lots of leaky hardware. am I doing something wrong??

[Gcook]

So, my setup is a Volt X2 battery with a volt x2 clearomizer and a kanger t3 clearomizer. the kanger t3 leaked right away after a little bit of using it. After reading reviews and such about it I just figured that I had a dud. the volt branded clearomizer wasn't leaky at all for the couple days that I've been using it until about half an hour ago when i got a nasty amount of juice right in my mouth. I probably shouldn't have been vaping upside down in my bed. It would be nice to just be able to vape hassle free though. Should i try my luck on a new t3? i enjoyed the t3 while I was using it but I really don't want the disappointment of another bad unit . Any advice here is greatly appreciated.

Make sure the coil head is tight. Loose coil heads cause leaks. Shouldn't make a bit of difference if you are vaping upside down.

After you fill your clearomizer, put a tissue against the end and blow into the mouthpiece. Sometimes, when filling you might accidentally get some juice into the middle tube.

I made sure the coil head was pretty darn tight. It was leaking out of the mouthpiece and down also the outside of the clearo was wet as well. Could I just get a new head or will that not fix the leak issue?

I have found that bottom filler clearomizers have a much greater tendency to leak versus the top fillers...and many times mouthfuls of juice occur and gurgling, when U allow the liquid level to get too low...

Sounds like you overfilled it. I use Halo Triton tanks, which are basically the same and have yet to have a leak, with over 40 tanks.

Oh, I just realized the T3s are bottom coils. Bottom coils tend to leak; stick with the Volt X2s.

Thanks everyone. I'm just a few days into vaping and the help is awesome. does it matter how i store a filled clearomizer? i have a case to carry them in but they can be upside down or sideways at times. I don't know if this matters or not when the clearomizer is not on the device.

Most Bcc such as T3 are Such similer devices but different looks are as follows : MT4, EVOD, T32, T3, T3s, T4, X6S , REM, V2 , KWX6 , X9 Protank, Protank 2, Protankmini, KWX5, etc. There is reason for this design keeps repeating. It's just too good.

Save for the different height of center tube on top of the coil. They are all interchangeable. I find my EVOD's do not leak at all even using them upside down in bed. Only some condensation that I need to remove with a rolled up piece of napkin.

I'm sure that you can fix you T3 easily.

I suggest you look at the video and try again. It's easy.

Cheers

I don't have much experience with top fills, but every time I've had leaking with my bottom coils it's been my own damn fault. My first head I lost my wicks when I was cleaning it and didn't notice till I was sucking juice. I've overfiled a few. I've not reassembled the coil correctly after cleaning or tightened it too much/not enough. I think it gets better as you learn... it's only been just shy of 6 weeks and I've not had a problem for a while.

still have the leaking coil issues but its getting better. over tight/under tight is a big factor.
burnd coils giving bad taste.. also my fault.

No issue with how you keep/store them.

With any type of equipments, getting used to them is the key.

First, Test for short and resistant using my multi meter. Clean with hot water before using.

Fill. re-assemble, Making sure of if every thing is assembled correctly. Making sure what needs to be tight is is! and what needs to be not so tight is is also.

Using. I use small pieces of rolled up napkin paper to remove tiny e-liquid from the tank thru the top mouth piece and bottom. Always remove condensation using small pieces of napkin. Don't over fill, Don't let it run too low or it will flood.

Happy vaping.


Cheers

You didn't get that T3 from SI, right? I looked high and low.

The Volt X2 is vGo threaded, not eGo, but an eGo occasionally fit, sometimes with issues... like this.

The T3 is finicky; play with it some more, I'm sure you can find a way to make it work. Try screwing it on loosely.
