Hello everyone I currently have the geek vape aegis legend 3. And the tank that I'm using I've been using for well over a year and it's starting to leak really bad I tried changing the o-rings I tried everything so I think it's time to get a new tank but I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to these vape setups my friend told me what to buy when I bought this one I would like to be able to still use the geek vape super mesh coils then I'm currently using but it's very clear that I need a new tank I'll add pictures of my setup and if anybody has any suggestions I'd be very thankful

I have had issues with leaking every now and then as well. Sometimes it is the o-ring not seated properly on a new coil, and I didn't notice it. Other times the o-ring looks to be fine. For those times I think it was how I put the juice in and how the top of the tank at the opening responds. I have a Vaaporesso Mod with a smok tv16 tank that will tend to leak every now and then. But then it won't leak for quite a while. Haven't figured it out.

    Welcome to ECF:thumbs:
    I don't have any suggestions regarding your tank, hopefully you'll get some good ones from other members!
    But I strongly suggest that you start learning more about vaping, especially the hardware that you are using. You should be pretty knowledgeable on the subject after well over a year of vaping:thumb:

    Another couple of things I thought of after my post and looking at your pictures again. It's a good idea (if you aren't already) to make sure that you pre-soak the cotton on your coils and put a tiny bit of juice on the o-ring before screwing it into the tank. I have always looked at it like putting in an oil filter in my car. Usually it isn't an issue, but every now and then if you don't the o-ring can bind up just enough to not have a good seal. I have also seen my o-ring twisted up. Even though it is in place it's twisted. So good idea to check it really good. Especially if you are experiencing issues.

    I don't even know where to begin. I bought one vape from out of town then couldn't find the coils so I bought this geekvape and the only issues I've had is accidently buying freebase instead of nic salts.

    Yes I always make sure to prime my coils and once I fill it I don't turn the vape on for at least 10 minutes. I'm definitely going to try putting some of the juice on the o ring. For some reason I thought that dry would have been better but it actually makes total sense as to why you would put juice on the o-ring. Thanks so much
