Condensation in EC25, ideas? Disassembly instructions?

Phantom309 · Nov 5, 2013

I bought a used EC25 that has a fair amount condensation inside the lens. I have tried leaving it in dry rice, heating, and using my food saver to draw a vacuum on a jar with it inside. Nothing seems to have any effect. I am down to trying to disassemble the head, or drill a small hole in it. Anyone else have any ideas? :duh2:

Looks like I'm on my own. I'm going to try to take the head apart at what may be a threaded seam. If that fails, I'm drilling a hole in it.

Looks like you're in uncharted territory, let us know how it goes!

If you're still looking for solutions- small packets of silica gel in the battery tube seemed to help people who had condensation problems with the Fenix TK75. From what I understand, it draws water better than rice.

Good luck!

The head comes apart at a seam about an inch behind the bezel. The reflector is threaded into the bezel end. Nothing holds in the lens after you take out the reflector. That's how I dropped it on the concrete floor, and shattered it into 50 pieces. Now I'm off to find a new lens......
