new member with leak problem GS air

[mjrshark]

Am new to Ecig Forum and new to vaping since i quit smokin for 3 months now

anyway , I use Itaste vv4 and my pain is in leakin ......

bought it 1st with aspire BDC atomizer and leakin up and down

switched to vivi nova mini and get leaks from mouth piece and sometimes from down

Now i use Eleaf gs air dual coil and i get juice under drip tip , if i shake it nothing will leak , but after few pulls i get some juice in my mouth or under drip tip , so if i fill it , i vape half and the other half leaked.

all are authentic

Welcome aboard
Too little airflow can cause juice to be drawn into the drip tip cavity of a tank - adjust the AFC control for more airflow
Too little power applied can also produce the same symptoms as too little airflow - adjust your vv for higher voltage/wattage

I concur with Ebates. Opening the airflow and turning the power up (within comfort limits of course, you're supposed to enjoy this) can burn off more of the juice and prevent leaks. Also, do you know the PG/VG ratio of your juice? I find thicker juice (higher VG) leaks less. For example, all my 80% VG or more juice goes in my mini nautilus, because I can run that at higher power levels than my kanger stuff and aspire stuff tends to leak especially with thinner juice. At least for me.

air flow at high , same thing with high volt/watt like 5 volt or 15 watt ..... pg/vg are 50/50.

when i replaced coil and prime it , i toke small puff without firing , its like drinkin juice with straw.

Might try asking over in this thread, Eleaf GS Air Fan | Page 385 | E-Cigarette Forum, almost sure someone can solve your problem.

Out of the three atomizers (tanks/clearos) you have, I would expect the GS to be the least troublesome.
How soon do the leaks come? Does it happen on a new coil?

 

[Cheechako]

This type of leaking from all three clearomizers indicates operator error and not equipment failure...very puzzling.
Are all your connections that screw together tight? You don't have to force them, but you want a good seal.

 

[Kivrin]

Are you sure you aren't getting juice in the air tube when you fill the Air? There's a little shelf there that I often need to dab with a paper towel before reassembling.

And/or could it be condensation and not leaking?

Good luck and welcome to ecf!

When it it leaks I put towel in center tube to soak all liquid and after few pull it all there again, just went back to BDC since i wanna try another flavor that i know it will stuck in it and looks it working fine now dont know what changed lol , just the air flow sucks not the same as gs air 4 sure

Yes all screw tight

 

[Cheechako]

Another factor might be at play is how hard do you draw when you take a puff?
I can recreate this kind of flooding by drawing too hard when vaping.

We have had lots of very detailed discussions of possible causes of leakage, which is rare, in the GS Air Fan thread linked earlier. I'll mention just three, which may or may not apply to your situation.

• Condensation- I am in a cool climate, and condensate accumulates over night. This doesn't seem to be your issue.
• Age of coil. These coils seem to last forever, but after a couple of weeks the liner and/or wick becomes saturated, and they gurgle and sometimes I get juice coming up the tank air tube. Two solutions: Mine is to change to a new coil, while Cheechako rebuilds. Both work well.
• This last one results from causes unknown, but, luckily, has an easy fix. Some coils, both new and well used, don't seem to form a good seal with the airtube in the tank. Juice gets in the tube, and is sucked up with the vapor. To remedy this, take the plastic washer off the very top of a dead coil—or a good one, doesn't matter—and place it over the washer of the coil you are using. You will now have two washers surrounding the tiny coil chimney. This stops leaking.

Repeat: This stops leaking. I tried it yesterday on a coil that was in perfectly good, new condition, but leaked. Now it doesn't leak.

P.S. Once in a blue moon the washer falls off a new coil while I'm installing it in the base, or
one comes off when I remove the base to fill a tank. Then I either get a "no atomizer" reading, or juice coming up the airtube. Solution: look on my desk, find the washer, put it back onto the coil.

Guess I'll try last one , since I've tried all above , cleaning coil or replace it , so double washer may do trick , Thanks
