leaking VIP

[klondike]

I have VIP proton tank starter kit. I love vaping but I have a problem with leaking clearomisers. I understand that it is due to incorrectly/over filling it but what can I do to cure it. They are fairly expensive to replace so I'd appreciate any advice on what to do both to avoid the problem and sort it out when it happens

thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

As long as you are not pouring eliquid down the center of your tank, sounds like you are experiencing a flooded atomizer. Take your tank off the battery and blow through the mouthpiece (with a paper towel under it). This will drain the extra eliquid.

When you inhale, take a long smooth draw vs a short sharp draw. This will prevent extra eliquid from being pulled into your coils and flooding it. Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette

Whenever you first sense that your atomizer is beginning to flood try this:
1. Open up the airflow so when you take a hit you are not pulling in as much juice into your coils (if your tank has airflow control) .
2. Raise your voltage or wattage if your battery allows you to do this. This will vaporize more eliquid.
3. Tip your battery up (and take a few hits). By tipping it up you will prevent more eliquid from being fed into the coils.

Give one or all of these a try.

Welcome Klondike.

I used to live in your area.... good memories.

Now, VIP.

VIP sell an old tech clearomiser with their 'photon kit'. They sell you 2 for £9.99. You can buy FIVE for that money, no problem at all.
Everything about VIP is money first, customer second. I am not surprised they leak, they were outdated 2 years ago and nearly all of these products caused problems for users. It is highly unlikely you are filling them wrong, it's quite obvious to the user.

I need to go away and now establish if you use other, better, cheaper products... VIP claim you cannot use their product with other makes, I suspect this is more of their marketing nonsense.

Good old VIP... I bought some of their liquid in an emergency the other day. They say that their flavours are the #1 and you shouldn't even use other brands.... which is the most silly piece of scaremongering I have heard in years. They are part of ECITA and are effectively telling you not to trust other members of ECITA.... just silly.

OK, I accessed old details on the photon battery, and I am 95% sure it has both eGO and 510 threads.

Small thread on the inside, wide thread on the outside. (Somebody on here has a photo/diagram, usually)

Have a look here, see if anything takes your eye.

Here's a picture of the ego and 510 threading
