[Trentcloud]

Hi, im trent. I just baught the eleaf ikonn 220 kit and i wanted to put my smok tfv 12 on it, but when i go to use it after a few minutes the glass on the tank gets really hot, and juice comes out where the air flow is. Any help? Thanks!

Hello Trent and Welcome.
The TFV12 does get hot due to the larger coils.
As far as liquid coming out the AF I would make sure the coil is seated correctly, and the coil could be flooded in which you just take a paper towel, hold it around the AF and just blow through the DT to clear it.

I seen that the ikonn 220 has a copper fittong and on the bottom of the eloo is copper to, but the tfv12 is steel. Could that be a problem as well?

No, some mods/tanks use different materials for their 510 pins.

Alright. Thank you!

The heat from that tank when vaping at high wattage changes the viscosity of the liquid in it. Less viscosity means less ability for the coil and wicking to keep flooding at bay.

Slow down.

Yes, with that kind of coil you are going to get heat when you chain-vape. I'd also check to see if the coil is seated correctly, some smok coils are fabricated with some wire that needs to be dealt with that can cause flooding and poor wicking. If it continues with a new coil, you may want to take it in to a B&M and see if they can help you with it.

With that said, chain vaping can cause flooding of the coil, is it doing it consistently though, from the very first puff? If so, it's probably not chain vaping that's the cause of the flooding though it certainly would be the cause of the heat in your tank.

Best of luck,

Anna
