leakage, and a fix ?

[J.R. Bob Dobbs]

so i came home tonight to notice a couple of my stardusts leaking as well as a T3. both were leaking in the same area. If you look underneath theres this part that almost looks like you could put a screw driver in it to tighten it or loosen it. I am assuming that repeated use and the screwing on and off the ego batteries has loosened this part. can i just give it a 1/4 turn or something? if so are these rightey tighty/ lefty loosey or reverse thread ?

turning it doesn't do anything...pushing it in will tighten the draw, pulling it out will increase the air flow.

 

[J.R. Bob Dobbs]

ok but what is causing it to leak from that spot ?

 

[Jadesrayne]

How full were they before you left?

both stardust and t3 have issues leaking when they are running low on juice (1-0.5 ml )

 

[darkhood]

no idea...

 

[Steeler Girl]

Hope you get an answer to this because mine do the same thing.

they were both recently washed and refilled i leave them to sit a while before use. so totally full. the stardust lost about .5ml and the T3 lost over 1ml it was about an hour since i filled them.

Then i don't know hope the thread bounce helped

Has the weather changed recently? Perhaps it went from bright and sunny to rainy? I'd think that if the barometric pressure dropped enough, it would cause low pressure and pull some juice out. If they're ALL leaking, that's all I could think of.

Yeah, that's weird.. normally i d say add a wick, it has fixed all my leaking issues. But that many different pieces leaking All at the same Tim leads to to believe there was a barometric pressure change...
As side from that.. were they all on their sides or something? If so... add a small wick.

how will adding a wick help? once it soaks it wont soak more unless i vape on it. Just sitting it would still leak i believe. No, they have been inside all day. My house has central heat and air(though no air atm due to winter)

Sometimes the wick doesn't fill the slots completely and there will be an ever so slight gap between the wick and silicone cap allowing juice to leak. Adding a wick will fill any gap, and help prevent leaks. However, with too much wick, it slows the wicking and you may get dry/burnt hits,

I sorta have this leaking problem, so should I just keep my t3 filled? I noticed it started leaking a lot when it got down to .5ml.

Mine do too! But I get the leak out of the mouth piece. When my juice is low I get a mouth full.
Why??? Anyone know?

Yeah, I got the same problem. Not just the bottom leaking, but I get a mouth full too.
