And here was me going to look out for you bringing a lorry load of tea bags.  ! Would it be ok to use a teabag twice?!!!! I trust they are of the "Yorkshire Tea" standard or thereabouts & not crappy co-op own brand, or that gay "Earl Grey" scented stuff or such muck..........I have a reputation to uphold you know (however low it may be.....  ) "Life...........is just a bowl of tricks!!!!!!" |

The way I fettled mine was place the sleeve bottom down on a sheet of wet and dry (on a flat surface, kitchen work top is ok)and give it a couple of rubs keeping it square. Refit to finger tight and check the position of the holes. After about 4 repeats I got the 2 holes both sides directly either side of the coil. Its so much easier then to tuck the cotton against them. Im currently testin a home wrapped coil, .3 wire round a blunt green needle at 1.4. If fuel economy hasnt improved with this build Im back on the regular heads for good. & did it cure the leak completely phtumshk ? "Life...........is just a bowl of tricks!!!!!!" |

& my reply to them:..................
Hi Richard & thanks for replying....
The main problem is trying to get cotton down the sides of where the wire terminals are to cover the air holes....there isn't really room to do it, as the chimney is very close to the terminal edges. With a continual "open" tube from the drip tip, through to the bottom of the base, I feel that leakage will be inevitable. It's a shame the rebuildable base couldn't have been modelled on the same principal as the non-rebuildable one, with the 4 extra air holes in the rba bae itself & not underneath. This would have prevented this problem, but I am sure that must have been thought of when designing it & for whatever reason wasn't feasible....... The e-grip is a great little mod & the introduction of the rba base was an excellent idea in principle. A few of my fellow forum members have overcome the problem, by laying the mod flat on it's side when not in use, or, upside down in a pocket. Although that does prevent the leakage, it seems to me to defeat the object of what is otherwise a great mod.
However, I will persevere with it & hopefully improve the leakage problem & maybe an improved rba base may make an appearance at a later date. I've checked all the YouTube videos, but unfortunately, none of them appear to address this problem.
Thanks again for replying
Kind regards
Chris.

As stated, I contacted Joyetech about this leaking problem & received this reply this morning:....
Good Morning Chris,
Thank you for contacting us.
I will try and help as much as I can as the RBA base does require a lot of tweaking until you can get the build just right.
The RBA base does indeed require a little extra cotton around the sides of the device to accommodate the 4 inlet holes for the liquid, you will need to pack a little extra cotton in to avoid this leakage from happening.
Also make sure the coil is almost flush to the air hole on the base to prevent liquid leaking out though the base.
You can trim the cotton as you see fit however I would recommend making sure the base has a bit of cotton all around it to prevent leakage.
The RBA base does require tweaking like any rebuildable atomizer, and you may find it helpful to look on other youtube videos so you have a visual on what to do if you are still struggling.
Kind regards
Richard.
So........it's back to the drawing board for me...........................

I too have to wear a "Bike" full time now, which I hate.........I have the upright magnifying glass thingy with all the arms & stuff, but I never use it.....Too much faffing about for my liking........That jobbie though, is quite nifty, providing you can alternate the lense wotsits....Let us know what the lenses are like arron...........I would wear this when out for the evening......Quite fetching I reckon.........
