Uwell Crown RBA Leak

[ezjayy]

This is practically left me scratching my head for answers, and i thought it would be resolved once and for all using a 'S' wick (a wicking style found on Youtube).

When i use bottom filling, it never leaks. But once I use the top fill, even with closed airholes, it leaks like no tomorrow, and there goes my juice.

Anyone here experiencing the same issues, and better yet, managed to resolve it? Do share!

Check rba o-ring, make sure its tight to the afc unit. That is of course if its leaking through afc holes

I had the same problem, I did solve it by filling via the top fast and tightening it properly both top and bottom fill. After a day or 2 I gave up on it, too troublesome and traded it for a billow v2 nano.

will do. And yes for the leaking thru the AFC holes, but strangely enough, only if I use the top fill when setting up the tank.

Thing is, i absolutely love this tank for its flavour and cloud production. So probably gonna stick with the bottom fill until i find a solution. Even tried different wicking styles but no luck so far.

And, i also bought it for the convenience of the top fill function..i mean, what's the use of a top fill when you can't really use it without juice flowing out like Niagara Falls..[emoji24]

OK just kill me already. Now the tank stopped working at all. atomizer cant be detected, even after swapping between RBA and OCCs.

Any assistance/advice is greatly appreciated..

Have you tried disassembling everything, wash it and dry all the parts?

Yeah dude. Did exactly that after I discovered it stopped working all of a sudden. Still a no-go.

Haiya so much for trying this tank.

Tell me about it.. All that excitement came to naught. Sigh.

Try on a different mod..try clean it thoroughly...perhaps got metal bits caught inside.

 

[ezjayy]

Clean it I did Mr HiSh..tried it on a colleague's mod too..even adjusted the 510 connector..but no signs of life.

i had leaking issues with uwell rba as well until i wick it using bunny ears style wicking, stopped the leaks but can't do chain vaping due to dry hits after 3-4 puffs....i will need to try with lesser cotton another time...

 

[frui7cak3]

My crown's leaking too.. After a good wash and dry it still leaks.. Getting mildly annoyed when I get juice on my fings trying to unscrew the tank to bottom fill the bugger..

 

[rustl3r]

So far so gd for me no leaking, wicking is the s style and i tried chain vape 5 to 6 time with no problem.

 

[ezjayy]

Yeap S wick and bunny ear are good styles for the crown with regards to leaks. Just that top filling tho. Behaving like HiShaM on menses.

The built should have little or no bearing on it leaking...the o-ring where it screws into the base and the one to seal the bottom portions'
of the tank should not allow liquid to leaking into the base/AFC chamber. And for that matter top filling should not create enough pressure
to push liquid past those seals either. I took the o-ring from a nickel OCC...which looked larger than the one for the RBA head....and installed
it on the RBA....then top filled, then left it sitting upright/occasionally shook it/tilted on it's side...all the things that prompted leakage, and
so far...no leakage. I will give an overnight test and see....I got this thing because of the universal raves about that it had none of the normal
problems...never leaked....stable resistance...and tasted great. And I didn't go the "clone" route, and got the authentic version...and I get
this ...... mess. Hopefully I remedied the issues.

i guess im the lucky one here.. no leaks unless its my mistake like accidentally unscrewing of tank or did not close AFC before top fill...
as for wiking.. been using normal wicking but switched to Scottish rolls - no issues with this either.

Hi,
S wick or not, it still leaks. For those with leaking issue, what I had tried was to tuck the wick under the coil deck, the air hole under the coil, cover up that place so that the difference in pressure wont allow 'water' to leak out from bottom air channel.

Just my personal experience, now i can fill fully without worrying wasting petrol.
