leaking attys possibly solved

[peter12]

Seems the lemo 2 and billow my misses is using keep leaking on her. Nothing of biblical proportions but always from the base area. I stripped them down completely checked o rings. Cleaned them. Did this 2 or 3 times and nothing worked.

Turns out when they make the sizzling noise she has been holding the power button and blowing into the drip tip to stop it "hissing" at her. I guess once or twice she must have got hot juice spit in her mouth.

Anyways I'm hopeful that this is the route cause of the issue. Fingers crossed no more leaks ;p

They did have occasional leaks when I used them, but I solved rhat before passing them to her. Think that was a wicking issue.

I find with the lemo 2 you have to be careful when refilling to avoid subsequent leaking .. Ensure the AFC is closed, fill slowly at an angle and leave an air bubble just as you would when filling a kayfun.

You don't find it best to fill whilst on its side ?

Will try on a 45 degree angle next time then

I know that is what Eleaf suggest as a way of getting maximum juice into it but I tried it that way a couple of times and each time it didn't exactly leak but wept juice from the AFC slot so I went back to the tried and tested kayfun method and it has been fine every time since.

@yinyang yes that exactly what happens with mine. Juice seeps through the AFC ring and then ends up between base and mod. Not loads but enough to be an issue

Will try filling on an angle from now on

Never seen the kayfun3thod so not sure on that.sorry

Just hold the lemo at an angle Peter and fill slowly allowing the air to be expelled by the incoming juice. Watch the air bubble inside the tank slowly rise as you fill and stop filling just before the bubble would disappear. Straighten up the tank, close the filler and open the AFC. .. Job done.

I fill my Lemo 2's until juice appears at the fill slot, then let some juice get sucked back into the bottle, just enough to allow me to close it without it dripping down the side of the tank. Not had many leaks with them, only when I first filled them, which was a wicking issue (not enough to stop flooding).

I do close the AFC first, and vape on it for 3 or 4 draws afterwards to get the vacuum back.

+1 close the air in ring before opening the top.....
