Do some KangerTech atomizers just leak?

[TreVader]

I'm at a loss for any other explanation. My pro tank II is about 10 days old and out of the 4 atomizers i bought, two leaked for absolutely no good reason. From what i can tell it's most likely the rubber/latex ring that seals of the the e-liquid from the tube to the mouthpiece, but it could possibly be the seal. The thing i can't explain is how i could possibly get 2 brand new atomizers that leaked. i tried rebuilding the setup, checking the seals, different combinations... the ONLY thing that fixed it was switching to another, brand new atomizer. Anybody else have such a problem? The tank itself works fine, some of the atomizers that came with it are garbage though (about 30%, maybe i got a bad batch though).

Same thing here out of a 5 pack 3 were missing flavor wicks and flooded like crazy . Kanger quality control slips sometimes you have to check each coil before use.

wow, I was told this was one of the better clearomizers you could buy. I'm a bit disconcerted.

Me too. I've got about a dozen new ones that I'm not even going to bother with. Just gonna take them apart and rebuild with cotton.

The tank is great! The coils............. eeah.

like stated above ensure they are put together properly out the box. some may be missing flavor wicks and seals. If thats all checking out then that sucks....havent had any leakers yet but ive only used 5 of them. I rebuild so im my own quality control.....LOL

Remove Coil head from packaging.
Looking from sides of head confirm there are no open Gaps around the wick at the tube.
Any Gap is a guarantied leak in the making.
a)fluff wick at openings
b) remove top pipe and inspect for (2) flavor wicks. - Some seem to be missing these. Some even have a 3rd Flavor wick(Bad)

There is not reason to Toss a New wick for leaking when it only takes a minute or so to correct.
All BCC tanks have had these type of complaints. So learning what to do is a good Idea if you want the consistency a BCC can provide.

Its called "Made in China"

The kanger Tech are usually pretty good though. The clones from FT are not so good.

Crxess is on the money.....Good post.

No leaks, but as someone else posted "made in china". I have had a few with short lives though maybe a few days as opposed to a week or two, speaking of which another one just bit the dust
