Eleaf icare 140

[Bobbie Jo Daggerhart]

I have been a pen style vapor for 5 years now. I used the old technology style until parts are no longer available. I recently purchased the eleaf icare 140, however, my cartridges keep falling apart. After adding juice the gasket swells & the cartridge soon literally blows the gasket & renders useless. I have bought my first batch of cartridges from a local store. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a supplier alternative that may have better options? Attached is a photo of my cartridge.

Several online vendors carry the replacement coils. I wonder if your local store had a batch of fake coils or a supply of poor QC ones.

You're still using "older technology". Any design older than 2 years in this industry is considered older technology.

You can buy your coils at My Vapor Store, a reputable online vendor that I've used for several years.

Or, maybe your juice is too potent. Perhaps use that juice in a different atomizer? Back when we had plastic tanks around, there were Tank Crackers, juices that would crack tanks and even melt driptips.

And destroy o-rings. You're bring back bad memories, r77r7r. I remember I was filling a plastic clearomizer with some Strawberry Lemonade e-juice and it literally melted in my hands before I had finished filling it.

• There are some flavors which can destroy plastic tanks. Discover which flavors are known to cause this, watch a video of a tank melting using one of these flavors, and see a picture dictionary of safe products to use if you enjoy using these flavors.

Welcome and glad you joined.
I like your style of vaping. I would collect the broken cartos and take them back to the vape shop. By seeing and examining the problem, the shop folks may provide a solution.
Could contact the US factory rep for Eleaf, ask to speak to the technical representative :
