    Just received a Vapalux M320 Mod that you could tell wasn't used but once. I found out why after doing a dunk test, it was leaking around the filler cap which had a new factory gasket. Green paint was on the threads of both the cap and the filler hole so I removed the paint and tightened it again by hand but it still leaked. The only way I could stop it from leaking poressure was to use a wrench on the cap to tighten it down. Anyone else have this problem?
