Crazy Frustrated - EVOD

[brianhubb10]

So I am new to vaping. (10 days in.) I got two Kanger EVOD tanks from a local B&M. They worked great. Went to a different B&M and bought 3 more. They have been awful. Pretty sure that they are knock offs. Bought heads as well. Now 2 of the 3 are leaking. How does everyone here ensure they are not getting knock off equipment?




Thanks,

I don't know about in store buying, here in memphis there's only one place i know of and they only sell ego and certain things. I've been using rbas for a while now, but when im at work and cant have all that vapor everywhere, i use the evod bcc. I get them at Search Results : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more
i have only had one that didn't work, and when i contacted them, they took care of it. I would think if it was a knockoff it wouldn't have evod bcc written across the bottom of the tank.

I just buy from stores that I know are either too big to sell knock off's, or stores that are owned by ethically sound individuals, what is b&m?

Brick and mortar, actual store not mail order.

B&M = brick & mortar store, regular store you can walk into vs an online retailer.

Probably a dumb question but... Did you take them apart after they started leaking to make sure the atomizer head was screwed in tight? I noticed that they sometimes come loose after being attached and removed from the battery a few times. I actually had one get loose enough to drain the entire tank onto my battery. After that the evod became an "at home only" tank.

I have an an EVOD as well. For me the atomizer floods on me every time I put the device down. What I end up doing is listen for potential flooding. It'll sound like a faint sizzle when you press the button. To fix it I hold the ecig upside down and flick hard so the extra liquid comes out. Holding a napkin maybe necessary to catch all liquid. Once that's done, you should have a healthy sizzle from the atomizer that'll last you for a session or two.

I'm not sure what causes this but it's work for me. I currently still use my EVOD as a daily vaporizer.

It actually takes longer for juice to fully saturate the wicks in EVODs and KPTs than folks realize. I "think" this where alot of the leaking and gurgling start. I've had mine for a couple months now and they do NOT leak at all, but they did when they were new.

I would agree with that. I had some leaking issues when mine were new also but have no real problems now besides an occasional slight flooding where a lil juice will come through the mouthpiece. I have 4 evods and I guess 3 of them are knockoffs( or don't have the evod bcc on the tank) but I actually have less issues with the knockoffs than I do with the real one. I hated my evod at first bc off the leaking but it is now one of my favorites. Don't give up on them bc they really are good tanks. At least that's my opinion. Just make sure the coil is screwed in tight and don't over tighten the tank on your battery. Those were some of my issues at first. Good luck to you and don't get too frustrated.
