Bleeding Squape

[Greg]

Well got the Squape set up tonight and it's leaking like a sieve. I'm pleased to say leaking not from the tank but out of the airhole and the seam underneath the atty.
Now the deck definitely clicked into position but I'm wondering if the deck oring is installed or if I've pushed it out pushing the deck in as I didn't juice the oring (if it's there) before fitting the deck.

Alternatively maybe my wicking is just pants, even on the biggest airhole it's gushing !

I'll have to whip the coil out tomorrow and check oring situation.

Any other thoughts ?

Although it looks ok from the pics it could just need more wicking material, if you don't get enough in juice can leak through but it's usually a gurgle not a flood.

Thanks Mev, I'll try and stuff more CW in tomorrow

It's far more than a gurgle, left it should on the table for half an hour to find the Provari base stood in a puddle

And and I did ask nicely

No Greg I suffer in silence, I'll sort it out as I'm sure you will with your Squape, I've still to build my one, built the Focal one OK but ohms started jumping, replacement parts are on their way for that. The arron one has just been cleaned and will probably get played with tomorrow.

Carry on with your thread now, I wont disturb you again

[Greg]

Thanks Mev

Rewicked this morning with a big wedge of rayon and not a drop has escaped, I do hope I'm not tempting fate

Also checked the internal oring and it looked fine but gave it a little juice anyway, what a pig the decks are to get off once you've used them.

Lesson learned then mate

These Squapes are an absolute cracking vape once you've gotten through that learning curve of how much wick to stuff in them, too much and it chokes and provides dry hits- not enough and you have a nice puddle of juice in your lap and a very gurgly vape
Get the balance right though and they are full of flavour
Tip, if you overdo it a little with the wick and can't be assed to re-do it then just drop down an air hole on the control ring and a tighter vape will suck more juice in.
