Liquid leaking from base of 510 Atty

[Love]

I made some mods and purchased battery connectors from madvapes. I am using the Joye510 connector and Atomizers. The E-Cig works great but I find that e-liquid leaks out the vent holes in the bottom of the Atomizer. Is there a way to correct this?

Are you dripping or using a cart?

 

[Love]

It happens either way but of course is much worse when dripping.

The mod itself works better then any e-cig I have ever had but I built it in a small metal tin and every time I open the lid there is liquid all around the lid. (the top of the lid is against the outside of the battery connector that is sealed in the box when the lid is closed.

Might try to use considerably less juice and add more often. By that I mean, use only a little bit more each time you notice the flavor drop off. Always carry a paper towel or something similar, using as needed.

Do you think maybe putting a very thing seal around the lid would help keep the liquid out? IDK I am really useless on this issue. You should have enough posts (maybe?) to post in the modder's section for the leaking of liquid around the lid.

I really would like to see a pic of your mod! I always am so envious of those who have the know-how.

I will have to take a picture. It is a great mod and works well. My only issue is when opening the lid to change the battery there is always liquid around the inside of the lid and I have to wipe it off. I don't know, it just seems to me that the liquid should not run out like that. It seems to me that placing a seal around the lid would make it worse because right now the liquid has a place to run to.

Is there a seal around the atty connector on the inside of the box?

 

[Love]

Yes, there is a seal. The liquid is coming from the vent holes on the outside and the E-Liquid is running under the lid from the outside of the box.

Ahhh, ok. So, have you tried using less juice when refilling or dripping? For instance, I use an lr306 at 3.6 to 3.7 volts and drip exclusively. When refilling, only three drops are applied each time. If any more than that is used, there is that pesky leaking issue. Either way, I always have a paper towel or something similar nearby to wipe up any excess.

I am using this in the same manner as others I have purchased and they didn't have leakage. The problems with the ones I purchased is the switches would go bad, unit would short out, etc., and I was spending a fortune on replacing them and went through a lot of frustration. Other then the leakage, my mod is much better then any I ever purchased. It is reliable and provides a nice hit of vapor. I use the Joye510 LR Atomizers. If you have the problem also, maybe I just am adding too much E-Liquid.

 

[mamacat]

I would try to cut the juice back a bit and see if that helps.

Another thing popped into my mind, too. Is this a new atty? It might be that if you haven't always had this problem, it could be the quality of this particular atty. Ya know, the Chinese aren't all that consistent sometimes. *sigh*

 

[Love]

That sure is true. There is a possibility that is the issue but I have tried from two different vendors. The issue isn't bad enough to make me change anything on this e-cig other then try to rectify that issue. It just would be nice if I didn't have to wipe the liquid out of there from time to time. I have been using the same e-cig for months without any other issues and the good thing is I have spares made.

 

[mamacat]

Nice! I hope that you get it sorted out!!!

Don't forget pics!

Best wishes on your journey.

sounds like overfilling to me also. a little thicker (more vg) might also help.

I think the 510's just leak. I have been using them since June with all the variables-cartridges, dripping, modified carts with straw and spring, with straw mod alone, with spring mod alone. I don't overfill the carts, I drip 1-2 drops at a time when dripping...they leak. I've tightened them snug. I carry mine around my neck on a lanyard and have the spots on my blouses in testimony. I don't know how to fix this either...just commisserating with you. If anyone knows a fix....I am listening too.

I just ordered a Riva 510 kit. I hear that they leak also but that the cone holds it in so it can be cleaned and not ruin my clothes. Time will tell. Anyone who owns a Riva/Ego care to comment with their experiences....or is that thread jacking? If so I can start a new thread.
