Leaking vivi tank

[Tom]

Anyone has an experience with the metal tubes for vivi nova?

I got one today but can't seem to stop it leaking.

My o rings seem in good condition and it is done up tight.

Just has a slow leak through that you can't notice but has juice around the seams if left for over an hour...

Hmmm

I've got an stv that does that. One out of four stvs. Same as yourself, only noticeable if you leave it for an hour. Can't see any reason for it.

I'm gutted looks really nice and I only have this one. It's brand new today so don't know whether to speak to vendor or not.

I might try it on a couple of different bases and see if it still does it.

Only problem is they're all full of juices!!

Thanks for your reply

Drained the bloody thing about 4 times today...

Which meant cleaned the syringes about 4 times today...

Better luck tomorrow!

It may be leaking from the rubber top on the burner head if it only leaks when its on its side

Leaks from the bottom when its on a mod,

leaks from both top and bottom when its on its side.

Thanks though Rich

Put some PTF tape around threads, might help

As suggested, you could try putting the metal tank on the opposite way. The only other thing I can think of, is the o-rings. Also, make sure the head is on tight. It can come loose when you unscrew the tank.

Cheers chris - tight as I could get it.

Do you think I should add o rings?

The ones on the vivi top and bottom look ok.
