EVOD's leaking something terrible

[nightlord]

Hey all, back when I got re-introduced into vaping I purchased a couple of EVOD's, and for a brief period of time they were alright, but then they began leaking something fierce. They drip onto the battery, excessively, they gurgle and spit out the top (more than condensation could ever account for)

I read a article explaining a fix for them - where you remove the silicon piece from the head of a used atty, and put it on the stem backwards (open end facing the tip) and for a brief period of time that remedied the situation, but not perfectly, and not permanently. My coil heads are tightened down, all of the o-rings are good, and I've washed and dried everything to be sure, and it still leaks bad.

If anyone has any experience with this I would love you long time, as I'd like to be able to use them, instead of having them just clog up my desk with an overwhelming feeling of disdain. (I exaggerate)

I had one do that earlier today. It was a bottom coil T3S mod and what I did was take the cap off it and replaced the filler on top of the coil. Leaking stopped then. It seems the darker liguids I use causes this more often than any of the other liquids I use.

You probably need to add more wick to the coil. It also helps if you raise the voltage a little.

I agree with the posters who say that you probably need to add a couple of strands of wicking material on top of your coil.

It is also beneficial to keep bcc clearos topped off with juice to maintain the vacuum.

I've been using single coil Kanger clearos (T3, Evod, Protank) for almost two years. I dryburn my coils about once a week and replace the original loose top wicks with one piece of either 1.5mm or 2.mm silica wick. If I have the right size wick in the coil, I can vape the tank almost completely dry.

try hitting it slow and steady. alot of friends i setup with t3s keep having the same issues, but when i use it there is no issues......


cause sometimes its not just the hardware that has a malfunction

I have had them leak a couple times - one because I forgot to put the ring back on....once from over filling, and one because the connector wasn't sitting right anymore.

Adding wicking material on top of the coil is what I do but I prefer a very small strand of cotton as it seems to be more forgiving. Depending on the particular tank, sometimes you can loosen the tank like a 1/4 to 1/2 turn helps also.

Next time you clean your coils, remove the chimney and look at the coil and where the flavor wicks are. If it worked fine then started leaking chances are the flavor wicks have fallen down the sides leaving gaping holes between the top of the coil wick and the chimney base. Pull the wicks out carefully not to unravel them and offset each one so each sticks out the side a bit, this works best with a brand new head. Something else is that the coil could be too low in the head so slide a thin pin through the coil and lift it up slightly. Kanger is cheap on the wicking so either learn some DIY or rebuilding, not using the stock heads right out of the box without opening the head up and looking at it first, and knowing what that coil is suppose to look like in the head and fix it to get the best performance out of it.
Best solution is to buy some 1 or 2mm silica wick, toss the stock wicks away and replace with a beefier flavor wick, that should solve the leaking and gurgling.

Just Picked up a Protank 3 Regular and Mini Cheap online. Also switched to Evod2 no more leaking gurgling and keeping tank full with the updated replacement coils for these tanks

Thanks for the tips. I may look into the flavor wick situation. The thing i tried previously was to take a grommet from a used head and slide it on upside down. And it fixed the issue temporarily, until the grommet somehow slid from the head to the airflow pipe in the tank proper, and i have to tweeze it out.
