When I got my Drone DNA 250C, it wouldn't squonk at all. I contacted Lost Vape and they replaced it. I've had it for a while now and no leaks.
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.

It didn't go well, two squeezes on the bottle and it's already seeping juice through the 510 assembly.
Oh dear, have you been able to fix it?

At the moment I'm trying out tightening up the square nut on the underside of the 510. It doesn't seem like it will tighten up but using a 510 tightening tool and a 12mm spanner you can get an extra half turn. With some success.
The whole 510 is completely reliant on one rubber washer to seal. If the nut is tight and the 510 pin which has the potential for lateral movement moves straight up and down there "should" be no leaks.
It's really frustrating
Good luck - let us know how you get on. It is fixable, but annoying nonetheless!

Where are you putting the 1mm CS 2mm ID oring? Just over the centre pin from the outside?
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.

Sad
. Mine is now an official leaker
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!

Wow! I haven't started squonking yet. My 'Information' shows this, but no clue what batch it would be.
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.

your drone looks different to mine its not as see through as yours at the top did you buy it new ? mine is relatively see through but has a plate underneath this bit you show
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.

@etab75 LV has a repair centre right there in the UK if you don't wanna take it apart yourself.
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.

My drone is less than 2 days old and I'm still setting it up. I haven't actually squonked on it yet, but I know what I might find.
I'll let you know if I got a leaker
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.
-
Cheers Wayneo, just never had it before, no doubt some testing... Lost Vape probably should start doing a leak test as well lol

Got a Drone the other day, probably should have googled "drone issues" prior to purchase, but I've had squonkers before and they all leak to some extent.
Oh boy, this thing takes leaking to a whole new level. Briefly tested, barely a bottle (7ml) before the leaking became apparent. See pics. There is literally liquid coming through from underneath the 510 angle connector and dripping into the positive terminals straight into 2 brand new Sony batteries (now full of liquid) and bubbles of liquid through the centre of the mod and coming out of the bottom lol The tubes are secure its the 510 when an atty is screwed on.
One door magnet fell of on day one and the overall feel is flimsy.
The DNA250C chip is fantastic, big thumbs up there, but unfortunately this mod cannot be used, its not safe in my opinion.
One more interesting thing was when hooked up to escribe, it said the stats had been reset once (?). I've never had a "new" DNA mod that the statistics had been reset before, always says "0". Not saying its used, looked mint, shrunk wrapped, the mod in selothane, no juice residue anywhere, just struck me as odd. I never reset my mods.
Pretty gutted about this experience, love DNA chips but there are so many poorly made devices out there.

Thanks dwcraig1, well, my Drone turned up today and its like yours and my SD75C! I can only assume nothing has changed or luck of the draw either way ,no big issue, just interesting to see what other users had, cheers for the replies.
-
Thanks for the reply. That is very interesting, I probably should ask the supplier to see what they say. I've got a Drone enroute so it'll be interesting to see if a current mod has the same or better screen. Maybe its just pure luck lol

Hello everyone, long time no see!
Last week my Therion screen developed a black oval spot, so I ordered a new one from modmaker.co.uk Fitted with no problem, but what was interesting was the new screen has much better contrast especially when viewed from odd angles. My SD75C and the previous screens pretty much whited out when viewed from anything other than straight on.
Just wondering have the screens been upgraded, ie better quality? Not been active on here for a while so may have missed something.
See pic, same brightness and theme (one of my own), the Therion screen looks so much better, blacker blacks etc.

I encountered an error I woke up and went to vape (finder dna250c) and when I clicked fire it said error then a number (sorry I don't remember and I didn't take a picture) after clicking again the message disappeared, it has yet to show up again so I can take a picture, I don't know what triggered it or what it was. sp17. sorry I can't be of more help, but I did catch that white sceen with error, that had not showed up prior to the sp17. also I had to delete two screens from my themes to CHANGE a wire slot, I don't know how that happened.
Sounds like a theme issue, upload the stock theme and see if it happens again.

Yes, I was talking about DNA75, not 75C.
Boost was added to that "old" generation on other, less widely used, chips and DNA75 was meant to get it.
Then everything fell quiet.
Yes I agree sir, in addition I'd still like to see a Celsius option for board/room temps when charging on the DNA75 (not C lol).

I believe he means the DNA75 not the "C" version.

Hello new and trying to make my own theme for this I have made themes for the iPhone in the past and this looked like fun. But my frustration is getting me. When I try to upload the theme I get an error
main screen (battery > charging) : all conditions must be the same size.
Can someone help or explain this? I have messed with the conditions but don’t wanna go screwing with stuff I don’t know about.
Many help would be great thank.
I am on Mac escribe v2.0

Lost Vape Drone 250C issues.

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
