Ego-t b from liberty-flights leaking :( HELP!!!!!

[Renzuli]

Welcome to ECF , I have had an EGO-T and as soon as I went to a thicker liquid (more VG) my leaks stopped . There are soft rubber replacement caps , to replace the stock ones . Also less likely to leak . But after awhile , I found it easier to just use carto's . No leaks , no drips , no errors . Your choice .

My eGo leaked for the first time last night. The weird thing is I took the hard plastic cap off and replaced it with the rubber cap....that's when it started leaking. I put the hard one back on and now it's leak free again. For me the soft caps didn't work as well. I do find that you sometimes just have bad tanks. I had one that flooded the atomizer a lot but when I switched tanks it stopped and was vaping perfectly. It's not always the wick placement as everyone claims.

Thats very interesting because I've been having to clean my mom's joy ego type b all day wether its a 100vg or 50/50 mix and it still leaks. My mom (coa097 here on the forum). The juice seems to leak all over the ecig atty and battery. We've been sharing it until mine comes in from liberty-flights later this week. Are you talking about the regular caps that come on the tank not the rubber cover that you take off a brand new tank. I really would like to fix this so we can get off the analogs. Since its been spazzing out i been smoking analogs just cause I dont wanna be bothered with the headache.
My mom ordered 2 replacement atty's and I think they were dead upon arrival. I filled up a brandnew tank with juice put it on one of the replacement atty's and there was no air flow or anything it was super tight and couldn't get any air flow through once the battery was on. However if i take the battery off you can hear airflow going through the atty into tank, once battery was put on nothing no air no vapor im confused as hell. I just got down cleaning them with what i read on here and youtube. Put the 2 replacement atty's in distilled water and bring to a near boil do that for 15 mins. Than take them out after 15mins and put them in 70 proof alcohol and it looks like the paint from one of the atty's kinda flaked alil bit. Blow from battery end to get excess liquid out and im letting them dry right now. Ill see tomorrow morning if my eferts paid off. But I doubt it. Im so confused My mom and I wanna quit but come on its gotta be easier than this.

UPDATE: after doing some testing with a blank cartridge on the 2 replacement atty's there is airflow without the battery attached, put on the battery and back to square 1 nothing no airflow no vapor nothing straight up dead. Switch out atty for the extra one that came with the kit put blank cartridge attach battery and viola airflow. Replace blank cartridge for one with juice and vapor YAY!!! So i came to the conclusion that the 2 replacement atty's were DOA. So gotta make a phone call to get them replaced for working ones hopefully. I figured it all out by my self im so proud of my self. *Pats my self on back*

It IS awesome when you get a feel for figuring this stuff out, isn't it?
Good luck with the replacements for the (doa) replacement atties. I've had nothing but problems, (with a few exceptions) with the products from LF's . And I have NO problem saying so.

If you dont mind me asking what kinda problems. Like bad products?

It's kind of frowned upon to diss a registered vender here, but...uh...yeah.

Their Rivas are notorious for problems. It's hit or miss. Sometimes you get a set that works well, more often they don't. Their shipping was fast, and return policy great, (it would have to be REALLY!), so I took the gamble a few times. But recently got a SS starter set, that fried six atties on me. (the two that came in the kit, then two replacements, then a couple IKV cannons, then the Rivas themselves BOTH died the same day. ( they wouldn't quit firing. I had to remove the attie, and burnt myself in the process!)That's it for me as far as LF is concerned.

The chargers fall apart/ malfunction relatively quickly also.

They are recommended here a lot, low pricing and all, but seriously... "Buyer Beware" does, in fact, apply!

I had that issue with my ego-t i found that vicki's videos from cignot helps out. she shows how to fix the leaking issue with the ego-t tank. i followed the vid and now no more leaks. basically you adjust the wick up or down from the hole to prevent leaks
