Hi Leo fans.

Are any of you having wicking problems? I seem to be constantly doing the flick thing. Does any one know of Chinese suppliers that carry spare attys?

Thanks

If you vape the cartridge too dry the poly fill will begin to shrink. This causes a wicking problem. Simply pull the poly fill back to the top edge of the cartridge, refill and try again. I bet that solves your issue.

Thanks Jackal3, I'll give it bash.

I want to use leo atty for a bottom feed mod. I have read that the atty is sealed. If it was sealed how would juice get between atty and battery?

 

[Jackal3]

The Leo has 3 holes on the bottom, the center hole and 2 holes off to the side. The center hole is sealed. However the two holes off the side of the center hole are where juice drips out if the atomizer is over filled. The juice will then drip down into a special well blocked off by a high wall of sorts that surrounds the battery center hole... like a moat around a castle.

hey gang, we got us our own Leo sub forum now:

is the purpose of the dry burn just to evaporate all the water droplets? if it is, then i wouldn't want to risk it. i would think letting it sit for a day or two would dry the whole thing out. i've read that the dry burn can be tricky and it is easy to pop the atomizer if you are not careful. i'm clumsy as it is, lol.

I wrote this for some of my Leo users. Please take this with a grain of salt:

The atomizer of the Leo can also be cleaned. You may notice after several weeks that the taste isn't right with the atomizer or vapor production changes, or that the 'hit' becomes too hot. This is because layers of different flavored juice have wet, dried, wet again, dried again on the electronic atomizer components. With the heating/cooling action those juices may have caked on there pretty good. You may also notice the performance isn't the same. Cleaning is simple:

so i tried this and i still have very little vapor production, i followed your steps and i let it sit out drying for bout a day in a halfe with no luck when i try to dry burn i cant get it to glow at all, ive done the dry burn thing with other attys and get the glow but not this one....should i try to reclean it this way, should i try to boil it any ideas would be much appreciative, TIA for any info or suggestions!-)

Do you hear it sizzle at all? If you do I would assume it is not dead. Maybe it just isn't dry all the way inside. I know I had a hell of a time getting mine to light up attempting a dry burn. Had it sitting out for about a day. I ended up using a hair dryer and get rid of the remaining moisture.

yeah i can hear it sizzle and today i boiled it but maybe ill try the hair dryer her a lil later and report back tomarrow, i dont have a spare atty yet so i was hoping to get this one back in working order asap but looks like it will be a few more trials and errors lol, thanks for the idea

I've used an air compressor to blow out the water after cleaning. It works pretty well. No matter what you have to drip 1-2 drops of juice in there before dry burning (not quite dry then, i know). Still, you want the water out and the juice in. Some of my atomizers took 15 minutes or more use before coming back full strength.

yeah i droped a few drops onto the atty both times with no luck and aftethe first one i went through a full bat life with no luck in the am im gunna try the hair dryer thing and maybe you air compressor trick and see if one of those work out for me, hopefully they do thanks for your input!-)

I let them dry for a day on a central heating radiator. Then I drip four or five drops of eliquid in the atomizer and start vaping. It takes me something like half an hour to an hour to get it fully functional again.

yeah im used to it taking about an hour before its "new" again but 9 hours seems a lil over board. i check the resistance without load and i was read close to 4 ohms, does that seem really high to anyone else...cant figure out how to test it under load, off to the hair dryer...lol

 

[Jackal3]

4 Ohms does seem high. How did you clean it? Alcohol with hot water rinse, then dry time?

 

[Jackal3]

BTW: I use 91% Isopropyl Alcohol for the cleaning (when really hot tap water doesn't cut it).

i followed your guidlines for the first time i let it soak in 91% alcohol for 2hours then ran hot tap water for about 5 mins and let it dry for about a day in a half. no luck there, next i tried to boil it let it dry for a few hours with excessive blowing out.....no luck i tried the hair dryer thing....no luch and just got done with the air compressor...no luck, outta ideas yet lol? i dont mind getting a new one but would love to get this one working good again for the time being, thanks everyone for your input

I've heard of people sticking them in the oven. Sounds a little excessive, but sounds like you tried everything else, lol. I'd just let it go for a few days if you have a spare you can use.

I've given up on the Leo Atty... I've had a few of them apart and it's basically an 801 Atty in a proprietary shell... The wicking problems people are having is caused by a design flaw that cannot easilly be addressed.

I've been modding them, putting 510 connectors down inside the shell, then I screw a CE2 mega clearomizer into it, in the 2.4-2.6 ohm range... the Leo COMES TO LIFE with this combination! It's a really outstanding vape once I finally called it quits on trying to fix the issues with the stock atty. I've come to the conclusion that the ones that work well are the exception, not the rule. When I mod another one, I'll do a tutorial on the method. It's well worth doing.

EDIT: I just found out that Cisco has started making adapters that do the same thing as my mod, so I'm not going to post a tutorial, you can just buy one and have the same function without all the bother.
