If you are looking for tank style i have had awesome luck with the Smok Aro II, its pyrex so no worries about tank cracking juices and they are about 4 bucks a pop, Nautilus is amazing (just watch out as crappy clones are popping up everywhere) or the Kanger Protank 2 with the Aerotank base works great or if you never want to worry about leaks again then go RDA but having to re-drip can be inconvenient.

I just threw out all of my kanger evods because every single one of them leaked no matter what I did (had 5). Any recommendations on a product that doesn't leak all over the place?
I would have been more than happy to take them off your hands. I have 6 that are doing their job. Not my best tanks, but serviceable.

I have 4 EVOD 2's that i use for sampeling flavors until i get in to dripping. Never had a problem with them leaking..yet. Hope i didn't just jinx myself :blink:

A better suggestion would be to try the Evod Glass: that way tank-crackers won't be an issue. Could tank-crackers have contributed to the leaking issue? I haven't had a single leak with an Evod Glass so far.

Never used tank cracking liquids. Both my EVODs and MT3s leaked like crazy. it would flow onto the battery and then out the air holes... No matter what I did. I tried every fix that I could find and just gave up on them.

I've never used an EVOD, but I imagine it is quite similar to a mini protank 2, where the atomizer screws into the base unit that connects to the battery. If this is the case, I have found that the atomizer will unscrew itself somehow if it is not tightened very tight into the base unit, thus causing leaking into the battery. Make sure your atomizer is not unscrewing loose, and make sure everything is sinched up tight on your units before chucking them.

Have checked the coil and the base multiple times... I now have an EVOD2 and can tell you it is much different. With the EVOD if I disconnected from the battery and blew into the mouthpiece, I would get juice flying out of it, the EVOD2 nothing comes out at all.

I filled up the EVODs and put them on a piece of paper towel, without a doubt the papertowel would have stains from the juice under the head. I have some mini vivi novas that I did teh same thing to and nothing was under them.


Throwing out evod's? Now that is just too sad. Lot of people love them and never have issues. I would have tried removing the flavor wick on top. I use to do that to all of mine. After you get into dripping, all atomizers are ruined IMO. Good luck to ya.

Tried removing the flavor wick, rebuilt the coils, replaced it with cotton, Flipped the gasket upside down, put 2 gaskets in (1 upside down and 1 rightside up), ect and they would still leak like crazy. My guess is those people filled them and vaped like crazy until dry and then only refilled when they were ready to vape the entire thing again.

Recomendations? Yes!

Stop throwing out good money. Ask for help with a problem and try the suggestions people make.

Evod Leaking is simple - Drawing to hard. Other factors may come into play, but they are negative pressure design as are ALL Bottom coil tanks and to much suction will cause them to drain(leak)

I have used a dozen different devices people swear leak and guess what - None have leaked for me.
It is all about learning the quirks and adapting to the equipment, not the other way around.
