Hey so I bought the uwell crown about 2 weeks ago and since this is a new tank to me and my last tank was the subtank mini, I don't understand why there is juice leaking from my air holes area. It's not actually leaking from the holes but when I turn the bottom part to close the holes, there is juice leaking hope that makes sense. I don't understand why I just put in a new coil 3 days ago and I primed it good but it just keeps leaking. It's getting to the point where I just want to stop using it and look for a new tank. The coil I'm using now is the .25 one it comes with and right now I don't have any new ones until I can get paid and buy new ones. Anyone know why it keeps leaking? Should I try and change the o rings and see if that will help?

So you bought the original Crown tank , OK, you are right the O rings on that one are pretty easy to lose so make sure they are all in place , airflow should be closed when filling .

If you fill it from the bottom instead of the top it tends to stop leakage issues but the tank should not leak regardless if you top fill or bottom fill .

I know the optional RBA head that you can buy for the tank has to be wicked in a certain way because that one will leak if not wicked correctly .

Is this an authentic Crown or a cloned version , the clones on E BAY can be had for around $17.00 and many B&M's actually sell the clones as authentic .

Ya I'm going to change the o rings the next time I wash out the tank and change the coil to see if that helps. I usually fill it from the top but I'll try and fill it from the bottom and see if that will do anything. How I wicked it was I just filled the tank with juice and screwed on the bottom with the coil and let it sit for almost 3 hours before I took a hit. I started from 30w and moved up to 60w where I am vaping it now. It was fine for the first day or two but now it's leaking a little bit and I always have to clean it which is annoying. I'm not sure if it's authentic or not I bought it from myfreedomsmokes.com I hope it's not a clone.

MFS is a good outfit , i would bet it's an authentic for sure . I have noticed if you slightly overfill you can have leakage , make sure you don't do that , fill it to 85% when replacing a coil and leave the juice flow closed while the tank sits before using it .

Make sure you manually prime the coil before inserting it into the base also , the Orings are transparent , one should be on each side of the glass tank . They are easy to overlook , one usually sticks to the edge of the glass tank .

Mine doesn't leak but it weeps a little around the air flow ring. Doesn't matter how I fill it, since I got it, it weeps. But it can sit for days without use and the weeping is minimal. I think it's normal with the Crown. Weeping is normal with a lot of tanks and something you learn to accept and love with.

If it's leaking worse than general weeping then take the advice above and check your orings.
