't normally screw my attys that tight, but it was something to try.

Select your type of wire. (don't be concerned with shape or gauge)
Note on the left the figure is 1380, this equates to 138 for this device.
Nickel is 6000 = 600.....ect.

Must only be 1/3 mm or less off the deck on mine with the o-ring on.
DovpoUSA contacted me today and he said that if we can't get my Topside to flash (Saturday.. Only time I can do it on the phone with him), then they will replace it. We shall see!
