Hey gang,
I'd been having some problems with my Kayfun v4 clones leaking through the air holes and a few other spots. I attributed it to poor quality o-rings and purchased a bunch of quality ones in the correct sizes (which I will be putting together kits and selling them for $5 if anyone's interested, check for my post in the trading section) and replaced them all in my tanks. The leaks drastically reduced, but occasionally I'd still get some coming out the air holes after I replaced the o-rings.
I discovered that when I would open the juice flow after filling, it would not be completely lowered flush against the base; there was a maybe 0.5 mm gap between the base and the deck, just enough to cause some very slow seeping, apparently even in spite of the better o-ring. Even stranger, I couldn't turn the juice flow any more to sit the deck completely flush against the base. The cause? When I was closing and opening the juice flow while the tank was on my mod, the 510 screw must have been turning a little bit also, going further into the base and touching the airflow base at a height that would prevent the build deck from sitting completely flush against the base. I backed the 510 screw out some, and was able to turn the juice flow more and open it completely flush against the base. Since then, I take the tank off my mod when filling, and I back the screw out maybe a half turn or so before re-opening so the build deck can sit flush. Open juice flow completely, then tighten the 510 screw. Zero leaks.
Hopefully this info will help anyone that's had similar issues!
