Maybe you have been slightly over tightening them and the fine rubber seals have become weak  |

I have a leaky Nova - but it's not regular! I can fill 3 times with no incident, and then the next fill seems to lose about 25% of the juice, apparently down the centre tube. I check the head is firmly attached, and that the tank hasn't slightly unscrewed at each end, but a flood of juice into the centre pin of my Vamo and dripping down the body usually happens.
I love the Nova apart from this - it always seems to happen when I have loaded with my favourite juice, not a less well-liked one that I have used to empty the bottle for mixing!
I'm tempted to get an Evod when funds allow just to see how much better that is!

Never had any problems with any of mine unless I overfill them, then you tend to get a bit of a gurgle from it till the level drops a bit

Peculiar, I admit. I've just cleaned a Nova and refilled it with fresh juice (Blackcurrant and Caramel, of my own recipe, BTW!) and no drips or leaks at all! I've done nothing different to my usual cleaning regime, either.
I'll keep an eye on it and see if it leaks again.
