cany Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Does anyone know if theres a seal/O-ring that goes down inside the air control valve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Had a bad leak last night while it was sitting I was wondering if I lost something when I cleaned it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 No o-ring that I'm aware of, but I can tell you that my Nautilus (full-size) leaks like crazy when left sitting in the rack for more than a few hours, especially if not tip-top full... I've had to clean up juice leakage more than once from under it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Ive had it sitting for a few hrs on my toolbox and no leak yet. Maybe when I cleaned it/put new coil in I didnt tighten the coil enough :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Forgot to add the coil was flooded bad also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yep, I've found the BVC flood faster than the BDC, but they both flooded, and eventually leaked for me. Hopefully, not having it snug enough was the issue for yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 In the week I had it It never leaked only after I cleaned it and changed the coil. I thought maybe I lost something using the air blower at work to dry it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 There is an oring on the atomizer, a new one comes on each atomizer. At least every one I've bought does. Never had an issue with leaking in the 3 months I have had mine. I keep it in my shirt pocket on a VTR most of the time. GeorgeF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfolse107 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 When changing a coil, I make sure to clean any juice inside the base where the spring is with a paper towel. GeorgeF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecignut Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I have never had a leak on my Nautilus mini since I started to use it - it is a great tank - the only problem I have is taking the base off to fill it - sometimes it is really tight even although I only finger tighten when putting it together again.

Yeah mines a real pain to get loose sometimes too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecignut Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi Cany - I think the problem is the same threading direction as when you fit the tank onto the mod and you then tighten it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh over tightening without realizing it :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecignut Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Even when you know about it the problem remains - it is a hard one to solve - I have tried just holding the base to put it on the mod but still have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Guess we just gotta deal with it :yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecignut Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Yes I guess so - it is still the best tank but the coils can be inconsistant some lasting two weeks others only about 8 days. The K1 which is my other tank has the same kind of BVC coil but a smaller edition - I have the same problem with that as well - both tanks are worth the problem though - great taste at low power.
