Will taking out the bottom airflow screw of a Kayfun Lite stop any leaks

[FundamentalForce]

I have a genuine kayfun lite v2 and sometimes experience minimal dripping on to my mods. It's not really significant, just annoying. Will removing the bottom airflow screw remedy this problem? Looking at the design it seems that it might. Or am I really off base? I might add that this has become an issue only recently and I have no idea why. Thanks for any imput!

Or you could replace the o ring on the fill screw.

I can't seem to think of a way that removing the air flow adjustment screw would help. If anything it would make things worse as juice that might make it out the air hole would now drain onto your mod.

As Hugh says, it would allow it to drain down to the mod, if it leaks, but it shouldn't make it leak.

Maybe your coil/wick is just a tad lower than your normal build. Too low and it can drip/ooze a little. Generally if an O-ring, anywhere, is bad, mine will do a lot more than drip. Closer to drain

That's true, my coil is a little closer to the air hole in this build. I appreciate it. It's funny, just happened when I got my ProVari 3.

Just too eager to fire up the new baby, eh

Pretty much

I had some leaking issues out the air hole on my SvoeMesto KFL+. It was either from crossthreading the plastic tank or the top o-ring the chimney goes through. I replaced both at the same time and the leaking stopped.

BTW, I've been using the KFL without the air hole screw entirely.

Taking the airflow screw out will not affect the vacuum lock of the tank. Leaks occur when the tank loses it's vacuum seal, or when you cover the air hole and draw liquid into the chamber and flood it on purpose. If you need o-rings, I supplied the links below to the sizes you need in Vitron (chemical resistant). I find they last a lot longer and the chimney one is a little thicker and
