Help.. My Halo Triton Tank is leaking

[sillypanda]

I apologize if this is a duplicate post but I did a search and found nothing..

I noticed a gargling noise and saw some eliquid on the inside of my battery (where it connects to the tank). I cleaned it out and went to bed thinking that I must've spilled some juice into the center. This morning when I went to vape, I heard the noise again. I cleaned it out once again (the battery and where the driptip is). About half an hour later, the gargling noise and spillage reoccured.

I'm still new to vaping. Is there anything I could do to stop this?

check and make certain your coil assembly is tightened.

Take off the "drip tip" and take hold of the post sticking up with the white silicon condom on it. Make certain it's tight. Sometimes if it's not tightened enough, just unscrewing the mouthpiece/drip tip will fully unscrew that, and you have leaking tank.

Also, make sure you aren't cranking the tank down on the threads. Sometimes over tightening them can cause them to leak.

Remove the coil assembly from the base of the tank.

Check to make sure that the coil is firmly tightened at the top of the assembly.

The Triton is a top coil tank. Those rarely leak without our intervention. The only way for liquid to get down through the air hole is through a loose or worn out coil, or leaking through a damaged or worn out grommet or o-ring. Or, you could be overfilling it or filling it improperly. Always pour the liquid down the side, never down the middle. And stop well before the so-called "topping off" point.

If all else fails, replace the coil and try again.

Thank you all so much for the tips!!
I took the "drip tip" off and tightened the center. I went on lunch, came back, removed the tank and saw no liquid on the battery.
so far so good.. yay!! =D

Been using mine for a month; keeping it tight, at every refill helps, but condensation happens. It's normal to have a damp connection; I just clean it with the corner of a napkin.
