New Mage Leaking Issue

[GoBigGuy]

Hi All,

Just picked up the Mage rta today and I'm having leaking issues big time and not sure why. Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

[GoBigGuy]

thinking I had my cotton in to tight so re-wicked it with a little less

Fingers crossed

Nope, leaking through the air vents still

Any ideas why?

Gotta make sure the wicking holes are totally covered otherwise it'll leak. Also when you fill it make sure the airflow is closed and your top is totally sealed on. Also ensure everything is snug. I had it leak once but that was becasue my top wasn't totally on. May be best to check out some reviews to ensure you're wicking it right.

Just my 2 cents.....CHECK YOUR BUBBLES! I've had endless leaking issues on mine. The first build went great, after that, I must've wasted about 20ml of juice on this damn thing. I put in an unbelievable amount of cotton, and still it was leaking I was on the verge of returning it, but I'm a problem solver, and it was driving me nuts. So I put in some thick juice, possibly 90/10. And then I noticed it..bubbles coming from the bottom and top of the chimney. Replaced the o-rings....but still it leaked. I then used some other o-rings I had (not sure from which RDA/RTA), and BAM!! problem solved.

In case you're wondering, yes it is an authentic Mage...so not sure why I had the o-rings issue.

The Mage o rings suck. I changed out the clears for colored ones so I could tell the two I own apart. It began to leak through the air holes. Slowly. Then changed back to the clear o rings and problem solved. I did not change the wicking. It did appear that the red o rings were somewhat flimsy. The Mage has one of the worst build/manufacturing QC in the business IMO. In addition to this I broke my first tank trying to take the thing apart for the first time. The second one has horrible threads on the chimney.

I took spare o rings and put them everywhere they fit on top of the ones that were there. No leaks.
