If it's 100% not the juice i would be inclined to say that the problem lies in the base/head when screwing in it's putting pressure on the center tube pushing it up causing the crack, so the possibilities arise again, is the head a hair thin too long or the rubber bung a hair thin too thick...Or even the plating maybe thicker.....it's endless possibilities

Whatever the cause, would you say I'd be justified in getting the store credit from LF? I'm uncomfortable claiming it if I'm at fault, but I genuinely don't think I am (yet). It's a toughie!

Deffo, and then it's down to them to contact their supplier to find out what is going on.

Right then, will do. Thanks all!

At the end of the day it's not your problem, none of the stuff comes with instructions so nobody can say you are doing something wrong, you are simply filling it up, it breaks, not your fault.

Refund

EDIT: It's not like your asking for juice to go all over yourself is it, or do you have a fetish

The bloody car absolutely reeked of apple pie (as that's where the SS evod decided to die), but since it's the hubby's car it was a vast improvement!

I've seen a similar thread to this, maybe on another forum and seem to remember that the cause was overtightening of the bases which caused stress cracking at the base of the tip.

Yes I wrote this yesterday

Leaking cracking oh my God .... Am I the only lucky one ...lol

I have 4 Evods 3 genuine ones and a clone I have had them for over 4 months fault free, I have only replaced one coil and that was because I lost the o ring when I was cleaning it, that said I have had to sort some out for friends.

for the most part, most of the problems I have seen have been as a result of over tightening some part of them and the biggest clue to this comes from the clone because it wont work on over half of my batteries.

No pipe wrench needed ..:

When you put these together every thing only needs to be finger tight, the head has two o rings one seals it to the base and the one on the top seals the air tube, the base has one main o ring that seals it to the body, over tightening can split them.
The other thing is the battery if you use a gen evod tank on a gen evod bat you wont have any problems but we don't ....! there is two problems that can happen here

1 it wont reach the post so it wont fire and this is why the clone wont work on some of mine
2 the post is to high on the battery and over tightening it will put pressure on the coil compressing every thing and can result forcing it out of the top as we can see with Jen about, that said all you have to do is stop tightening as soon as you feel it start to tighten just enough so it fires, you will be amazed how little this is.

DON'T OVER TIGHTEN THEM ...!!

I really hope this helps

I had the same problem
allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/23546/evod-problem?page=1&scrollTo=436960
I mix my own juice blueberry the cracking was the same as yours the early evods all cracked the later ones from FT are or seem ok
with the same juice

I would go with either manufacturing fault or overtightening, myself, or a combination of both. Bit of a pain in the bum!!

If I overtighten mine the battery shorts out. keep them loose.
