I purchased a 3 pack eGo-tank atty. 2 outta the 3 was great. I just started using the 3rd one today, I have some leaking problems with the 3rd one. It's not leaking from the threaded end though. There are times I would get juice in my mouth, if i put my pv upside down I would see juice going up the sides on the mouth piece inside the tank carts. The other 2 tank atties that was great, 1 tank can last me for about 3 hours. This atty with the problem, each tank only last less then 1 hour. I would need to constantly, remove the mouth tip piece to wipe clean the inner w/ paper towel and blow out from the mouth piece end on the atty to avoid juice getting in my mouth. I also notice a harder draw on this one. I finish 3 tank on this 3rd atty, and have the same probelm on all the tanks. So I don't think it's the tanks problem.

I remember reading a post somewhere saying moding the wick, either by pulling up a bit or lowering it abit to stop the leak. I don't remember is it to pull up or lower a bit. If anyone knows let me know, or if you know other ways I can solve the problem let me know, too. Cant wait till LF stock up on LR tank atties to try.

Thank you all for reading :D

Just be very careful. A lot of people ruined their tanks attempting this.

Maybe wait for Ty or Abe to let you know if it's worth doing and whether doing it will void your warranty.

I also don't understand why you're getting the juice in your mouth. The tank is sealed. There might be something else going on.

K, thanks for the advise. I will ask Abe or Ty and see if that will void the warranty. Thanks for the link though. Actually I thought it was impossible till it actually happen to me. :p I don't understand either, at first I thought there was something wrong w/ the tank itself. But when all 3 tanks I used on the same atty had that problem, then I think it's the atty. But I think the juice is coming up from the sides of the tank (inside) there where I saw it when I turn it upside down. So I guess the atty was flooding, so when I vape, some juice from the side came up? (the air passage in the tank carts) Not sure if you understand what I'm talking about.

But thanks for your help Katya, you always been great help.

I think I do. You mean it leaks at the seam where the tank's whistle top snaps into the atty, right? BTW, I remove the two little plastic baffles from the whistle tip to minimize the condensation and improve airflow and no leaks.

I think you're right. It's probably the wick. It must be sitting too low.
