Rebirth of a Steamcrave Squonker

So the epoxy seems to be the winning fix.
Lets see how it goes a few weeks from now.

A big thank you to @Genosmate for finding a spare v4 for me.
Take 2!
Standard bottle is a perfect fit but once that juice is done and if there are no leaks I will be using an italian squonk bottle.

P.s I forgot to mention the epoxy on the V5 was still strong but there was a leak on day 2.
I suspect it was from the centre pin ( around the spring loaded centre pin)

I've had a rough week.
I think I'm shit out of luck.

It looks like the atty 510 doesn't depress the spring loaded positive down enough to seal with the oring. Looks like all my attys have this characteristic.
Will scour the garage for tiny oring to put in there and see if that helps.

Couldn't find a suitable oring so I made one from an unused reo tube.
Lets see how this pans out.

Seems to have solved the main problem that was a deal breaker!
The night is still young though.
Now another problem has arisen that is not a dealbreaker.
The tubing is not flexible as I crammed it in there and the atty doesn't sit entirely flush.
Honestly, I'll be ok with this unless I dedicate an atty and trim the tubing for a specific atty.

Perhaps cut a thin rubber washer to act at a "shim"??
I'm don't have any patience left today.
Perhaps in a few days when it starts bothering me.
Been using it all day. Dry indeed.
Its so dry I've even had a record of 3 dry hits in one day.
Was sqounking and driving and the Italian bottle needs getting used to because the bottle cavity in the mod is quite large.
Even found a dedicated atty that sits flush. Nuppin v2.
Been using this mod for just under 2 weeks and no leaks.
I want to thank @Genosmate for his insight and spare 510 that he managed to dig up for me.
I see steam crave are releasing v2 soon with 316L temp control as the v1 just works with NI 200 and is not updateable.
Only thing that bothers me is temp control is in degree F and not degrees C.
