Fix for Kanger Heads

[Guise]

Hello,

Picked up my 1st pen 2 weeks ago. Its an evod 2 vv and worked really well for about 2 days. Started looking into rebuilds and ways to make it function better. Found some things to try that have helped some. After almost being completely fed up and done with it ready to get a pack of cigarettes, I found a simple fix. Hopefully this will help others having similar issues.

​

1. Take a spare sleeve/boot from a toasted atomizer

2. Invert it and slip on to a new atomizer

This gives a tight seal and prevents leaking. I have been experimenting with this for a few days to work out the kinks. The main problem is it pushes the original sleeve over the wick too much and blocks the flow of liquid. I removed the center wick from the dual coil and it leaked a bit. So i tried removing less wick and now it hits like a champ. One more thing is the inverted boot will collect juice like a cup. Snipping down the side wall will make it into a flat washer that is very effective. At first, assembling the head to the tank is really snug. It does break in though after filling a couple times. Will go to the hardware store soon to explore more permanent options.

I actually tried this same method when I had gurgling problems. I even cut down the sides of one of the seals like you did. It did fix the problem but even with cutting the sides Down I wasn't getting as good a hit. Now I just invert the one seal on the chimney and have been making my own cotton wicks and it has been perfect.

I tried this with my Kanger EVOD that was leaking.
It was having problems with leaking while filling, and eventually while using it (when holding the battery upsidedown), and I don't know how the hell this worked, but it absolutely did.
Just an extra silicon sleeve on top of the old one and I haven't had ANY problems since.
Maybe I figured out the filling process (been filling it while at a 45-degree angle)....
but either way haven't had any problems with it since.

Such an amazingly easy fix. Haven't had the problem with the second EVOD, but... wondering... is there any place to buy the sleeves without buying a new cartomizer/atomizer (whatever it is, I'm pretty new to this)?
Since it's such an easy fix and they work really well with this fix, I'd love to buy a couple extra ones just incase I continue to have this issue.

Also, thanks for the info!

(Also, I had no change in hit, but my EVODs were/are hitting great anyways)

Why dont you take some pictures and post them for others to see?

If you are talking about the little cup that goes on the chimney of the coil assembly, you can get them at Lightning Vapes:

Silicone Top Caps for Protank / Evod Style Coil Heads - Lightning Vapes

Along with all parts for a Kanger EVOD/Protank style coil, both single coil and dual coil.

Odd. I tried the same thing with my evod and t3s clearos. Gave me dry hits, burnt taste, etc.

I wish that I could remember where I read it, but I read online that someone had lick with completely removing the chimney seal. I tried it. No leaks(other than what I have read is the standard BCC "a drop or 2 on the battery pin"), very seldom any gurgling, no dry hits.

Works for me.

Leaking while filling?...You're getting juice in the center tube

Leaks when assembled? Something is to tight, to loose, or not seated properly.
To tight and you mash up seals and gaskets. Meaning they distort and allow leaks of liquid or air, choke off proper air flow to the coil head and vacuum won't properly set up.

In 8 months of running Evod's and PT's I never found a leak that wasn't due to the above, except the one time I got a batch of counterfeit coils.
