atty leaking problem

[Terry Koontz]

I have 2 obs t-vct attys.
One works great.
The other one leaks liquid thru the bottom air flow slots.
Before I drain the juice and take it apart:
Does anyone have ideas on why it leaks ?
It’s brand new.

Might be a squished or torn o-ring.
Heat can also cause juice to thin out and leak.

I was wondering the same thing: maybe you have a missing O-ring somewhere. Were you using the same juice in both of them? It's possible that one of your juices is "thinner" or gets so when heated, and it's causing the leaking. Are you using the same coil in both of them? One is .5 the other is .25, I believe....

Good luck in figuring it out.

everything is the same !

I think I got it fixed !
First, changed the coil.
Second, RTFM !
From the manual
“first a few hits must be at 25W or below because the coil needs to suck the liquid in slowly and fully”
I was at 35 W
