Why is my RSST leaking?

[Jerry J]

My RSST is leaking a very small amount of juice at the contact point on my mod. Has the seal gone bad? This is only a week old so it's not a war horse.

the part to blame is the top insulator that center post goes through. buy the aga-t2 or agi insulator pack. those will solve the leak issue bc its made from a softer material that fits tighter and seals it.

Thank you so much for the reply! Now to find a dealer that sells the insulator pack. I do REALLY like the RSST so I want to make it right.

Gokunimbus is right, I had the same issue with the v1 ac9 and multiple RSSTs.

What I did to fix the RSSTs was cut down a carto end cap or I think I even used a piece silicone cap from a old CE2 clearo, I'm sure their are a bugillion different types of e-cig caps that could be used. Basically I just cut down a small piece of rubber or silicon that would snugly fit around the center post and barely fit inside the inner tube (that goes between the atty deck and 510). When I assembled the RSST I placed the MacGyver-esk stop at the top of the inner tube and screwed everything together.

Probably not as clean as replacing the shoulder washer but it did stop the leak.
