Genesis DID clone leaking

[genoxy]

Hi all,


Been using it for a couple of days now and vaping sideways like my ZAP to get the wick to bring juice to the coil BUT it leaks a lot! My ZAP doesn't leak anywhere near this much and its getting annoying and wasting juice. The ZAP has a rubber seal where the wick is, anything like that out there for this RBA?


any suggestions to fix this or what I'm doing wrong? Pic below...

Are you using one of the pre made ZAP wicks in your DID clone? It looks that way, anyway. Your wick appears way to loose in the wick hole. The wick for the DID clone should be about 3/32" in diameter.

Yeah I am, there was a short one in the bag so figured I'd use that.

If I make my own wick should it basically fill that hole?

yep. fill that sucker up. use maybe 2 inches of mesh rolled tightly. i have that same atomizer but i cant remember how big my mesh was. it might have even been the stock mesh that came with it that was the right size.

I use a 2" long piece of mesh in my did clones. It can be rolled to *almost* fill the hole. I can get it rolled to where it is just slightly smaller than the hole which leaves room for air to get into the tank, but not enough to cause any leaking...

Thanks guys, need to get a blowtorch lighter then give rolling a SS wick a try myself

I just soak the cut sheet in VG and light it. Repeat with different grip position. Then roll up, soak in VG and light again. You don't need a torch for this method. Might not be the best, but it works for me. It's not heavy oxidation, nor the lightest. I mainly do it to burn off machine oil and finger grease.

Edit: Use PG or your least favorite liquid if you don't have VG.

Mine is currently filled with a 25mm wide wick with a small hole/tunnel in da middle. Helps wicking at high wattages. If u want a real solid wick use a 30mm wide wick.

IMHO you shouldn't leave a gap between the wick and the wickhole. It encourages steeping (darkening or discoloration of eliquid). I usually just leave my fill hole open for airflow.

Vaping it now at 0.4ohms dual coil and 4.0 volts. Insane vapor, flavor and throat hit. Tilting is a must tho to avoid dry hits.
