Kanger T2 Leak - How?

[soulstar]

Specifically, past few days I've noticed all my T2s have been leaking in to the battery contact on my Twist. I THINK this may have to be related to me switching to a 80PG/20VG juice. It doesn't seem to affect the vaping and flavoring much but it does get annoying since 100% of the time I check, theres always some small size of a leak.

Are the wicks just not holding the juice well enough by the coils and just drips down to the center post? I have 3 different T2s and all fairly newer heads (about a week old). Still have some replacement heads but the current ones still vape okay.

Any way I can fix this?

everybody that i know that has a kanger has a problem with leaking... dont know why though

Gave up on mine. Leaked every 10th vape.

I can sometimes go a few hours on my stardusts without an issue.

Rarely get a leak from my EMDCC

Mine do not leak. I use 100% PG

Let it dry naturally to prevent leaks. I didn't do it and it leaked constantly. Now I let it sit for 1/2 hours and none of them do.

The only time I had a leaking problem was when I forgot to check that my coil was snug before I filled it.

All of mine also leaked. Best trick is to throw them in the garbage.
It is less of a headache to fiddle around with.
Unfortunately, when I first bought one I loved it out of the box & immediately bought 5 more with 5 packs of heads.
Now, after the first fill they all leak out of the center post.
Went back to my DC echo carts & LR boges.

I get leaks down the center tube only every now and then. Just get the gurgles and performance drops. Can't seem to find a consistent issue and tryign to pin it down.
It seems to happen when overfilled it, head not on tight, laid down flat, needs cleaning. Also seems to happen some wehn I use more heavy PG and or dark rich juice or get it hot (90deg plus in Florida). Sometimes I think it could be a little condensate?

All in all its tolerable for now and the T2 probably has the best mix of flavor and convenience in anything I've tried.

I just got my first one yesterday and I love this thing. It hits really well on even a standard battery and has an option for aluminum tip. I'm giving this one a trial run for a week or so and then ordering more asap. I've vaped 2 tanks in it thus far without any problems. Time will tell....
I hear the newer ones dont have the leaking issues so we will see. I'm looking forward to making my own cotton wick for it.

I had given up on the T2's but am going to try again with a new head. if this doesn't work the last one will go in the garbage.

I just had one of my T2's crap out totally. The coil is good. It might be where the battery connects to it. I think the center piece is losing its contact. It spins easily.

The center pin is wired to the top coil. If it spins the wire could be broken.
The wife had one break on her and it was the batteries fault.
The battery post had a lot of grooves cut into the post from a lot of use and those grooves were catching the bottom pin and slowly turning it which lead to the wire twisting until it broke.
We ditched the battery and she has had zero issues with her newer and less used batts.

Interesting... I will have to do an autopsy on it to verify your diagnosis. Thanks skelly

NP, let us know what you find.

The only time mine ever leak is if I don't clean them. Once the wicks start getting sludged up they leak. Quick rinse and dryburn and they are fine.

My orignal is still going strong. I swap it and the heads out some. Thinking about trying the T3 next hardware order. My wife really liked the T0. I thought the draw was too tight and the flavor a bit too muted for me.

T2 does indeed leak easily. Mine leaked from the coil head threading no matter how tight I put it on.

The wire inside the center post snaps easily because the positive battery connection nub rotates too effortlessly. Rewired mine because of that. But now that I have a Vivi Nova Mini, I don't think I'll ever touch the T2.

 

[skelley]

I would disagree about snaps easily. We have used these over many times and only one wire has broken.
When I opened it, the wire was twisted tighter than I could have done it with two pairs of pliers as there were 4-5 knots in the wire.
It was then that I noticed all the deep cut grooves in the wifes battery post from 9 months of use.
Her battery is a cheap one, but it was her favorite and she used it daily. She also changes devices a lot during the day which combined with the lower battery quality would account for the grooves in my opinion.

I'm glad you like your nova mini as we hated ours. They vape about as well as a wet sock.
They deliver the same style of vape as the ego clearomizer (aka stardust) as they wick the thinner parts of the juice faster and leave the heavier particulates for the end, but that is another topic all together.

I dropped my first one while it was attached to the battery. It landed on the tip and the top separated from the tank.
I was able to snap it back on, but it needs glued together as it pops off easily now.
It still works, but it's in the spare parts bin as I have many new unopened ones laying around

I recent placed another order with electosmoke.com ( Renee is a pleasure to do business with!) and asked a few questions before my recent purchase...I was ordering a few different style tanks and clearos and this was her reply to me: "I really am partial to the T2 Tanks. They hold more E-liquid and the coil head is cheaper the CE5 coil heads. I think the taste in the T2 Tanks are better also."

I have yet to try one...as my other clearo are CE5...but I'm hoping not to have these leaking issues!

I made a huge mistake by using a LR clearo on a twist with the voltage up...NOT GOOD! LOL
