New & in need of advice!

[whitmoresydneym]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this whole fourm thing, but have been vaping for awhile now. I've had a king mech mod, sigelei 100w & 150w, eleaf 50w, and so on. Recently I ordered a smok x cube 2 with the tfv4. My friend had gotten it and I loved everything about it so I bad to buy one for myself. Upon getting it I started with the triple coil just so I can get the whole feel for it first and now the juice is leaking out of the air holes badly. Has anyone else had this problem and can give me some advice?

howdy! and welcome!

first thing i would check is to make sure that the o-ring on the bottom of the coil is intact (not cut, pinched or deformed) and make sure you are not over-tightening it - that can deform the o-ring and lead to leaks... i have, overall, had excellent luck with my tfv4 coils, though recently got my first dud - coil seems okay, but the firing pin in bottom seems to spin pretty freely in the gasket and it leaked all over the place - have not had a chance to break it down and swap pins with another coil yet, but that is my initial plan...

Welcome and indeed, heavy leaking usually indicates something either not properly tightened or an o-ring not doing it's job as its supposed to. Take it apart, clean it properly, inspect all to be in good shape and put back together paying attention to tighten all but not overtighten. If you have another coil, give that one a try. Good luck ...

Pretty sure it was the o ring I took everything apart cleaned it all and messed around with it a little and so far no leaks at all thank you guys!
