Help with Leaking

[Geraltofrivia]

Hey guys,
I am in need of some major help. I recently purchased a Zeus Solo Max mod and it’s been great. My first coil lasted for a month with no issues. However, my second coil leaked right off the bat. I took it to my vape shop and they said it was a dud, replaced it, and gave me a five pack. The one that they replaced it with is also leaking and spitting pretty badly. They are .2 ohm coils but my device reads them at .18. My wattage is around 45; the coil says the recommended is 60-70 but when I turn it up the spitting just gets worse. I clean my mod every day but this is still happening. Do I just have bad luck with coils or is this a user error?

Under powering a coil is a mistake with drop ins. You don't need to clean your tank daily unless you have an illness, monthly is good. Only thing I clean daily is the drip tip. Assuming you have checked the condition of your orings and that your coil is seated properly just blow out the excess juice and try 50-60w.

Proper priming is about the only thing you can do to prevent leaking, unless you have some other issue.
Improper alignment of the coil, bad o-rings, small crack(s) in the glass.

Did it leak in the store?

Just a heads up on vape terms... the "mod" is the battery part, the "tank" or "atty" is the part with the coil. Please specify which tank you have. Also, the more info you can offer, the better we can help you. What is the VG/PG ratio of the juice you are using? Did you fill the tank, wait at least 10 minutes, then slowly increase the watts to "break in" the coil. I'm really just guessing but trying to help. Maybe just didn't install the coil right...or did the vape shop do that for you? Does it "gurgle", is it leaking from the air intake? Save me the 20 questions and describe (in detail) what's happening.

Don't trip on the ohms reading... that's normal.
Oh forgot to ask... did it leak on your mod... into the screw-in connection (it's called a 510) or the fire button?
