Welcome to the forum!
Have you tried screwing coil head a little tighter? My friend had this tank and didn't have any leakage problems. Also how much it leaks? Maybe you have faulty coil head/tank.

Hello weronk. Thanks for the welcome. I did try to screw the coil head as tight as i can (finger tight). It's not that much maybe a drop or two equivalent. Im new to vaping,like 2 days old, so tend to sweat the small stuff.

Make sure they are genuine KANGERTECH EVOD's. These will never leak, I have dropped them, use them daily, carried in a jacket pocket and riding 6 miles on a bicycle daily to and from work. Literally just a minute ago dropped it on table and rolled onto floor and still no leak.

I used non Kangertech clones ONCE and they leaked and gurgled and were terrible.

Are you using genuine KANGER EVOD'S?

@Hotwire i received it couple of days ago. I can't figure if this is a clone or what. I will attach a photo of the "leak" and a photo of the evod

Welcome. And it's a good thing you "sweat the small stuff". Leaks anywhere especially near the connector aren't kosher. I have no experience with the EVOD but I'm sure someone will help you out. Take care.

Thank you sir @BoomerFZ1 , so far i am enjoying my transition from smoking to vaping.
Is it normal to hear when i press the fire button some crackling sounds? i read somewhere that that is the juice being vaporized?

This is normal for the Evod. KangerTech US Electronic Cigarettes - Kanger Official Website There's some troubleshooting on this page, and it mentions this leak. You'll want to keep that area as clean as possible. Wipe it off whenever you take it apart.

Crackling sounds seem to be normal with that. Mine crackled constantly, no matter what I did. Gurgles mean it's flooded. You'll want to take the drip tip off, wrap a paper towel or tissue over the top, and shake it out, like you're shaking ketchup out of a bottle. Then twist up a corner of the paper towel and poke it down into the chimney to absorb any excess liquid. Clean out the drip tip too, because it collects lots of juice inside.

You can also using something called a sealed extender, so any eliquid that does leak out the bottom just lands on a hunk of metal rather than potentially getting into your PV.

I use something like this whenever I have a tank that is a bit leaky: V2 510 Shorty Extension Sealed | Madvapes

Good luck, welcome to vaping!

Forgive me. You will NOT stop an Evod or Protank leaking some liquid.
In fact, my only battery 'death' in the last 2 years was using exactly this tank.
That's why the new tanks have sealed 510 pins and use side airflow.
