Vapor coming out the bottom? Is it normal?

I have same problem. What can we do to solve it, I tried to find the manual with no success.

Yes this is normal. It will be hot to the touch but I don't think it will cause blistering. When you install it the pump to the filter, make sure you breathing room at the bottom vent.

No, not normal. If the water level is where it should be, another thing you may need to look at is whether the water intake vents in the bottom of the pump are clean and free of the slimy "gunk" that can build up. I recommend using an old toothbrush to get into those holes.

You did it correctly. Make sure the top button is all the way forward, pressed against the front of the indentation, at which point you will hear gas coming out. Sometimes I have to fiddle with mine a bit, but I've always gotten it to light.

Generally, air comes in from the front-bottom, and exits the back-top. The side should bring air in as well.If you pull air out of the case halfway along the airflow path, you kind of mess up the intended flow design for most cases.

Slight airflow is normal. The unit is not a fan, but it must circulate the air a little in order to clean it.

The vapor pads sits right down through the top of base, sits over the two little white plastic posts the sit right on the base, then put the plastic part were you put your mouth. It just sits there. I hope this helps, keep me informed if it doesn't help you.

I didn't have this problem but have read in a few places that it may cause a vapor lock of some sort preventing it from filling properly.

Not at all. The vapor/mist is not hot. There are no adjustments that I am aware of.

On the bottom is small raised dots. Not sure how much air flow you would get.

There is plenty of airflow coming up from the bottom. This is not an issue.

No! That is absolutely NOT normal. It must have leaked (this happened to me once). Contact the company through amazon and they will send you a refund. They need to figure out a better way to ship these bottles to prevent leakage!!

Sounds like a defect. I have never had that problem. The bottom element always turns on and heats up for me.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I have to disagree with the other posters here. Maybe my Airscape is defective, but there is not a perfect seal even when you push the handle down ('closing' the air valve). Because of this, any extra pressure that builds up due to outgassing will bleed off to the same pressure as the surrounding air.
