New eroller leaking

[Sqhertz1]

Got my eroll kit from rocky Mountain vapor and love it so far. I'm getting over the initial harshness from switching to an actual vapor from a blu. I have noticed that it starts to leak between the cone and clearo after a while. I thought it was because I had it in my pocket for a entire work day and being shuffled around caused it but even when I just have it laying there, it will start to leak. I've refilled it per instructions and try to get the air away from the spike by doing the flick technique but I still have leaks even with new clearomizers. The ones I received are the older ones with the tabs on the refill end but I'm not sure if that's the problem.
Can anyone school me on how to make this thing leak free?


Off topic, I had a link to a basic how to clean eroll atomizer thread, but lost it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

1. You might try a bit thicker juice.

2. Always keep the eRoll in the PCC (provided you have the model with the grooves - they really do work)

3. I always wipe the tank and the tank side of the cone every time I switch tanks.

Hope this helps!

Get the Ovale tanks. They dont have the tabs on them and fit a lot tighter. I had the same issues until I bought the new tanks.

Thanks guys. I'll try those ovale tanks and get some thicker juice on my next order.

Does it have anything to do with it shuffling around in my pocket?

I've been keeping a small napkin and wiping down whenever I notice the leaks and when changing tanks.

After I got thise tanks from Ovale, I keep my eroll in the pcc in my pocket all day with no leaks whats so ever.

I always have an eRoll in the pcc and at least one in my hand, pocket, or bag. Mine don't leak, but do need the cone wiped out every few refills.

I haven't had good luck carrying the eRoll in my pocket without the PCC. It seems like the fabric wicks the juice out of it, where the PCC with the slots does not.

I know I recommended thicker juice, but I should also caution that too thick of a juice won't wick properly. All my attys have been rewicked with butcher's twine with great success, and when a juice doesn't seem to be wicking properly, I insert a safety pin through the spike next to the wick to create a small channel for juice. I think a paperclip would be too thick here, but a safety pin generally improves wicking of thicker liquids.

What's the highest vg ratio I can safely go with? Would something 80/20 vg/pg be too thick?

Still haven't figured out how to clean those attys, so rewicking won't come for a little while although I would really like to try it.

I'm still very new to this so please excuse my noobish questions!

I find that I like at least 65pg in my eRoll, but that is not the case for everyone. Some people have no problem using 100%vg with the eRoll. So just experiment and see what works for you.

I have noticed something regarding leaking that I've not yet seen mentioned. There is a tiny white "o ring" on the filler cap end (at least on the tanks that have the tabs). I've used my eRoll to basically test flavors before so instead of transferring the juice into a needle tip bottle, I'll simply remove the filler end cap and use the regular bottle.

I noticed after that after a while of doing this with about 3 or 4 different tanks, a couple of them would start leaking. It took me a long time to figure out why, but then I noticed that this tiny white o ring must have come off of the caps when I was removing them from the tank. Once I noticed that a couple of them were missing the o rings, I did a little experimentation and sure enough. Those that were missing the o rings were the ones that were leaking. Not a lot of juice, but enough to be a little messy.

I'm starting to thing it's the tanks as well. I noticed the original rings were twisted in the end cap and couldn't get them to sit right resulting in leakage. I still have the same problem with newish tanks but I think that may be from air or something else. I'm probably going to new those new tanks soon and see if that will help.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
