Vivi Nova Metal Tank Leak

[hutchin]

Hi, today I received my metal tank for the Vivi Nova from UK E Cig store.
I wanted one because I am still uncertain which Juices wreck Polycarb.
However, after fitting and filling, I had 2 tugs on it and was enjoying my
new WizMix watermelon juice, when I felt juice on my Ego Twist and all over my
fingers. It is just oozing out of the bottom of the metal Tank. So I've had to revert to the original tank. Has anyone else had this prob and is there a workaround out there?

I use a metal tank on mine, no problems, the only time I've heard of people having problems, its been because they didn't quite get the threads correctly lined up, they can be tricky little buggers to screw together properly, could it have been because of that?

Hi alvoram,
It appeared to be seated correctly, one of the strengths IMHO of the Vivi Nova, is that the threads have a very positive feel and fit to them. However when I fitted the metal tank, it didn't "feel' like a tight fit, unlike the polycarb does.

Hmmm, Mine's a well fitted thread, although it is tricky to get right, and I can cross thread it easily, but that applies to both the poly and the metal one, apart from that, and when I get it right, it does feel tightly on. If nobody else has any ideas, perhaps you should just contact the vendor and get it replaced, see if a different tank is any better. Don't give up on the metal tanks, mine is great, and it is nice to be able to put any juice in without worry...

...I love mine, I'm just trying to find a way of getting rid of that burning rubber taste without using no-resistance wire on the legs when I rewick it

An obvious question, but have you still got the O ring on the bottom threads?

I had 2 leaky metal tanks. I think there were a batch of them that weren't right. I was told to reverse the tank, put the top on the bottom. Do it up, then put it back and see If it stopped the leaking. Mine didn't. From memory, I can't remember there being a bottom o ring?
