Eleaf Melo atomizer leaking

[GreenEyezGirl]

Six or so months ago, I purchased my first eleaf Melo atomizer. Whenever it's tipped to the side, juice leaks from the air holes. It also leaves juice at the bottom where it connects to my battery. I contacted the store where I purchased it and they told me to check the O-rings, replace the coil, etc. I did all of that and it still continued to leak. I decided just to buy another one thinking maybe I just got a faulty one. Same thing is happening with this one. Can anybody tell me if I'm doing something wrong? I'm getting frustrated and don't want to try another atomizer.

Thank you!

I don't use RTAs, but I would stop tipping it on its side. You may be able to fix it by wicking it differently, but really you will get superior vapor and flavor if you return it and get an RDA, another rebuildable except without the tank of juice.

Hi Dave. I don't intentionally tip it, but it'll leak when it's in my purse and not STRAIGHT up. And it still doesn't explain the juice that leaks on the bottom. Also, the coils are already wicked. I'm not confident nor interested in rebuilding. I just want to twist and go.

If you got two of them, and they both leak on their sides, and they use pre-made coils, I'd say it was time to stop buying those. I want to suggest operator error because that's usually the problem but really, it's not easy to screw up a pre-made coil head tank unless you don't get the coil all the way in or pinch an o-ring or something. If you're sure you have good o's, and the coils are all the way in, and you have tried coils from different boxes-- impossible not to if you have two tanks-- then I'd say that tank doesn't like you and it's time for divorce. Try an Aspire Atlantis or a Kanger Sub Tank. Both have +/- ohm coil options. The Aspire uses the same coils as your Melo, so you can either use your spares or run away screaming; you make the call.

Divorce it, I shall. Thanks for the tip, suprtrkr. I have tried the Aspire and didn't like it much. Maybe I'll check out the Kanger Sub Tank. Thanks for the suggestions!

To be honest, my Melo has never leaked when it's on its side. Nor does it leak while vaping it at an angle. Not really sure what is all going on with that, maybe I received one with anti leak built in to it just kidding. I know you have moved on and found a new solution but just wanted to put it out there that not all leak when they're put on their side.

Take care,
vape on!

I don't have that tank but it would seem that some tanks just leak when put on their sides.
Sometimes wicking them a certain way can help but you want the wicking to be done for a good vape not to stop a device from leaking.
