UFS Problems

[Valsacar]

So, got second GGTS today with UFS... and even when it's closed (all the way to the top.. right?) it's gurgling like it's flooded (and relatively little vapor, just like it's flooded).

Just using a LR 510 I got from greenhouse one. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here...

 

[Valsacar]

I think I figured it out... I didn't get the atomizer extension piece, so there is a gap at the top.... anything I can do about that?

Maybe a way to use a tube from a CE2 as an extension?

Cut down a driptip.

I forgot I had ordered the new UFS top and that could make it smaller... tried that (per the video, removing one piece of the tank) and it is STILL flooding.

Turning tbe top counterclockwise closes off the tank.
If its flooded, close the tank and vape the CT. If it still gurgles you might have to empty both.
Close off the tqnk every time it gets the top removed, filling and so-on.

When u first fill in the juice into ufs did you close the CR and ufs base? If u didn't close the ufs base, the juice u fill will go straight into the arty causing flood and gurgling. Hence little vapor.

Both were completely closed every time I filled it, and I took it all apart to make sure there was no juice anywhere. Still gurgling, some vapor coming out but relatively little. CR is still closed, and yet there is no sign of it stopping... still flooded.

Right now it's sitting, upside down (DT off) with air full open with me blowing into the air holes... good amount of juice coming out.

Not sure whether there's a proper method, but everytime if I forgot to close the tank and get flooded, I'll empty out my juice and make sure I close everything and fill the juice in again.

Ok, after blowing it out like mad, and using a rolled up napkin to get juice that didn't want to leak out of the atty... it seems to have stopped, multiple hits without a gurgle (still closed) and flavor is starting to get weaker... time to open it up a little and see what happens.

 

[Valsacar]

This is seriously pissing me off, even with everything closed it's STILL leaking like crazy, a whole tank (running out of juice now) just dumped into the collector tank... AGAIN.

 

[Valsacar]

Just the bottom of the tank on right now, no juice, CR and air 100% closed... I can still inhale though the atty (it's connected as well)... my iAtty, on my other GGTS, I cannot breath when air is 100% closed. Is this normal?

Stop, take a minute off away from it, just step away. It took a little while to get used to mine, when that happened it just worked.
Its probably some thing to do with how your atomizer is seating when its screwed in. It could also be how snug the top of the atomizer is in its seal, it should be snug.
There is an oring on the tall connector where it goes into the tank to, that can leak if its damaged or missing.

Not normal afaik. One thing to check is how your atomizer is seated. When you screw in your atomizer the juice control should be 100% open (all the way down), once you've screwed in your atomizer you close the juice control. I'm guessing one of three things:

1) your atomizer is not seated properly (JC not in full open position when atomizer is screwed in).

2) bad atty or incompatible atty design (have you tried another brand to be rule this out?).

3) bad o-ring near the top of the atty connector stem.

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Two things pop in as possibilities.....

1. Missing o-ring somewhere.
2. Cheap-... GH1 atty, you have to use a decent one such as Joye, it was talked about early on.

I had the same problem. Had a bunch of 510 lr attys I bought from Greenhouse One in bulk. Tried to used them in UFS. They won't seal in the tank and it leaked terribly. I got some good quality attys and no more problem for me.

 

[Harley]

"Cheap" atomizers are NOT for use in the UFS..

 

[silentt]

Some people have great success with 'cheap' attys but I only use avidvapers from now on. After a cheap atty shorted on me from the start and my ggts button got really hot and I freaked out.. I never wanted that to happen again.

 

[lee72]

I'm currently vaping with the cheapest LR510 I could find and the UFS is performing like a dream. I can't say how long it will last but I'm enjoying it while I can. Huge clouds of vapour and lovely flavour.

 

[Valsacar]

Well, I don't have any others right now, and I don't really see why that would cause a problem. The joye ones are just cheap stuff at high prices, I have never seen or experienced any difference between theirs and better priced ones. Visually, when the tank was fully closed it looked like one piece to me, I couldn't tell where the atty connection was at all.

Unless I want to spend 40 bucks on one atomizer (yes, one, that's what Janty charges here) it will take weeks to get more. It is possible I didn't have it fully open when I put the atomizer on though... I'll have to check that tonight as my friend has it right now.

I don't know if you've seen this but it may help.
