haha silver lining that - those bottle are not readily available, which is odd, you'd think Lost Vape would get some out there and make some $$$! Yes, barring the initial "teething" issues, its my daily driver, now zero issues. At least with the Triade you shouldn't have leaking issues - the vape mail waiting game is the worst part lol

One of my bottles didn't squonk well, all it was, was the tube was cut too long and the slant end was bottoming out.

Oh dear, have you been able to fix it?

Does lightning strike twice? lol Good luck my man 👍

Good luck - let us know how you get on. It is fixable, but annoying nonetheless!

Yes, unscrew atty, dry out 510 and slip over centre pin, can be a bit tricky I found 2 toothpicks helped with that.

No, there is no display time option so its impossible to manipulate any of the toggles to do such wizardry. Shame, because I can see that being quite a useful option in theme design.

My condolences Wayneo, really disappointing to here this. Firstly I'd try the o-ring (1mm cross section 2mm inner diameter) that is the easiest way, same with Hyperar message above. Try that first. Good luck its bloody annoying!!! BTW Rob at Stealthvape said the majority of leaks come from a under tightened negative nut or tube. Not in my case it came from the centre post when an atty was screwed on, it just oozed out around the bottom, not much but over a period it builds up.

Hopefully this will be my final update! Contacted Rob at Stealthvape (Evolv/Lost Vape servicing here in the UK) and he has supplied me with a brand new leak free 510, so everything is good 👍 Rejoice leak free drone!

Mine was programmed 21 December 2018, and configured in Shenzhen, 23 January 2019. Weren't the first models out in October '18? Suppose these could be early ones, but funny how the ones we are getting here in the UK date back to January. When the DNA75C came out I got one in June and the configured date was May, much closer. On a side note, mine is still working fine, no leaks at all.

Yep, bought new, I had to remove a triangle I suppose you could say "drone" shape piece of tape to access the screws and dry the contacts out. It left a sticky residue and as I need to access that area (to make sure its dry etc) I left it off so its now totally clear rather than opaque. Its cool as you can see the liquid going up the tube now.

... forgot to say, also used a small o-ring from the Avocado RTA, the tiny one that is fitted to the ceramic block. Fitted over the centre pin, sealing off any excess, now the 510 well is dry. Think that is probably the easiest method if your Drone leaks. Squonking fine now 👍

UPDATE I have taken the mod apart and dried out the internals. Removed the tape which was under the plastic plate and covering the screws now you can see inside the 510 area - quite handy to see if anything is going wrong. The leaking stems from the seal around the centre pin when an atty is screwed on. I saw a video where this area had a drop of sealant placed upon it thus stopping the leaking. Not a perfect solution but it will suffice - its back in use and no problems so far. See video here for reference, similar disassembly though different model: Cheers for the replies.

Yep Stealthvape do that now don't they? Something to consider, been looking at DIY enclosures and what not this morning, maybe thats the way forward.

I've only put 130 puffs through it and spent most of my time researching a fix. Unless the vendor is willing to do a deal its no good to me barring a transplant to a DIY project - had to many Chinese lemons that turn into paperweights. Hope you are lucky and its leak free! Shame I do like the mod barring the obvious.
