I dont see anything, maybe it is a little off but this is the one opened on Saturday and the draw is currently non existent (think sucking on a straw with the bottom pinched!)and then BAM juice in mouth!

Send the misbehaving ones to me if you want MrsMac and I will find out what the problem is..

I'm sure the guys will get your Stardust problems sorted out for you MrsM . . . the one that Macca rewicked/coiled for me, is now working beautifully.

Haven't had any leaking/juice in mouth issues with mine I must confess.

I had one leak but I think it's because I bashed it with a hammer a fair few times when rewicking

Do you find it tastes great, but then all of a sudden it tastes strange... like a burnt taste, but even though there is still quite a bit of juice in there...

That's the wick getting dry, when you find this happening, tilt it till the juice touches the wick and give it a chance to soak in.

Hi blakey, Thanks.. just put the stardust back on so will give that a go. there is plenty of juice etc.. it was starting to put me off using it.

[Mrsmac]

Having popped some in the post to those more able to disect, I have come across another theory. On a fresh one today paired with my new velvety red ego type battery, I wondered if there was any chance that I may be screwing down the tip too tight, i.e. overtightening. So I screwed it on but not as tight as previous days where I became scared of the original symptoms and just now as I went to refil, I took it off the battery to see....dry batt...hmmmm

Latest improvement to the Stardust second picture.

I ordered 4 of these from e-cig wizard with 15% discount code ECR69, which works out to £4.37 each delivered, and they just arrived.

They are all version 2 with the little additional cone..

[Mrsmac]

do let us know how they get on!!

[maccafan]

I filled one up..primed it and blew it clear and vapes just as nicely as version 1.

The cone is just additional protection to prevent juice that manages to recondense and also any juice that manages to get under the bottom end of the mothpiece (if not screwed on properly and sealed) dripping back down the center post.

I see, not sure whether to get one of these of wait for the rainbow ones anything else arrive in the post today

Yeah I got your two stardusts MrsM.

I can't test them for leaks without the mouthpieces though..

I'll use one of mine for now. Where were you getting the leaks from?

[Mrsmac]

Mainly after filling, get the gurgling, sometimes a pop followed by a tight draw then juice in the mouth. Usually when that happends a short while after there is a build up of juice on the battery end including connectors and up under the skirt of the SDust. I was in such a rush yesterday to get them out I rinsed and run :-[ lol

[maccafan]

Just to clarify one more thing..Can you see a translucent silicone washer on your mouthpieces near the threads?
