eGo C Leaking/Sucking Through Juice

[whiteywan]

I've seen plenty of threads about the eGo-T leaking but nothing about the eGo-C. Anywho, I'm using the Type A cart and juice is somehow leaking. I have actually two different problems I think.

1 - Leaking out of the bottom of the tank where it hits the atomizer. I think this is because after you break the cap off to fill it up, it never tightly seals again/easily comes unsealed while situated in the cone. One thought occurred to fix this: not break the seal. But there is no other way for me to get the juice in, as the nozzles on the juice are too large and it just ends up squirting juice around the outside of the tank. I have tried to use a syringe that I got from a diabetic friend of mine to no avail...it was too thin. And the local retail store didn't have any that would be any thicker.

2 - Some of the juice is sucking up into the part of the tank where it is not supposed to go...I hear bubbling when this occurs. I have yet to determine why/how this happens.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

There are some thin tipped bottles out there that work and there are these:

Needle Tip Applicator Bottles

NEEDLE OILER BOTTLES - Brownells

Needless to say - start with a new cap or get the soft silicone caps from say, cignot - you might ask for a thin tipped bottle there too - email.... and then check this out:

Joye eGo-T Leaking Problem Fix - YouTube

So far not many have had to do that with the c and the preference from reports are the hard caps are better. Not so on the t's though - soft caps work better on the B type eGo-t's.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I am having this issue. I had an eGo-T and had the same problem so I bought an eGo-C after trying a friend's whose C worked perfectly...and now I'm having the same issue with the C as I did with the T
I'll definitely look at that video later when it's not so loud in my room. Thanks for the advice!

The cap of the tanks should have a tight fit. When I refill mine, I always get a nice snap when putting them back on. They diffidently shouldn't be leaking enough to reach the vent of the tank.

Maybe you just got a bad batch of carts...? Also, make sure you don't fill them up to the brim.

Every time I refill my tank, I take a paper towel & put it in the cone to wipe the inside out. I usually just have a touch, way less then a drops worth, around the atty.

When you put the lid on are you squeezing it enough to get it snap? If not maybe try a new one. Are all five in the pack you have like that.

So far, three out of the five have been like that. I think I am getting a snap when I put them back on but maybe I'm not getting enough of a snap. I'll have to make a note to myself to check on that next time I refill
