Brand new OBS T-VCT already leaking from air vents

[lkilbride2]

I just received my brand new hardware in the mail. I ordered a new one because the last one I had I bought from my friend and was doing the same thing. Although it does seem to be leaking less then the old one, it is still quite frustrating. I always hear a gurgling and then the liquid makes its way to air holes if I slightly tip the tank. Seems like this happens every time If I draw within 30 seconds of a previous one. Anyone have any ideas? Is a high PG/VG ratio the problem maybe?

im not familiar with the tank but have run into similar things before on more than one tank. pulling too hard can draw too much liquid into the coil and excess will leak out. if your liquid is very thin (high PG) or it is very warm, it may leak too.

i've had a T-VCT for about three months and its never leaked or gurgled at me other than whn i fill it, and thats only if i have the RBA in it, im using the .25 ohm stock coil most of the time. i've never used the .5 ohm

I think it was that stupid .5 ohm coil that came with it. I've been puffing, (cautiously,) with a .25 in it and so far no problem. I am gonna get some heavy VG to thicken things up next time I'm at store.

Got the heavy Vg. Seems to be helping a lot with the gurgling, but only a little with leaking. It's not even the mess that pisses me off its losing the juice. Saw so many good reviews on this tank and countless people swearing it never leaks

I have had SO many tanks, and nearly ALL of them leak out of the air control at some time or other. It is very annoying, because the tank (several of them) will work great for a day, two days, then when I'm out of the house, without paper towels, it suddenly leaks juice from the bottom, and gets all over my shirt, my pants, whatever!

Recently purchased the Crown Uwell, and after three weeks, I haven't had it leak a drop! Easy top fill, no need to remember to close the air control (that was my issue often with my Silo Beast Tank), just works, and works great!

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but if you get frustrated enough, you may want to check out the Crown tank.

Thank you! do you have a vendor you would reccomend that is guaranteed authentic but also reasonably priced? Also, I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to use the .25 coils already have? And it will work on my sigeli box mod, correct? Is it dual coil or just one?

 

[lkilbride2]

Do you have any suggestions/tips/intuition that may help me? I am now trying closing the coil vents inside the tank after they have soaked up juice. Also closing the air vents to keep very little air from going in/out

5pcs T-VCT coil for OBS Sub Ohm Tank - $10.48

^Those are the coils I'm using. Think I'd have better luck with different ones?
