My 510 is leaky

[LittleMerced]

It's driving me crazy! I don't think I am overfilling but whenever I set the thing down it leaks.

I am using poly fill and I am making sure that the end of the atty and the carts and are pushed tighly together, so I don't know what it could be.

You could have too much poly fill in it. Usually if you fill up a cart right you should be able to turn it upside down and not feel like everything is about to fall/drip out. It's been awhile since I used carts that's just my two cents.

 

[LittleMerced]

hrmmmm, I was wondering if I was using too much polyfil, but I didn't know that could cause it.

Thanks!

Yeah I had the same prob when I was using carts. If you push the cart on the atty and it moves even a lil it usually means too much polyfill. Glad to help.

Hmm Ive always had that problem when using certain attys, (some leak more than others, maybe the variations of the fitting) yet it still happens reguardless of the filling or amount of filling or juice I use.
I have one that leaves little puddles when I put it down, and others than are minimal to no leakage.

 

[LittleMerced]

hey Zelphie, I do have one atty that leaks more than the other, and one I got from TW, the other I can't remember. It drives me crazy for some reason when they leak, I guess I am neurotic

I just can't stand carts I have tried everything and they always leaked. Dripping never gave me that problem as long as I just dripped two or three drops at a time. cartomizers also gave me no problems. I know a lot of people find something that works, but it never worked for me.

Good Luck and Happy vaping!!

lol, Im a little nutty myself but it really is bothersome, personal wackyness aside. I cant figure out why exactly it happens but for the one atty in question, it seems to be an inexact fitting, its not flush with the batt, but that just me and this one atty. The others are hit and miss in this department. It buggs me that I have to drag along with me a paper towel especially when I use that atty. If the amount of filling and juice is good and it the atty and batt fit snuggly when skrewed in, it shouldnt happen but it still does sometimes and it does not make me happy either

trying new flavor and very clean hits= dripping
no hassles= cartos

IMO

 

[Zelphie]

Curious, is it leaking for you at the bottom of the atty , at the bottom of the cart, or maybe the top of the cart?

 

[LittleMerced]

It's mostly leaking where the cart and atty meet, which is why I thought I was overfilling at first, but I'm not

 

[LittleMerced]

maybe it's the carts...they are a bad fit?

 

[Youthful313]

If it doesn't feel secure when you put it on the atty you can squeeze the cart a little so it's more snug.

 

[Zelphie]

Oh I see, my leaking comes from the bottom of the atty so this must be a different problem. It could be as the previous post suggested, maybe its not fitting tight enough.

Ive had carts that dont fit exactly the same on different attys before. What about other carts, do they fit better?

One of my 510s leaks a bit at the bottom of the atty where it screws onto the battery and at the top where the cart goes. This happens mostly when I drip. I only put 2 drops in but it leaks occassionally.

To amen what a few others said-- Problems like that are what converted me to dripping. And a real drip tip with a taut O-ring connection to the atty eliminates that juncture as a leakage source. I might occasionally get a bit of leak (more like condensation) at the battery joint, maybe as a result of dragging too much too long and getting heat buildup? But not too often or too bad.

 

[smokingisbad]

could just drip...GL

I'm curious about the O-ring...........where did you find one that fits on a 510/ego?

Stover, the ones that are part of the Super-T drip tip (at least the delrin version, and I would guess his others, along with anything else designed for the 510 atty) can be replaced with #47 (brand name is Danco) from the plumbing section of a hardware or home supply store. I've had to replace just one I managed to skin up a bit.

Thanks. I use plastic delrin tips. The metal just doesn't suit my taste for some reason. I'll check out home depot or Lowes
