Check to make sure the stem (top part) of the coil assembly is fully seated, pushed all the way down that is. This is the area the wicks fill, if the wicks don't fill this area you will get flooding like crazy.

The evod is one of my favorite devices, even up there with my kayfun and terminator-c. Don't give up on it, genius device and unbeatable value at $6 a pop.

Look into rebuilding it too, much better performance can be had with a microcoil and cotton. You will need to pick up a multimeter. I got a $7 one from microcenter and I use it daily.

Oh my god, this works! WHY DOES THIS WORK? Are you a wizard??
Thank you for the secret EVOD cheat code. You're the best.

And thank you to everyone else for the other replies, it's nice to know I have a lot of little things I can fiddle with and try out when I have trouble.

Glad to see you sorted it :) Now onto rebuilding!

Like I mentioned in my last post, today is my first day. Is there a too much to smoke ? I am at about a half of EVOD( 18mg of nicotine Alpha Juice) right now and thats from around 8am this morning , its 730pm now. If someone could help me with knowing how much is "too much" that would be great !

Evods don't hold much, you're fine. You'll know when you've had too much. You'll get a headache or lightheaded or queasy.

Because there was a 1mm space between the atomizer head and the bottom of the center tube, so liquid was getting into the center tube.

You can confirm this by adding a second cap, inverted (so you would have 2 silicone caps on top back to back) and see if it still screws on without pressure. If if screws on too tight too fast, it means there was no extra space; if it screws all the way in then there was enough space for 2 silicone caps to fit in the gap.

It's only to much if you have symptoms of to much nic. Listen to your body while you go through the withdrawal stage, you will know if it's to much or not enough. :).
 
Wow sorry to here having trouble with what I thought to be one of the best little units around. 1st are they 100% Kanger EVODS ?
If not just throw them away. I have 2 of them and they are great and people at work also use them with no problem. Something is a miss and we need more info.
I have Mini Protank II also maybe you should go that route it is an upgrade to glass tanks. What ever you do do not get clones get 100% Kanger stuff and you should be ok.

I would imagine the evods are real but who knows now a days. lol The collar around the bottom of the tank says Kangertech EVOD. Sound authentic ?

I have had the same problem with every bc kanger tank evod t3 t3s when they get low. I was considering getting a kanger aero but based on all the lower dollar mangers I'm not ready to throw 25$ out the window on another kanger that leaks like a siv

If they all leak it's user error/inexperience. I've been using Kanger BCCs for a year now (I have all of them, including the T2 and T4), and never had a leak or a burnt taste. Promise.

Please check the list below and make sure you're using them correctly:

Troubleshooting 101:

If your clearo is flooding, the connections are not tight enough--or too tight. Keep reading.

If you're using clearos and getting a burnt taste it means that not enough juice is getting to the coil and you're basically vaping dry, hot air or inhaling smoke from the gunk that's burning off of your coil. Not a good thing. Another case of bad taste maybe the tank itself--some arrive covered with some kind of nasty grease; wash them with soap and water (just the tanks--soak the coils in PGA or vodka).

There are a few things you need to remember when using a T3 or an eVod or a ProTank--in addition to keeping your coils clean and free of gunk that accumulates on them.

1) Make sure that the atomizer coil is screwed into the base tightly--every time you refill; they often come not fully tightened from the manufacturer, or may have gotten loose through repeated refills.

2) Look at all the inner seals and gaskets to make sure they haven't become dislodged.

3) Make sure that you screw the tank into its base tightly. If it's not tight, it will leak.

4) When you screw your clearomizer into your battery, do not overtighten--screw it in only until it makes contact--no farther, or you may push the center post in too deep and cause all kinds of problems, including leaking. When the draw becomes tight or the taste and vapor production begin to diminish, replace the coil. This will happen sooner (even as soon as one day of heavy use) if you're using dark, viscous, or very sweet juices. The old coil can be cleaned and dry burned.

5) Make sure you're not getting any juice in the center tube when you're filling--this will cause your eVod to leak like a sieve. If some juice gets into the tube, close the top cap, place a tissue under your tank and blow gently through the clearomizer to get rid of any excess eliquid. Also, extra condensation inside the tank may, on some occasions, drip back into the center tube. Wipe your mouthpiece dry with a q-tip or a tissue when you refill (or more often when/if needed).

6) Take an occasional "primer puff" (a slow draw without activating the battery) when you vape. It helps move the juice into the coil chamber and removes any air bubbles that sometimes form in the tank and may cause gurgling or impede proper wicking.

7) Take slow long draws rather than sharp and quick ones like we used to do while smoking cigarettes. Do not over vape, chain vape, power vape. Let the juice travel to the coil between drags.

and last but not least

8) Do not remove any flavor wicks if you're experiencing any leaking or flooding. Those wicks are there for a reason. If you feel that you have to remove a wick because your eliquid is particularly thick, do it carefully--one strand at a time. If your liquid is super thin, you can thicken it with a bit of VG (USP--pharma grade) or you can add another strand of cotton to your flavor wick. Don't add too much or you'll choke your atomizer and get a dry hit.

Also, make sure you're vaping at correct wattages; I like 5.5-7 watts.
