Leaking MAP tank

[Stownz]

I really like this thing, but it leaks all over the place since I got it. I've taken it apart to clean the O-rings, then it acts like it is fixed. Sit it on my desk, and next morning I got a puddle again 8( Anyone know a different O-ring size or anything that can fix this?

is it leaking from the center connection post?

Mine does too. You can't lay it down. Keep it in the upright position and it should be fine. I'm going to see if I can't come up with a fix so I don't have to worry about it. I've vaped about a third of a tank and lost two.

I've had that problem, but much less than what you all indicate. I normally do store it upright though.

It appears that the juice will seep into the cup and down the breather tube if it is over half full and laid flat for a period of time. I was able to lessen this by putting the silicone ring in through the top of the DT tube and seating it properly from there rather than seating it on the cup and pushing it in from the bottom. Not a solution, but maybe it will help.

good luck!

Its leaking around the o-rings on the delrin caps.

Stownz... never had that problem. I've only heard of that if there's a crack in the tank wall. Is it the top and bottom or just one?

With the o-ring seated and the grommets seated down to the lip it almost sounds like the o-ring is too small or the caps were turned too small. Got me there!

Have you contacted Bruce?

 

[doots]

I havent had any leaks at all on mine either. knock on wood..

 

[Stownz]

No cracks at all, I'm actually impressed with how thick the tube is. If i twist the caps a little, after a good cleaning, they stay sealed for the most part. Problem is temperature changes I think. Its when I leave it over night that I come back to a puddle. I can't get Bruce to answer any emails, not even the note I added to my order a couple of days ago. So the search begins for some new O-rings. Thought surely someone else would have run into this by now, maybe I just had bad luck.

let us know if you find new orings and the size if possible. Sounds like that might fix the issue. good luck!

Stownz,
I am here for you. Please send me a pm and we will get your tank going right.
I am sorry for the delay, I am shipping.

 

[Big Hitter]

Never leaked a drop from mine .... so I know they can hold juice. Hope you get it fixed up.

 

[Stownz]

I'm sure Bruce will fix me up.

 

[throbinskin]

Sorry the hear about that Stownz..... I have three Maps and not one has leaked on me at all!

 

[Stownz]

It might be jealousy also as a contributing factor. I ordered one of the ego tanks at the same time. What a complete waste of cash... maybe my MAP got jealous while i was testing this thing out?

I got map-tank, E2s, clears and every one of them have leaked. Orings you can get an assortment of them in different sizes for a couple bucks but I give up on them. I can hold mine on it's side and watch the juice leak out. Not dissing Bruce. He's a great guy and a great vendor. I just have better luck with the cartos I use.

Knock on wood here. Vaped over half down, day three. Only thing I find is that after it sits for a while, like overnight etc I have to unscrew it from my bat and blow it out just a fuzz. Kinda like when you overfill a carto or atty. I can live with that. Haven't had to take it apart or anything yet and my hope is that I won't have to do that but every three weeks.

 

[Stownz]

yep, as expected, Bruce sent me some new orings, its all fixed now !

 

[Bigbuyer]

Great! Enjoy your tank!

Have the same problem with one of mine. Can NOT put it on its side. I tried Bruce's suggestion last night of pushing up on the battery connection more, but now i get dry hits, and smoke goes back into the tank and floats on the top of the juice. I think I will need to take it apart and try to reseat it again.

On the other tank, the whole top is rather loose. Even lightly moving or pulling on the drip will take the entire top Delrin structure out or spin in around. Would o-rings help with the second problem?

using mine for 2hours now, tried leaving it on its side for 10min and holding it upside down.. No leaks.. Must be the o rings or smth.. If i ever get leakage I'll report it here.
