Why does the Atomizer fill with juice

[Rhody]

Well I'm new to the GG family....have a SS gg stealth, and just bought a UFS V2 off the classifieds. The UFS is working very well except
for one thing....When I fill it up, the atomizer gets full of liquid, now I have everything closed, everything screwed in tight, but still the
atomizer gets full of liquid.

I wouldn't imagine this is the way it's supposed to be, unless there's an O-ring missing or something.
Hope someone with certainly more knowledge than me, can help me with this.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY GG

Did you try a different atomizer? The China atomizers can be inconsistent in how they meet against the steel base of the UFS

Do you have the extender that goes on top of the atty? If you do have that then flooding can only be down to the atty connection. You'll have to close off the juice control and keep trying tiny adjustments to get it working right.

Before you start troubleshooting, I would strongly recommend watching this video so you can get to know the UFS and all it's parts. Then, I would take it apart, examine everything, clean, and reassemble.

Otherwise, you could be chasing the problem.

Thanks everyone....well I took it apart, looked everything over...watched the above video about 5 times..LOL and the liquid stayed out of the atomizer. Can't tell you why the juice didn't get into the atomizer, but I'm happy. I don't have an atomizer extender, so I put it in short mode, and it seems to be working fine. You've all been great, and again, thanks for your help

Awesome !

I've got a thread, somewhere around here on the forum, that shows an easy way to make an extender using an old delrin drip tip and a carto tube. It should show up with a search....

Or you could just go to Para's profile and look at his posted threads. I have to say that I have gotten a TON of info from Para over the months and without exception, it has all been good.

It will take some time to get used to it..
Make sure you have "closed" everything.

I also found using a 306 with a long drip tip good with the V2 cap.
If lots of juice ends up in the bottom tank (flooded/gurgly) you can take the tip off, & "draw/suck" it back into the "main" tank.

Ok, I figured out what is happening...
1. I put the UFS together until I get to the top cap (in short mode)
2. Then I fill the tank up, to the top of the clear window
3. The top cap has an O-ring which when put on, fits over the atomizer to make a seal
4. picture this, I go to put the top cap on, it makes a seal around the atomizer and start to screw it down

The more I screw it down, with the seal of the o-ring, it forces the juice to go somewhere because of the pressure

I actually watched as I screwed the top cap on the UFS, the atomizer filling with juice. So I emptied all out again and started over, except this time I took the o-ring out of the top cap, filled the tank, screwed on the cap, THEN put the o-ring on

The air control ring closed, the juice control ring closed also. I noticed in one of Imeo's videos, that he put the O-ring in last after filling it and putting the top cap on.....

I just want to know, is this normal? Maybe I need to try another atomizer. It's really not a biggy, I just needed to know exactly what the problem was, and it bothered me all day, so I had to find it.

I guess me and my GG/UFS were made for each other, I'm a troubleshooter by nature, and with this setup, troubleshooting is sometimes needed
Anyways, thanks all for listening and trying to help, love you guys

put the big cap, then o-ring, then screw very slow the small cap rhody

 

[Rhody]

Thank you for weighing in Imeo....I am so excited about my ss stealth and UFS, it's a perfect fit. I want to learn everything there is about it.
Being from a Greek family myself, this means something special to me. Thank you Imeo

 

[imeothanasis]

a real greek man then. I am happy about that buddy!

 

[Rhody]

No, a real Greek woman...LOL...you are so sweet Imeothanasis

 

[imeothanasis]

ah, I didnt know!! Very sorry about this my dear

 

[martinc]

I have the same mod coming to me,thanks for this tread it should be smooth sailing

 

[k3v1n]

I wish it was smooth sailing, I've been using mine for 3 days solid and still haven't licked this thing yet.

I get it just right with the juice control and air control and then have to open the top cap to release the vacume.

I'm not sure if it's the 1.5ohm LR atty I'm using or just the design of the UFS.

It's not an easy piece of kit to master, well mine isn't.

I still get either to much liquid or not enough and sometimes it leaks out the four holes on the collector tank.

I will struggle on.
