Iowa gal what type of tank do you have and where is it leaking from? I use tanks and it's very frustrating to have a leaky one. I love using my tanks and not having to top off my cartos anymore, maybe we can trouble shoot your tank and figure out what is wrong.
Sorry to hear you are sick kittiepie feel better soon. I took the liberty of disinfecting the thread with lysol and clorox wipes to keep us all germ free :p

The chibi tank is what I am fighting with. I did order some new grommets as the top one does not seem to fit. I also got a couple of the Smoke Tech dcc tanks and so far so good. My dream is the jonboy and I will try in the future again:) I agree that when the tank is working...all is good....forgot to add that all leaks have been from the bottom of the carto not the tank itself.

Just to be clear is it dripping from the hole in the bottom of the carto or from the O rings where the carto passes through. I have found when I have had leaking out of the carto either my carto hole/punch is too big or has damaged the wicking inside and it is wicking too fast causing overflow. It sounds gurgley and I am sometimes able to blow it out gently, or I start over with smaller hole. Do you punch your own cartos?
l was lucky enough to score a Johnboy tank awhile back, and it's great. My newest favorite is the Phiniac tank, it is pyrex, so no worries about it cracking with juice, and is so sturdy no leaks and has hand blow designs on it. Worth checking out, I like the look even better than my Johnboy. Also another good one is the Notcigs M1A1- the screw on this one makes it impossible for your carto to slip and doubles as a filling port so refills are a breeze.

Poor Kitty..hopefully the medicine will help..take it easy and get rested up.
Minx...my tank leaking issues are totally from the carto flooding. I purchased pre-punched carts....they also say I'm flooding the carto due to air pressure issues when filling. I just need to keep at it and will eventually figure it out. When it works, it's great. Somone gave me a great idea today... fill the tank then set it in a plastic cup...if it's going to leak it will right away and the juice will be in the cup instead of running down my battery:) I have seen the Phiniac tanks and they are beautiful...maybe someday. Iowa's wishlist for 2012 Jonboy tank, Phiniac tank and learning how to use the silly things....

Iowa Gal, I know you don't have a Lava Tank yet, but there are some video's that might help you...

The Lava Tank Maintenance Thread : Lavacorps - International Vapers Club

Read thru this thread and check out the video's when you get the chance. They will also prepare you for when you do get your Lava tank!!;) If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know!

One last thing...what carto's are you using in your tanks? I had some DCC and never could get them to not leak, the filler is alot looser in them then in the Boge carto's.

I am using the Boge's.... I really think I just haven't mastered the filling process - they have to be syringe filled and I'm not getting all of the air out..I think:) The biggest thing is it's hard to get fired up to try them with the problems I've had. Need more time to challenge my patience. This weekend I'll give them a go, I don't want to let some silly little plastic tank get the best of me. I really like the SmokeTech Dual Coil tanks I got, just easier to fill and no leaking issues. They are also slimmer and fit nicely on the KGO and my new little vv box. Thanks for the link above I will check it out and do my best to clear my calendar (no company!) for the next sale.

Feel better, Kittypie! Good news, I found sis's package. It was waiting when I got back. I e-mailed her to let her know it came back and I'm sending it out again in the AM. Take care!

Hello, Vapers. I am new here...haven't even gotten my first order from VV yet, but the juices sound so good.

I started vaping with a Blu e cig and loved it. I ordered a kgo and some juices and found they weren't nearly as good as the Blu cartos and made my throat dry and uncomfortable. After reading on the Blu site, I realized their carto juice has no PG.

I don't want a lot of TH, just a lot of flavor and vapor. From the reviews, I think your juices will fill the bill, Annette.

Feel better, kittypie.

A lot of people have mild allergies to PG so you might be among them. If you feel better vaping VG, definitely listen to your body. Either way though, vaping can tend to be dehydrating so be sure and drink lots of extra water--always a good idea anyway! I hope you enjoy your flavors once you get them! Welcome to Virgin Vapor!

Good Afternoon.
Kittypie I hope you feel better soon!
Lilic - a big Hello
Still have not had a ciggie, over two weeks now. Lol - My tricky addicty brain keeps trying to convince me that I "need" an analog, or else slyly creeps in and whispers that just one little puff would be ok.
No No no - I don't need a ciggie and as for one little puff, "I don't want to get onto that merry-go-round!"
I am learning how to say "No" no matter what that little monkey on my back try's to tell me!
