totally, I keep getting juice in my usb port.

Sorry to hear @Aaron. I got them via Facebook - have you tried there yet? Seriously shits me when companies push stuff out without fully testing. These issues should have been picked up.

That's a good point... Rust. I actually have given up cleaning the inside, figuring it's pointless, but now I know with rust there's limited time left for this mod. Very disappointing, I expected more from Geekvape.

@@guvnafied Update: after the screw got worse, I put some vinegar on it (vinegar removes surface rust and corrosion). There's no real damage to the screws. There's some very very light surface pitting, but I think that is engineered. I believe the screws have a coating of some sort. By the color, I'm thinking, probably titanium dioxide.

The worst case scenario

Yep! Of course that's me... Worst case scenario 😂 I went ahead and flush the whole damn thing with 91% rubbing alcohol. Luckily for me I got it for $10. And my first and only other vape my smok V8 baby still going strong! Almost 2 years. Well a few quirks..

Any changes?

Know this is old but my Geek Vape would do this and the fix for it was to unscrew the tank all the way and put it back. Ill have the batteries fully charged but on the screen it'll show that one of the batteries was completely dead but after the method above I posted it fixed it. Still shouldn't have to go through the trouble with this vape smh.

The screen won't make a difference - when I removed the screen the original adhesive didnt stick back as strongly as before. I only really am after the adhesive tape cut to spec from Geekvape. I also am going to look O rings or other alternatives to seal the fire button. They are now not charging me for delivery to the UK, which is good.

I'd send a well-constructed email to Geekvape. That is just shit.

It appears so @Ohmboy.

There's one for the legend now.

I hate leaking tanks don't know what type of tank you prefer, but I now use the freemax pro tank and it has never leaked and the coils last ages;)

Im using aegis legend mod + zeus single rta tank and aegis mini + ammit mtl rta tank. No leaking because the top airflow.

It is. I now have a Dead Rabbit RTA that cannot leak. Its a pity, as its good, but not as good as the Griffin 25 plus, but no more leaking... but the fact remains - its a screw up in design. Water still enters it if you wash it.

I've been using a Uwell Nunchaku tank on mine. The .2Ω mesh coils are simply amazing. Outstanding flavor and longevity with these coils. I have two of these tanks and they've NEVER leaked. Not even a drop, it's so much better than the Cerberus or Aero tanks by Geekvape. You'd be wise to get a Nunchaku and a pack of the UN2 mesh coils .2Ω. They're rated "Best 50-60W", but I use them at 48W. Did I mention the fantastic flavor? Yeah, the flavor is really good..

Not completely - although the batteries seemed dry enough. I binned mine, I'd suggest doing the same. There are better options.

Stick something thin like a fork prong in the airflow hole. Use the fork as a lever and torque it off. A mini screwdriver might work as well. I just grab a fork because they're readily available and work.

Hi Andy - they ended up sending me a new screen free of charge, but the problem happened again (this time from water). It's still waterproof on the inside, but a few others on the comments section here and I think that there is a fair chance this will rust out the device's screws/metal parts. Its pretty lame - I had a Wismec 2/3 before, which is nothing-proof, and there were zero issues with water under the LCD screen.

And also if u use an rta learn how to wick it right. The leaking is due to the fact that you don't know how to build an rta. Ive never built one but that's why I stick to subohm tanks, rda's, and rdta's

Contests VU the one with the mini window is the updated version.

Hi @Dale - The shouldn't leak. I persisted with a leaky tank far longer than I should've. Most of the time with leaking tanks it's that it's not wicked properly (you've covered off the o-ring issue already). If you are sure your tank is properly wicked and it still leaks, get another tank. Hope that helps!

I understand that, it’s less than a month new. Calling the retailer today.

@@GuvnaOnSpotify New tank/cartridge is not a solution. I have 4 cartridges, all of them leaks :( I glued them with silicon and other stickers but no solution. Ufff I'm bored of it

No, tanks shouldn't be leaking in this day and age. I haven't had a leaky tank in years and I've been buying a lot of them. The actual coil head has orings on it as well. Try securing the coil head to the chimney first. Then put on the glass section. Lastly, attach the bottom of the tank making it fully assembled. A lot of the time, the coil head isn't making a proper seal to the chimney. This will cause the liquid to leak out. There's other fixes as well, you just have to pay attention to what's going on and problem solve.

good job! What did you use to stick it back on? Or did you just use the remaining adhesive?

guvna0 just the same adhesive try not to dirty it and it stuck back on real good.

Chernobyl Reactor 4 I wonder where it gets in I was thinking it's the usb port.

A guy down below said its through the fire button (I originally thought the 510 but that is incorrect) - and that seems to be right as I was able to squeeze some out of the FB while holding it upside down. Geekvape told me it was a "design fault".

I'm getting some RADBAR DOUBLE-SIDED MEMBRANE TAPE 4000GA 50 X 10M from the shops tonight, as when I did it (carefully) the tape didnt stick back as I'd like. I'll cut the exact proportion out and replace.

Thanks mate, will do that now.

but... its an extremely poor design fail, they should have tested this and resolved it before it ever came to market, and offer replacements. NOT a replacement screen that will not address the issue.

you can turn to the customer service for help, I have buy two pcs screen from them just in case. you are welcome, bro

How did you get it open?

Hi @FASHDADDY1991 Thanks for your comment. On the last part - I've already done that (I actually had to replace the screen as the adhesive would not work when I attempted to replace the original screen, and as such know that the interior is waterproof. However, this really isn't the issue. What they should do, (or should have done) is make that clear on the packaging & advertising. People's tanks leak sometimes. It happens. If you use it in the rain, I assume this could happen also. You could unwittingly press the fire button when its submerged. The reality is that if someone has a leaky tank but loves the tank nevertheless, they would be the sort of person who would buy a waterproof mod in the first place. I've since changed tanks to one that is a top airflow so won't leak personally. What hasn't changed is my point that this IS a design fault. It would not be an engineering impossibility to stop this from happening in the first place. It's like saying 'If you drive your car in the rain, yes water will get into the door interior and inside panels, but you won't get wet, you will be cozy and dry inside" (until the panel and joining screws etc rust away, just like the Legend most likely would). That is just an excuse for missing an important design error. And I hate excuses.

I don't think that is the issue if I'm honest, mine has the same problem, brand new, happened on the first day. There was no fluid on the front screen to be let in through the fire button. I think the leak is elsewhere, seeping in from the top or corners of the screen cover maybe.

He also stated that his USB connector will no longer work and he cannot do updates. That is a more permanent issue. I can speak from experience, and say you may be correct in your theory on using the fire button while juice/moisture is present. However, I have never ever used my mod when a leak has occured ( I know this because if I pick my mod up and feel sticky...I clean it immediately. I refuse to do anything else until it's clean) and I recently noticed a small dab of moisture behind my screen towards the top. Very small compared to this guy's puddle at the bottom of his screen! Mine hasn't moved, hasn't dried up,. nothing. It has been there About a month. Anyhow..I've had TWO leaky situations, that's it. I was surprised to see the moisture collecting. I may write Geekvape just so there is a more realistic accounting of customers issues. I also wonder if it can seep through the USB plug. Anyhow, all in all a great mod, and I can easily understand the odd product that may not be perfect. I assume it will be another few years until these products are perfected , where manufacturers aren't rushing around to get new models out just to make a buck while the hype is still there. It will find stability, and only quality companies will remain. Untill then, we the consumer will continue to be the tester, guineas pig etc...and paying good money for this role we never signed up for. Just like every other piece of tech that arrives! Sigh.

Hi! Its really easy to remove. I'd suggest using a hair dryer to make it easier, but my advice is to not worry about it. As long as you don't get any more liquid on it, it will dry up by itself. It doesn't affect the use much.

FWIW it's a good mod - it's still waterproof - it's just that water/juice can get under the plastic screen. If you are not OCD like me with this stuff and can put up with it, its still 100% waterproof, and a good mod. It's definitely tough. But I just couldn't stand looking at the liquid. They should have found this before release. It's almost like they tested the waterproof part (core) then that was it for the testing. They are aware of the issue, I told them. Perhaps they'll release a v2 - and that would be worth buying.

I think if you take a very thin sheet of rubber and drill a hole through it just enough for 510 to go through it would solve the problem ....as far as the mod there is a lot more problems with it than juice getting in it.

I'm waiting for the screen now, and I expect detailed instructions. Once I get it I'll post a video on it to help you and others (hopefully)

guvna0 ok thanks man.

Just found this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipN7mryTstrDkps.html where he did an disassembly... I wont be doing it. There is a comment up top you should check - hold upside down and let it drain from the fire button - apparently that's where it gets in.. pressing the fire button will allow the liquid to drain. Testing this today. @corry greig

guvna0 yeah but on that video it didn't show how to take screen off.

Why would you vape in the shower? Your mods waterproof not your damn tank you're asking for trouble jeez

haha brilliant!

Buy a tank that doesn't leak I use a freemax pro it has never leaked. I use this mod every day have dropped it more times than I can count also have left it in the rain and it still works perfectly

it happen to me too...now my mod don't work at all...once i put new batt and it will make one of the batt superhot..and yeah the screen is blank black

Guess you didnt read the notes of the video :-)

Nope, listened painfully. Got my replacement and did it easily.

You've got the patience of a saint. Good job fella!

You obviously haven't put it anywhere near water then ;-) Correct on the tank.

Naw mate it happened to me own screen as well.

Anthony Parker the tank must have leaked. This video is completely ridiculous the guys tank is overflowing with liquid and he blames the mod 100% user error

So due to that fact this is partially your fault. On the other hand the mod is supposed to be waterproof. My guess is that due to mass production they probably did not get enough of the sealing adhesive to protect the screen. Goes to show if you want something fault proof never go through the Chinese. On the other hand I've had my aegis for 3 months and still don't have any issues (knock on wood)

Hi John - yes I noticed the leak (of course!) - I clean it regularly but that tank just leaked - another Geekvape screwup. The thing is the mod slopes toward the fire button, so any liquid moves down the mod straight to the fire button. You don't need a lot of liquid for it to be visible on the screen, as the space inside the screen is extremely small.

I agree with you I wouldn't use a tank that leaks maybe he should make a video complaining about his tank not the mod lol
