help! juice in mouth and serius issues with leakage/ battery charge

[dielonnn]

Okay where to start.. well my set up is a ego t battery 650 and I just bought a krager protank mini 2.
It was working awsome the other day but today it keeps leaking like a .... and cant figure it out I retightened the wick kleened the battery connection multiple times in 15 mins bc it kept filling up. I then noticed the battery was dying or at least its blinkin 5 times but I keeps working but I dont understand this bc I just charged it for like 6 hours and only but using it for like 1 hours
Its very frustrating the most frustrating thing is it keeps spiting the e juice into my mouth and it tastes nassty.
Could all this be cause by a ....ty battery?
Im wondering if my battery just wont hold a charge and bc of the low charge its not vaporizing ny juice and its flooding on the battery connection and going up into my mouth.

One thing I should mention is this all started happenin after I tried charging my battery using my phone chargers wall port that you plug the usb connector into and it has a higher output
Idk if I did some damage to the battery but this is getting extremely frustrating and I am even begining to think I bought a clone bc how horrible the charge is and when I opened up my other one (it cane with 2 ego t s) there was no writing on the battery very generic looking)

Sorry for all the writing any help would be apprecaited greatly

It is 10 blinks for a battery that needs to be charged. I think 5 blinks is a shorted coil. Have you tried changing out the head in the protank? Bad heads can also lead to leaking, which is extremely common in protanks. I doubt charging with your phones charger would cause these problems unless it is way out of spec for USB adapters.

 

[dielonnn]

Idk about the 10 blinks I think ever since I got it it only blinks 5 times right before it dies and then I charge it and it doesnt do it again until it needs to be charged again
The only thing different with the blinks this time is it blinks 5 times and then keeps working but it floods the battery connecter and apits it up into my mouth and its got juice leaki g all in where I take my mouthpeice off

Im not sure what you mean by my head in the protank, is that the little peice with the wicks in it that screws out in the bottom of the protank.

Well I took the whole protank apart cleaned it and put it back together and it seems to be better but its only been 5 mins and still occasinal bit of leakin into my mouth but much betterthan before.
Im guna go buy a new battery today anyways and well se what happens ill also ask them there at the store to take a look at it

Another possibility is that you're drawing too hard for what airflow is available. You could try drilling out the air holes on the side of the base. It makes for a more airy draw, then much less likely to suck up juice.

 

[dielonnn]

Ya I saw a kid at the vape shop that did that and his rips were soo huge I was thinkin of doin that but I dont wana .... up the only good tank I have right now bc moneys tight

 

[dielonnn]

I think my atomizer was just not screwed in right or somthing bc since I took it apart and put it together its pretty much fine now, also I dont think it makes a differance but I switched the glass peice of the tank going the other way bc I think last time I cleaned it I put it back in upside down but I dont think it makes a differance it seems to be the same size on both sides
I know there is a oring on one side but I just put the ori g up in the top metal peice of the mouthpeice

 

[jimbodaddy74]

Drill them out one at a time until you reach a comfortable balance. I did the same thing with my old T3S tanks and only had to drill them to 1/16". Hardly noticeable as far as aesthetics, but a huge difference on performance.

Many of the bottom coil clearos like your PT2 can actually loosen the coil in the base from simply opening it up to refill. That might be what started your problems, as well as the already mentioned possibilities.

Next time you have it apart, put the O-ring on the bottom, if it only has one. (Don't have a PT2 mini, but my PT2 and Davide glassos have them top and bottom - did you lose one in cleaning?)

Drawing too hard can definitely result in pulling juice up the chimney to the drip tip. Practice slower (and maybe longer) draws to minimize that.

Thoroughly clean your battery contacts. Turn it off. 5 clicks. Moisten a swab with rubbing alcohol and scrub it out. Take a twist of tissue and jam it down and twirl around a bit to clean all juice out from between the center post (positive connection) and the sides (negative.) Give it plenty of time to dry out before turning back on. The alcohol will evaporate quickly, and faster if you blow on it. Having had your topper leak down into it, you want to make sure it's ALL cleaned out.

You found the problem. There is an O ring on both sides of the glass of a MPT. Sometimes they stay in the channel and sometimes stick to the end of the glass. Sounds like you ended up having both on the same end.

Should also mention, the 5 times blinking led means pressing power button too long, it shuts down the battery to protect the coils.

One thing I should mention is this all started happening after I tried charging my battery using my phone chargers wall port that you plug the usb connector into and it has a higher output

Somewhere on the wall adapter it should state the DC voltage and amperage output. Typically the output should be 5 volts and around .5 amps, or 500 mA. If the voltage is higher than that, you may have cooked your battery.

Thanks guys I really apprecaite all the help it seems to be working completly now just a very little leakage here and there with basicly none in my mouth, I should mention I also bought a new battery, a 1300 vision spinner, I love it compared to the ego t, you guys on this forum are the best and have helped me out a lot

 

[GaG8tor]

You will love the spinner. First real batteries I ever bought and I'm still using them after 7 months. Plenty of power. I've experimented with plenty of tanks including the mini PT2.Although the one I have is a knockoff it's still a piece of crap in my mind. Same issues. I've found the best clearomizers so far to be the Kanger T2 and the Aspire BDC mini. JMO.

 

[dielonnn]

I will deffinaitly look into them this is my first clearomizer I baught besides the two plastice disposable top feeding ones that came with my ego t start up kit

 

[johnspack]

Then if you haven't already, get at least the 1300mah spinner batteries, or the new 1600s. You don't graduate in vaping until you have variable voltage!

 

[GaG8tor]

Yeah. Definitely go with the new 1600mah.

 

[dielonnn]

I already bought the 1300 they didnt have the 1600 at my shop in town, I gotta get a prepaid visa card so I can start ordering online...credit sucks :/
