New member, here with some problems? (Hi!)

[Ryukun]

Hi, im new here my name is Ryukun.
I havent smoked in a year or two, my last set up was a ss vamo v5 with a kangertek aero tank and i would just randomly buy some e juice here and there online.

Last week i wanted to get serious im arround 250 in. I bought a wismec reuleaux rx200 and a aspire clieto tank and a kangertek subtank mini 4ml.
My kangertek subtank mini when i smoke is a living vivid hell. It leaks alot (on outside) and it leaks so bad in the chamber that i can turn the tank upside down and cause liquid flooding out all over from the drip tip.
(Its brand new 1 day old and authentic)
I screw the top off carefully fill it and wipe the extra fluid off the top metal part and screw it together. Im at loss of ends.

My aspire cleito leaks too.
But has not leaked inside like the other one.
My main problem with the clieto is that im on a .2 coil 55-70watts
Im smoking a 49.5 watts and 350F 0.21ohms and 3.24v.
Im not getting decent clouds. The e juice is gone super fast. Crazy fast. And occasionally it will leak all over my wismec.( and it taste really burnt )


( my kangertek aero tank is old i still have it but i have no coils )

I bought brand new this week.
*wismec reuleaux rx200
*3 batterys
* a expensive battery charger
*red long glass drip tip
*red glass for aspire cleito
*aspire cleito
* kangertek subtank mini 4ml
* red silicone skin for wismec reuleaux rx200
* 5coils for kangertek subtank mini 4ml
*5coils for kangertek aero tank
(I think thats it im at 300usd)

Im new again and am having problems with the newer technology of vaping.
I would love help. It gets me so frustrated i need a smoke and thats the problem lol.

(Little update just now)
I put a q tip inside the drip tip hole and alot of juice was on the q tip. I went to smoke and had a huge cloud.
But after i smoke its still getting wet? Or is thst just a q tip touching the wick? Lol
(Aspire cleito)

Now the tank is leaking through vents and the top where you screw to fill the tank

Hello and welcome. Sorry, I have no experience with those tanks. Hopefully someone can help you.

I'm only familiar with the subtank as I have the toptank mini.

Just a few newbie mistakes that all of us will make from time to time

1. Prime your coils - if you haven't done this, always juice up the wicking material (usually cotton) via all holes before you use them. If you skip this step you're going to end up with burnt hits and a trashed coil

2. Make sure everything is in tight. The leaking might be the cause of loose connections with the coil head and the base or the tank itself

3. Check to see if all the o-rings are still there and functioning properly


There are certain materials (coils) that you need to run in either power mode or temperature control mode. I will list the 4 most common ones found in prebuilt coils

1. Kanthal - has to be in power mode (only know of 1 mod that claims they can do TC with this material)
2. Ni200 - has to be in temperature control mode
3. Stainless Steel variation usually SS316 or SS316L - can be either
4. Ti - has to be in temperature control mode


I hope you get your issues resolved soon.

Welcome dear..Not aware about the tank.. I will ask my friend he has lot more knowledge about such tanks..

"Flooding" is a common occurrence in e-cigarettes. The definition of flooding is getting juice into the air passage of the tank. This can include any point between the mouth piece and the very bottom part that connects to the battery. Each tank has holes in that air passage, where the wicks passthrough. This is required for the device to work properly. Unfortunately, this opens up the possibility for flooding. The trick with flooding, is knowing how to avoid it. I’ll explain a little more, but a few common causes for flooding a tank include: improper filling, over filling, pulling too hard when hitting the device, and the temperature can even play a role and/or damage.

"Dry" or "burnt" hits are also a common occurrence in e-cigarettes. This happens when an inadequate quantity of e-liquid reaches the coil. This can occur from using an e-liquid which is too thick for a tank, intake holes for the e-liquid being inadequate, or using a bad wick or coil. Doing "primer puffs", which is taking a puff or two without power on, may eliminate this phenomenon.

Before I get into the explanation, let me explain how an e-cig works a little more in depth. Nearly every tank has a wick that is used to absorb the juice in the tank. This wick cuts through the air passage. Typically, the wicks look like strings hanging in the tank, but some have smaller wicks located at the bottom of the tank and the ‘strings’ are not visible unless the tank is disassembled. Each wick has a piece of wire that wraps around it in a coil. When you activate the button on the battery, you send electricity through the wire. As the wire heats up, it vaporizes the juice that is in the wick.

Improper Filling: When filling your tank, you have to be careful not to get juice into the center tube of the tank. This center tube is the air passage. When you take a draw, air comes from the bottom of the tank, through the air passage and into your mouth. If you get juice into this passage way, your tank is flooded.

Over Filling: If you over fill a tank (specifically a top coil like the ones that come with the starter kits and gift boxes), the wicks can become over saturated and just like a rain cloud, they will leak into the air passage. Once this happens, you have a flooded tank.

Pulling Too Hard: As I mentioned the wicks absorb the juice in the tank. As you pull on the device, you cause a vacuum effect that pulls juice into the wicks. If you pull too hard, you can pull in more juice then the coil can vaporize. If this happens, the juice leaks into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.

Temperature: E-Juice is a viscous liquid. Which means that as it warms up, it will thin out. And in the opposite form, it will thicken when it gets cold. When it thins, it is more difficult for the wicks to hold back the thin juice. This usually causes the wicks to over saturate and, you guessed it, it will leak into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.

Damage: There are o-rings and gaskets used that can wear out with usage. If certain ones fail or get lost, leaking will occur, in turn flooding the air passage and causing you to have a flooded tank. Other than accidentally losing something, damage can occur when its carried in a purse or a pocket or by over tightening the tank to the battery. Over tightening is a very common cause of leaking due to the damage it creates.

Thanks everyone, i have new coils and e juice for my subtank mini.
I have to hit the mailbox but ill see what happens

 

[Ryukun]

Still leaking from drip tip ALOT new ejuice and coil.

 

[Ryukun]

I went on ebay and requested a return for defective item. I followed everything i could right and this is my third coil change for a three day old tank.
Ill run to the store tomorror and see if theres any aero tank coils there.
Im just really upset i spent 70usd on two tanks that do not work

 

[Ryukun]

Shoild i try protank 4? I already have 4 new coils ssocc

 

[Ryukun]

I showed the guy on ebay and the pics of it leaking all over ( the submini ) he gave me a refund. I bought a protank 4 evolved (online) and got some coils for my aero tank(at a store)
The aerotank works like it always has. But it has a warm vape to it. Running a 1.8ohm coil on a 5.69volts.
Does anyone know if i can use my ssocc coils for a protank4 evolved? I think what comes with the protank 4 evolved is ceramic occ coils
