Just bought an aspire Cleito tank about a week ago and the first couple days were fantastic but now it's leaking from the air holes uncontrollably! Currently using the .2 coil with 70/30 juice running at about 40-45 W. I clean it out and it happens again. Is this a tank issue? Or something I can fix? Also, can anyone recommend me a tank that's less prone to leaking PLEASE..so tired of this

9/10 times leaky tanks are due to wicking.
UD Bellus ALWAYS leaking after refilling
Actually leaky tanks are NEVER due to wicking. The purpose of the wick is to deliver juice to the coil, not control juice flow. A leaking tank is ALWAYS due to a bad seal. You CAN use the wick to control leaking in a tank with a bad seal, but it's finicky and not its purpose. If the o-rings are good and a good seal is maintained, it won't leak even with no wick at all.

As others have mentioned check seals and make sure nothing has been cross threaded and everything is snug.

If you have experienced any dry hits there may be some cotton burnt away, allowing liquid to pass through.

Also, a complete dis-assembly and proper cleaning might help.
Don't know why? But it does sometimes stop the leaks. Cheers.
