vivi nova leaky bottom - nappy needed?

[Ratfinkz]

I have a vivi nova that's leaking from the centre pin at the bottom. Have taken it apart cleaned it screwed everything back in tightly but all to no avail (filled it with water couple of times to check) any idea what could be causing the problem or if it's fixable??? Got it in latest health cabin so it's not old! I know they don't last forever but would expect a bit longer life span! I know you can buy new heads and new plastic covers for them but can you buy new middle bits? ANd if so do I need to or can I fix myself and where's cheapest???

Thanks

Sarah if it's definitely leaking from the centre pin the only two places the juice can get in at where the head screws into the body or where the head meets the mouthpiece. Has the head still got the little O ring at the top of the threads?

you didn't manage to sort yours then Judgey?

BTW your avatar pic seems to have gone walkabout

[judgey]

no mate i did do what u said but did not do anything

haha i know i should rly fix that

Mine has a small leak too & it is very tight on the draw

I've only had leaks out of one vivi of mine, I suspect it is a clone and not the real thing if I can find some rubber o rings to fit I can probably fix it though

[Ratfinkz]

Ooo not sure about the o ring I know the bottom one still fits, but surely with water in and standing upwards there'd be no chance for it to get in through the top o ring anyhow? (Only filled to max line)

I don't mean the O ring between the tank and the top. If you look at a new head there's a small clear O ring on that where it screws into the centre pole

Just checked under head and yes o ring is still attached and not broken at all!!!

mine are also doing this at the moment, recently gave them a good clean as well, very odd as they haven't leaked previously but I have just changed from 70/30 pg/vg to 50/50, will give em a day or two and take them apart again.

I think the quality of the novas varies considerably. Mine is in my spares box
