hotrod351 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 just received a natulius and think its great except for one problem. every time i unscrew the bottom to fill it the coil stays in the chimney, center tube. i have to unscrew it and then screw it into the bottom. ive tried tightening it as much as possible in hopes that it would stay there when i unscrew it to fill but not going to happen. suggestions ?

Tam Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Well, that's a new one. I usually have the problem where I can't even break it loose and get it unscrewed! I hope someone comes along to help you with your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod351 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 yeah because it works great, otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Had this happen to me. When changing coils, the little oring on the bottom of the old coil got stuck in the base and shoved the new coil up. Check the base to see if there is an extra oring stuck in there.

Squid Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 There are a couple other possibilities: As far as I can tell the chimney s pressed into the top cap, maybe yours isn't pressed in all the way. I currently have mine disassembled for cleaning. I have never been able to get the chimney out of the top cap, which is why I assume it's pressed. I haven't tried pliers as I am afraid of mangling the chimney, the walls aren't that thick. The threads in the chimney may be damaged or not complete, making the coil lock to it when you tighten it. Mine is currently apart for cleaning, I'll snap a couple pics before I put it back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have heard others mention this issue, I have had it happen from time to time. For me it happens more with the KPT's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod351 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 seems to thread together fine. not a huge problem but a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Mine does this constantly, and I've attributed it to the coils. Some coils are a fraction taller than others, or the upper threading is a little "tight", causing the coil to remain attached to the chimney and not the base (where the threading is looser and an o-ring is helping to keep it from sticking, causing "spring-pressure"). I've made notes of which coils "hang", and when I rebuild them and re-use them... they still hang in the chimney. Those that didn't out-of-the-box, don't hang after rebuilding, so the only reason I can assume is the upper threading on the coil body is causing this problem. It's not a huge issue, really, but can be frustrating, I know. Think of it this way... now you have an opportunity to clean-out the base of any drips (using a q-tip or tissue) every time you fill-up I try to do that anyway, even if the coil remains in the base when I open the tank. Preventative maintenance to remove any drips from the base will save you from leakage which will damage your battery!! Or, just keep the juice off your hands/clothes/desk as it drips out of the air-holes (once enough accumulates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Mine is the Mini, so the pieces may not be an exact match, but I believe the top cap and chimney are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod351 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 looks the same. the atomizer being fastened to the bottom and the chimney are what hold it together but they should of realized that your rooling the dicee on which is going to unscrew when taking it apart.

hotrod351 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 well it still does it sometimes but use to it now. really like the tank, and it holds so much that its not a big deal to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
