Kanger T2 leaky

[b00stzx3]

So I've been using this Kanger T2 Clearomizer for about 3 weeks now. LOVE IT. But now i've noticed leaking happening. It's coming out of vent holes at the bottom and oddly at the point where the mouthpiece screws in. Finally found something awesome and now it's leaking.

I read the air hole leak problem had to do with liquid getting in the center piece when replacing the heads. I haven't gotten any in there I've been very careful.

Are these leaks common? Is there something I can do? I'll grab a Vivi tank if it means not leaking, even though I've really liked the Kanger T2 so far.

I've been using the T2s for about 6-7 weeks now...no leaks so far, even after changing heads. Could it be you're overfilling or the mouthpiece isn't seating correctly?

Should I just be pushing it in? I only fill halfway up till where the head screws in...

part of the problem I found today is that the metal wing in the mouthpiece detached from it and is screwed into it itself. Leaking bad up top now.

I don't think I've been overly rough, haven't dropped it at all. Maybe I got a fluke? Maybe I should invest in a Vivi?

How does the post in the clearo look? Is it straight or off center?

Center post is relativley straight.

Well the metal base of the moutpiece became seperated from the plastic. Leaking like a SOB when I tip the unit back to soak the wick. Guess I expected too much out of something that cost 6 bucks!

Yep, that top cap separation thing is kind of common with the T2. You will either need to buy a new one, or you can try to affix the plastic part back to the base with some glue. Be sure to cover the whole circumference so no gaps. The cap will not have a positive seal on the atty head top boot seal if at all loose. Also, be sure to check the atty head for tightness. When you unscrew the mouthpiece it is possible to loosen the head each time unless it is screwed on tight. I think repairing the top cap mouthpiece will solve your issues. Make sure that you wash it really good before the repair, wipe away all excess glue, and let dry overnight.

The newer ones were supposed to resolve that issue and many vendors are selling new (and improved?) mouthpieces.

I ordered them a few weeks ago from Vapor Alley. I'll try again.

Rick from VaporAlley recommends the Vivi Vision tanks. I guess for the $$ they're probably built better than the Kanger t2s. I want something that will last and all I have to buy is replacement heads. Sucks I already spent $$ on t2 replacement heads.

I am on my 3rd T2 in 2 weeks. These things leak after a few days heavy vaping. What a PITA. I have tried almost every tank/clearomizer/Mod-fiddled around for hours with all this looking for something better. I thought there would have been an improvement in the tank/clearomizer dept. by now. But No dice!
Back to my old echo.

Have you tried to Vision Nova? I wish the technology was there for flawless tanks!!

So you guys definitely have the T2 with the heavy metal ends and good tank right? If yes, I found a place that offers a metal top mouthpiece and some pretty reasonable atty head replacements. I have been using this combo for a couple of weeks now, and haven't had any issues with the T2s I have. Of course I would rather have the Vivi 3.5 but it doesn't look as nice as the T2 on an eGo, especially with the metal mouthpiece. Working great here.

Crap, just noticed the metal mouthpieces are out of stock now. It would be worth it to see if this is temporary. These caps seal on the atty head perfectly. I think those plastic ones are still garbage.

Yeah mine is the same, it leaks in the center pole now- My first one is ok- but this second one has been a nightmare. I can say my old Stardusts are still around- and never leaked;- I am thinking maybe trying the replaceable head version on Stars......

 

[Matthew1980]

And when I look at the new Stardusts- they have gasket on the head that fits into the post- The Kangers do not.- I am wondering is this is the issue.- I think its the seal at the top; but I have mine tip on tight- Its either or- I think.....
