My Aspire Mini Nautilus are leaking!

[shez]

Help please

My nauties are quite a few months old and leaking juice.
Is there anything I need to do apart from replacing coils?
If there is how do I do it?

try replacing any orings used to make the seals, slightly damaged orings may be temporarily repaired with a wrap of pfte tape round and through and round n through etc.. 1 or 2 x all the way round, any more and it may be too bulky as they are not big heavy o-rings used its a trick ive used with great success with 2" diameter and bigger seals, at this scale it may be less effective/too fidly.....

If you have been using the same coils for months then that is almost certainly the problem

Sorry but where are the orings?
Where do get pfte tape?

Coils replaced regularly.

shez check that you don't have any splits in the seal at the bottom of the glass where it meets the base.

You don't say where it's leaking from, do you know?

Some more details please and someone may be able to help.

A tip is never to screw the tank on too tight as this will damage the seal.

Its not an atty im familiar with, so just googled and found this www.aspirecig.com/uploads/manual/mini-en.pdf,
looks like just the one clear oring at the top??  or is it a silicone seal??  

ptfe tape aka plumbers tape is a great thing to have about ptfe is virtually inert, slippy, and both food and heat safe, and wrapped tightly around any thread will help maintain a good seal, might be worth a wrap or 2 round any threads you suspect are leaking..  the way i test seals for leaks is to wipe the article drywhen full  and then wrap it with bog roll, leave a while and unwrap any leaks will leave a tell tale damp patch on the tissue indicating where the leak has come from..

not the best how to vid but if you can stomach the presenter it covers all the basics wrap clockwise and taught but not too tight so it snaps, and not over the open edge..

Fit a new o'ring on the base, and all will be well, I wouldn't bother with the ptfe tape, if you got to buy tape, just buy the o'ring.

Bluefish do you know where I can buy these?
How do you fit?

Thanks

The only place that seems to sell them is Aspire themselves

ukvapers.org/Thread-Nautilus-seals

America has them lol online.aspirecig.com/aspire-nautilus-mini-accessories-p-79.html

An official uk distributor, may be worth contacting them as not showing, www.ecigaspire.co.uk/aspire-nautilus-mini/

If you do get one, use a small screwdriver to poke the old one out, but when it comes to putting the new one in just push it in as far as you can with fingers, and then screw the glass on to seat it properly, don't use anything sharp to prod it down as that could that could break it.
