Nova Leaking

[lynxkat]

Hi People, I was very kindly gifted a couple of new Nova heads by Ian and Di (thank you) at the Carlisle meet, and the first worked brill all the rest of Saturday evening ( and into the early hours actually ) but when I went for my early Sunday morning Vape, (about lunch time) arghh the nova had leaked to empty. So being a bit wiser after the meet so to speak, I swiftly changed the head to my 2nd gifted Nova. But alas that is leaking too.

Seems to be coming from the battery end. All connections seem to be tightened up ok, and can not see any damage to Nova tank. Any guesses as to what I am doing wrong ?.

Don,t worry Di, I did salvage the Jack the Ripple from the 2nd Nova.

Not all heads work with all novas. Some heads (caps (I guess) are shorter than others. If you put a short head on a nova that expects a long one then the juice will get in through the top unless you store them vertically and don't fill right up. Will also tend to whistle.

Another thing that can happen is the centre post gets bent away from vertical.

Thanks Giles, had one option left, to use the head Ian kindly re wicked during a demo etc, just trying that now. Fingers and toes crossed.

Do you still have the head that originally came with the Nova? If so, swop over the little silicone cap with the small metal washer inside - this might just be a workaround.

The head Ian re-wicked is the original head, and is holding out just fine, thanks Andy and I shall keep it vertical, cheers Giles.
