Boxer squonk clone help

[JenDvapeMomster]

i just got my boxer squonk clone in and the bottle/cap is leaking when it will squonk. I have to push the bottle all the way in to get my juice to come out and it leaks. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. Has anyone else had this problem? No problem with the other squonk mech I bought.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome and glad you joined.
I have not had this type of leaking problem, although my rda's can leak if you lay them down on their side. I would be surprised if your squonker is not similar.
You may want to go to your local hardware store and obtain a roll of teflon plumbers tape.
Wrap bottle threads and see if problem is solved. The long term solution would be to purchase a replacement bottle and cap assembly and interchange new bottle/cap with existing, to find the cause of the leak.

If you're saying the bottle is leaking at the cap, try boiling the bottle in water then screwing the cap on real tight while it's still hot. That works sometimes....plus, it's never a bad idea to boil the beejesus out of those cheap Chinese bottles.

Where is it leaking? If it is just junk get one of these. They are well done.

I ordered a replacement bottle, different brand, and problem solved!
Thanks!

I got the $15 clone from 3fvape and there was so much air leaking between the plastic threads on the bottle and the metal cap that I couldn't even get any ejuice into the RDA. I fixed that by wrapping those threads with teflon pipe tape.

I ended up buying a better quality bottle and it's working now.

Nice. Along with teflon, well placed o rings helps also for a airy bottle.

Easy fix on the cheap bottles, take a lighter and carefully burn the metal cap, it will in turn heat up and mold the plastic bottle threads.
