    The flasks are not flat on the bottom sometimes they warp from the
    heat and they will not seal I have a large disc sander and i
    regularly gind the bottom of the flasks to make sure they are flat
    you can use a file as well also make sure that the investment isnt
    all the way to the top of the flask I know you have probably checked
    that but  I figured I would just say it in case, leave about a 1/4
    inch from the top and make sure that the rim is clean if that doesnt
    work get new flasks.
