Zephyrus V2 HELP!

[Nuclear Coffee]

I like the tank alright. I use the build deck. So it leaks and leaks and leaks some more. I'm running 70/30, VG/PG. I DYI my juice so I know that it. In desperation I pack the cotton, I mean stuff it in there, more than I have ever done with My kanger subohm plus or Lemo 2. That helped alot, no more leaking by just sitting there not being used.
BUT. It leaks like hell on filling. I make sure not to pump it in there too fast. I make sure the hole I'm not using is clear so the air can get out. What do I need to do?

 

[Nuclear Coffee]

I should have said leaks bad on refilling the first time no leaks at all.

did you close the bottom airflow holes prior to opening the top to refill? Is it leaking during refill or after you twist close the top refill thingie.

 

[Nuclear Coffee]

I close the bottom, fill the tank. When I open the bottom you can tell that it has "puddled" in the air flow area from filling. Also I made sure the tank was cold. I didn't use it all day. I then filled it.

Well I think somewhere you have a bad seal that's causing the leaking. Try replacing the orings

Hmm bad out of the box.. it could happen

I have the zeph v2 and I've used the RBA in my rotation for about 2 weeks. I didn't get any leakage during refilling.

Only times I would get leakage is if I left the tank unattended for a couple days with juice in it in direct sunlight.

I would replace all the o-rings to see if that solves your problem.

I know what the problem is.
Ive got half a dozen RBA's now, some are good and some are just rubbish and its a shame about the Zephyrus it vapes nicely.
I noticed vapour in the tank and that led me to focus on the union with the chimney and the atomiser.
Nice fine thread but there's no seal, vapour comes through the thread into the tank and juice flows through the thread into the coil area and out of the bottom.
Today I have written to UD explaining that the tank is faulty bu design and am waiting for a reply.

I like the vape the Zeph V2 puts out even with their prebuilt coils but you are right. B/c of the nature of the design the tank is a PIA to assemble and disassemble especially the top + bottom parts where the chimney screws into the deck cover.

I had the RBA leak on me because the top portion unscrewed the RBA section from the bottom section during refill.

I actually haven't had any leaking issues with either of my Zeph V2s, but I see what you mean about this junction not having a seal. Something to keep an eye on, for sure.

I guess if lucky you get one with a nice tight thread, mine is fairly slack.
If I assemble the chimney and atomiser withouth the glass it is wobbly. With the stock coil all jammed with cotton it lasted quite a while before the leaking became apparent. Get it hot then let it rest with fluid above the union and I get a puddle every time.

I was frustrated with the leak/dry hits I was struggling with. I drilled 4 holes the in the barrel. I marked the barrel when it was installed and drilled each hole in front of where the wick channel was inside. Now I can use a little more cotton inside. I use the tails of the cotton to tuck down in the channel and the rest to cover the holes.
Now I love this tank! No leaks even when filling(air flow closed). Absolutely no dry hits. I'll try taking some photos of how I did it. I have two of these, what difference.
