Has anyone had a problem with these leaking? Mine continues to leak out of the bottom and i've tried everything to fix it. I'm sure it's something lame i've done or am doing that is causing this nightmare, but I gotta fix it. I have leaked through 30mls of juice in the past 3 days, since I got it. I have changed the o-rings, I changed cartos, I tried a carto with 1 hole and one with 2 holes, I changed voltage, I changed juices, I filled it from the top, I filled it from the bottom, I filled it from the top and turned it upside down when adding the top, I have TRIED everything I can think of and still....it leaks! :(

Any ideas? Since everyone is here patiently waiting, I thought it would be a good time to ask for suggestions.

Which cartomizer are you using....I'm gonna guess and say it's not a Boge. Can you tell where it's leaking. Is it coming through the airhole? Did you blow out the excess juice after you filled it? I've been using 4 of Jon's tanks....all with Boges and not a drop lost. I've read lots of problems leaking with other tank makers....mostly NON-BOGE users. It seems lots of people have trouble with their tanks when they use DC's, Megas...etc..... I've used almost all of the other tank makers products....I always used Boges and never had a leak with those either. So my thinking on this is not that I'm just good at using tanks....I think the carto has a lot to do with it.

I just knocked my Buzz off the table when I went to grab it. It fell like a torpedo and the Jonboy Tank hit the floor first. I watched it fall like it was in slow motion. I thought the whole setup was gonna break. I landed on a Porcelain Tile floor. The fall seemed like it lasted for 5 minutes. Guess what. Not a scratch. I don't believe it. Pure luck as far as I'm concerned. I'm running out to go play the Lotto now.

Where is it leaking from exactly? Is it leaking past the o-rings? You would see juice on the bottom, where the clear tube and bottom cap meet if that's where it's leaking. What brand cartomizer are you using? Is it still the one that I sent it with? What is the pg/vg mix on your juice? I've found that the Ikenvape's will leak through the batt. connector with thin juice. I run BWB juice which is 70/30 and it will run out almost as fast as I can pour it in. I HIGHLY recommend the Boge cartos. I haven't had a any problems with leaking since I changed over to these. PM me if you continue to have problems and we'll get it sorted out.

Glad to see it survived. I've knocked mine on the floor a couple of times now. They're pretty tough little tanks.

Nothing tonight. I'm half-way through the 1st operation. Had a minor set back. I had to pull the spindle motor, and clean the commutator and brushes. It will probably be friday or sometime over the weekend. Taking the kids to the water park for the last summer fling Sat. so I don't think I'll get much done that day. I'm working on them I PROMISE!!!

I don't think it will be today, unless he has changed his plans. They'll be ready when there ready
