As the title suggests...
...I have 2 stardusts which have developed fine cracks around the base and are now leaking! I'm pretty hacked off as its the best part of £10 down the swanny! The only fix I can think of is to tape them up, which I really don't want to do as it will look awful.
Does anyone sell just the bodies? I haven't seen any, but hopefully someone may have on their virtual travels???

Thanks Brian $1.29!!! I'm guessing they'll not be that cheap if/when they do make it over here?!!!

I use Amweld that Gordy posted a link to. You just brush it on and it seals the cracks.
None of the V2 types (with the raised tube) have developed cracks though so maybe they've got the plastic formula right on these?

I bought clear V2's (the one with the cone washer) from e-cig wizard about 5 weeks ago. They developed one crack each but have shown no signs of the crazing that was prevalent in the one's that were shipped immediately after Chinese New Year. Those one's cracked real bad. However, the V2 versions that I bought have a glue holding the bottom compression ring in place and are a lot harder to pull off.. I am still using them though. I intially used some sellotape but then used EMA plastweld which seems to do the trick and stop the cracks on it's tracks. Available from any local hobby/RC model making store for about £3.50 for 57 ml. I am still using them after 5 weeks and have rewicked them several times..The one's that cracked very badly I just transported the innards into a giantomiser tube like so: i44.tinypic.com/3bvxi.jpg[/img]

I was thinking of buying the chinese ones but I was put off when I read the small print ' only use our juice or they may crack' , as i have a stack of juices no way was I going to buy more just to use their stardust.
