Freemax Mesh Pro Resin Tank Advice

[MadSerpent]

I just recently got a Freemax Mesh Pro Resin tank, I wanted to see if anyone else has had a problem with the top sliding open in their pocket? Is it something I am going wrong or is it defective or just bad design?

I have it in use with the bubble glass and so far am very happy with the flavor and cloud production. I have it on smok alien 220w. Previously I had a crown 3 on my box but it broke. Now the new FreeMax looks too big for the box. Any suggestions on a different box?

Thanks for any help

Hey, welcome to the forum. I'm not familiar with your tank, but if you're patient I'm sure someone who is will reply. I wouldn't think it's normal for a top to open that easily. Is this your pants pocket? That's never a good idea btw

I do not have one. It appeared to me that the device was by definition all plastic. Is this so? Just curious. It sure sounds like the latter two to me, though one suggestion would be to not keep it in your pocket I suppose. Really there should be some sort of stop to prevent that. If there isn’t there is a problem.

I carry mine (Freemax Mesh Pro Resin) in my shirt pocket so not a lot of force being exerted on it that could cause it to open. I've seen other tanks where the top would slide open in a pants pocket.

The one fix that seems universal to all tanks with a sliding top is a vape band around the top that locks it in place. If you have a wide band slip it on straight, if you only have narrow bands it goes on diagonally, around the back of the top and down the front of the tank.

Thank for the replies. While I agree it isn’t a good idea to keep it in your pocket sometimes it is not avoidable.

Sdennislee- great idea to use a band. I am smacking myself because I didn’t think of that.

The slide open fill designs are always going to be a candidate for doing that unless you get one like the Geekvape Alpha with locking mechanism. As for the tank being too big for the mod the alien is pretty much bang on average size for a dual 18650 device.

The vape band sounds like it will work though certainly worth a try!

I've had the same issue with an Ello tank. I tried the vape band, but it can slide up or down and the leave the sliding top cap unprotected. What I use now is a piece of electrical tape (cut in half length wise) wrapped around the tank and cap. (all you really need is about 50% wrapped, around the side cap slides 'toward'. (you can even get the tape in colors). On my mod the tank is mostly hidden (SBS) so not really noticeable.

I have two of them and the tops have stayed in place when carrying around in a pocket. Yes, it's feasible it could slide open while carrying, but the slides on mine are pretty firm, and require pressure right where the red dot is to push it back. Does the top slide feel loose or take very little pressure to move?

I've never had this problem with my freemax mesh pro but I must admit that I seldom take it out and about(due to its size)

You can see it happening just by the design the tighter the pocket the more there is a chance, personally not experienced it as i tend to use top airflow tanks when out and about.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Happy to hear you liked the solution.

Same problem here it opens up and i lose almost half a tank of juice that drios down my beutiful mod lol...only solution besides taping down or what ever is dont keep it in your pocket. I found a carrying case that works great.

My mesh pro will slide open occasionally. I wouldn't say it's loose, just the design of the sliding top fill cap...I think any of them will do that if your not careful. I put mine in a case when I'm carrying it to work because I have had to many accidents with it. I don't normally bring it out and about though because of the fact the top could slide open. I bring my top airflow RTA's usually and my pods.

I've never had this problem, for me it is a stay at home device, too big and bulky to carry around. For out and about I take my dolphin and/or my nord.

I’ve heard around here that one solution for problems like this is to use a vape band that you slide up to the top of the tank to keep the top on place. I don’t know if that would work for this particular tank design or not though.
