Penelope advice please

[Balllsy]

I can only get about 15 drops of liquid into my Penny before she leaks through the 510 connector.

Is this normal or should I be able to get more in ?

I always close drip tip before filling and always screw top back on slowly.

Thanks for any help

Sounds like the very bottom 'O' ring could be split / deteriorating, or the section inside the ceramic may be loose from the post assembly, 2.5ml (@75 drops) is normal capacity iirc.

I would go watch a few youtube vids about assembly, sounds like it's not set up right.
I didn't watch this, just the 1st that came up

OK thanks all for the very helpful replies. Saved pictures and links for a rainy day when I have some spare time to take her apart and have a closer look

Balllsy what diameter wick are you using? The Penelope must have 3mm in the channels or it will leak

[Balllsy]

Not sure OD It was already wicked for me. I'll get it cleaned and rewicked over the bank holiday and check o rings. See how it goes

check the ring that you screw down to hold the wire the one that goes over the wick as mine has a smove side and a ridge side it ridge side goes down to hold the wire if that makes scene as i have had the same problem with mine and this helped me with the problem
