You are dripping into the atty correct??

I just cant see the juice not collecting in the CT.
Also what
do you mean by "adjusted and readjusted???"

they realy is not adjustment. You put the rethreader in, you put the 901 on and you pu the tank on then the lid. The hole for the 901 should be below the lid and all the juice should be either vaped up or in the collector tank.

I agree also... the o rings for the CT or connector cap may not be seated right or not lubed would cause leakage...but still would be some juice inside the CT....I can also see juice coming through the air holes in the tank past the rethreader somehow and onto the outside and on your hand, again, you had to have some in the CT too...

I doubt it's coming through the side of the collection tank because the holes are above the atomizer. I would check the o-rings on the center pin and see if ejuice is seeping from that area. Best thing to do is take it apart, examine, lube, and clean all the threads and connections. Reassemble making sure nothing is cross threaded or stripped and gaskets are in good shape.....watch for ejuice while you vape.

That's a bit of a puzzle so let us know what you find.

sorry for the confusion I had to go out.. but that is what I do not understand, it is coming from the top 4 breather holes of the ct.. when I say I adjusted and readjusted I mean the airflow control ring (thought maybe I had it open too much at first) the o rings are fine.... if I shut the airflow control ring all the way I can get no draw whatsoever and I do mean none..... but I just cannot for the life of me figure this out

I'd love to find out how the liquid is draining out the 4 holes in the bottom of the connector and then up to the 4 holes in the control tank.

Do you have the GGTS vertical or nearly so when you vape? It could leak out the air hole in the side of the atomizer directly to the top of the control tank, but the GGTS would have to be pretty much horizontal.

I think you have it para.... I have started to take notice and now I make sure the breather holes are up instead of down there is a lip inside my ct... Im sure they are probably all the same..but I do not think the juice ever made it to the bottom of the tank, it was never wet when I checked it, I think it was draining out the air hole in the atty, sitting on the lip inside the ct, then right out the air holes in the ct.. Prolly cuz the way they line up so well.... Problem solved. I suspected this but the pictures confirmed it.... Thanks so much para. This family is amazing....

glad you got it solved... more n likely the air pressure inside the tank because of the seal on the 901 and the flow cap caused it to shoot out the air holes of your atty after a draw... i hadnt thought about the fact the 901's airholes are further up on the sides when i mentioned your juice possibly coming out the CT air holes in my earlier post, I was stumped by what couldve caused it. I have no 901's but do have some bloog 808's and didnt realize the vents are different for both..... para, good job posting those pics....
