Just got a K100 and bought (read overpaid) for a kanger mini aero. Loved it a first. Wanted a new flavor today so I took it apart and cleaned it. Leaks like a seeve. After going through about a half bottle of juice I think I got it. Looks like I was overtightening everything. Probably deforming the gaskets. It was floodng the tube like crazy! Glad I saw, and thanks to whomever it was that posted, the overtightening comment. Looks like you saved me some headache.

On a side note, I've got so much juice on my fingers I'm more jittery than an escaped con!!! Think I'll go build a boat from matchsticks... no wait a yacht.. no wait....

Odd, the only way I could get my Megas to somewhat behave and stay dry, was by tightening them to just below the breaking point of the glass :p
Oh well, as long as it works for us, that's what matters :)

Well I ruined one of my stock aero mini coils after taking it a part. So I put in what maybe be a 3rd party, pretty sure it's a dual, coil into my aero mini... And have filled the tank twice now without any problems, no leaks and no gargling. The coil is just as fat, higher ohms and the wick is protruding on the outside, thus explaining the 3rd party or different architecture to say the least.

Point is this odd coil is working out and that's where I've read a lot of the probs of the aero minis lie. :) happy vapor it's now
