Ego C Twist starter set leaks like mad. Suggestions?

[MaraF]

Hi folks!
My fella and I just bought a Ego C twist starter set last minute before a trip. The battery was highly recommended to me and I needed a complete set ASAP before being around my smoke-free family for 5 days. The kit arrived a couple days before the trip and we were quite happy with the performance at first. After just sitting in a plastic bag on the way to the airport, both of our tanks were leaking. 2 days into the trip one tank stopped working completely (the battery is fine) and both were leaking into the tip and down to the battery any time they weren't vertical.

I had always planned on upgrading tanks anyway (Kanger Protank was suggested) but now I REALLY want to find something that won't have leakage issues. As a girl I'm probably going to have this thing rolling around in my bag, not upright in a shirt pocket. I don't want to have to clean the tip every time I vape! My only other requirement is having something that isn't super bulky on an ego twist battery. I've been mostly looking at mini tanks.

SO, any suggestions for a slim, leakprof tank to go with my ego twist?

Aspire might work....but I am bumping this for more answers for you.

Welcome to the forum!!

if you get a nautilus mini. you won't have a problem with leaks. As long as you are carefull with the pyrex tank.

Nautilus mini doesn't leak. Also the full size Nautilus is amazing too.

Keep the batteries and toss the eGo atomizers. There are a bazillion better choices than eGo T or C atomizers.

First what tank are you using? Some tanks can be cleared by blowing through the drip tip in t o a paper towel, expelling the extra liquid. When filling be very careful not to get juice into the air valve area. After filling blow through the drip tip into towel to rid any extra juice. This should help with leaking. Best wishes

Mini Protank 2 or 3, Mini Aerotank, or an Aspire ETS preferably in Pyrex. These are the things you're looking for.

Realsis- Thanks for the tip! It's definitely making the wait for payday a little less awful. Still, not particularly fond of the idea of having to carry paper towel wads around with me all day, so improvement-day is definitely coming. The set I bought was the "eGo C Twist (2pc) 1100mAh Vaporizer Variable Voltage Starter Kit"..I didn't see a particular model name for the atomizer (or clearomizer?).

Thanks to everyone else for the suggestions. Deciding between the Mini Protank 3 and the Nautilus...any additional pros & cons for either would be appreciated!

Can you post a link to what you have?

Keep in mind that none of the little pieces of mass-produced plastic/glass/metal/whatever has much quality control, so it can be helpful to lower one's expectations of their performance.

I have used an ego c-twist battery with vision vivi mini tanks for a couple years with virtually no leaks....good luck

Just got the Protank 2 mini. Was hoping to find the 3 mini, but no one had it locally, so we'll have to order one for our second set up. So far very pleased! Was very close to buying the Nautilus Mini but it just looked too chunky on my ego twist. I know, I know...stupid reasoning but I really like the streamline look of the Protank.

I think you're better off with the Protank 2 mini than the 3 mini. The Protank 2 mini is single coil, the 3 mini is dual coil and would likely drain your battery faster.

I have both and never have any leaking. Maybe I've just been lucky.

This! The cheap inexpensive clearomizers are just that --> cheap. They are designed with fragile plastic parts which break easily. They are designed to be easily filled by beginners. They are designed to be able to replace the coils easily by beginners. However that simple design has the caveat that they don't perform very well and can be very inconsistant. Gurgling, dry hits, juice in the mouth, juice on the battery.

There are better products on the market, but they will be more expensive and require more time/effort to maintain. Are you willing to make the sacrifices?

The aforementioned Aspire Mini Nova has a revolutionary new coil and wick that the other clearomizer tanks don't have yet. Better flavor & vapor production, little or no leaking. Retail price will set you back about $25.
