yes when i take out the battery i can clearly see it has leaked into the battery headDoesn't make sense that it would leak while attached to one battery and not leak when attached to another.
Where, exactly, is it leaking from? Is it leaking into the 510 battery connector?
Check to make sure the coil head is in there tight. And make sure the tank is together snugly. Sometimes when you take the tank off it gets loosened. Same thing when you refill the tank. I have several tanks where the coil gets loose when filling. Hopr this helps.
nah thats not it i screw it hard eneough it leaks to the battery and air flow exits if i blow in it the liquid leaks outside from the airflow points
i have been having this issue for weeks now if i was screwing too hard i would know believe me
thanks for the info, i want to say that im not over filling or damaging the coil in anyway, im not screwing it too hard either. When i first bought this atomizer and battery it worked great for 1-2 hours then all of a sudden it started leaking and its been leaking ever since. Im using a liqua two apples juice and a sapphire manglomania and sapphire red light juice i dont know how but maybe those juices are just wrong for this atomizer( kanger evod 1 and 2) and also my battery can change its volt from 3.2 to 4.8 and this leaking occurs even on 3.2 i can see drops of liquid inside the tip of my atomizer. and every now and then it will get into my mouth which is really messed up.I'm still unsure about what is happening here.
One possibility is the tank is flooding. This happens when the air chamber becomes flooded with e-liquid and has no where to go except up into your mouth when you vape, or drips down onto the battery because of gravity.
Flooding is common with new vapers, because they draw from their e-cigarette like they did from their tobacco cigarettes. Vaping requires a different draw technique: a slow, gentle, longer draw. Pulling too hard on an e-cig can cause flooding of the coil (leaking, gurgling, juice in mouth or on battery).
So what causes "flooding"?
"Flooding" is a common occurrence in e-cigarettes. The definition of flooding is getting juice into the air passage of the tank. This can include any point between the mouth piece and the very bottom part that connects to the battery. Each tank has holes in that air passage, where the wicks passthrough. This is required for the device to work properly. Unfortunately, this opens up the possibility for flooding. The trick with flooding, is knowing how to avoid it. I’ll explain a little more, but a few common causes for flooding a tank include: improper filling, over filling, pulling too hard when hitting the device, and the temperature can even play a role and/or damage.
"Dry" or "burnt" hits are also a common occurrence in e-cigarettes. This happens when an inadequate quantity of e-liquid reaches the coil. This can occur from using an e-liquid which is too thick for a tank, intake holes for the e-liquid being inadequate, or using a bad wick or coil. Doing "primer puffs", which is taking a puff or two without power on, may eliminate this phenomenon.
Before I get into the explanation, let me explain how an e-cig works a little more in depth. Nearly every tank has a wick that is used to absorb the juice in the tank. This wick cuts through the air passage. Typically, the wicks look like strings hanging in the tank, but some have smaller wicks located at the bottom of the tank and the ‘strings’ are not visible unless the tank is disassembled. Each wick has a piece of wire that wraps around it in a coil. When you activate the button on the battery, you send electricity through the wire. As the wire heats up, it vaporizes the juice that is in the wick.
Improper Filling: When filling your tank, you have to be careful not to get juice into the center tube of the tank. This center tube is the air passage. When you take a draw, air comes from the bottom of the tank, through the air passage and into your mouth. If you get juice into this passage way, your tank is flooded.
Over Filling: If you over fill a tank (specifically a top coil like the ones that come with the starter kits and gift boxes), the wicks can become over saturated and just like a rain cloud, they will leak into the air passage. Once this happens, you have a flooded tank.
Pulling Too Hard: As I mentioned the wicks absorb the juice in the tank. As you pull on the device, you cause a vacuum effect that pulls juice into the wicks. If you pull too hard, you can pull in more juice then the coil can vaporize. If this happens, the juice leaks into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.
Temperature: E-Juice is a viscous liquid. Which means that as it warms up, it will thin out. And in the opposite form, it will thicken when it gets cold. When it thins, it is more difficult for the wicks to hold back the thin juice. This usually causes the wicks to over saturate and, you guessed it, it will leak into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.
Damage: There are o-rings and gaskets used that can wear out with usage. If certain ones fail or get lost, leaking will occur, in turn flooding the air passage and causing you to have a flooded tank. Other than accidentally losing something, damage can occur when its carried in a purse or a pocket or by over tightening the tank to the battery. Over tightening is a very common cause of leaking due to the damage it creates.
and also since you are a veteran may i ask with what amp of output adaptor can i charge an egrip vt 1500mah, this leaking thing really ...... me off for weeks and i almost gave up on these atomizers and probably gonna use an egrip when the shipping company delivers it to me.I'm still unsure about what is happening here.
