Occ coil leak

[Bill K]

When I am using the rba head for my kanger subtank there is absolutely no leakage but when I am using the occ coils it does. I don't know where it is coming from but its not from the air holes. Has anybody else have this issue and what is the cure?

I started off with 2 Subtank Mini's. One worked, and still works perfectly. The other leaked, until I swapped out the o rings. Now I trust them both. I don't know if that is the same issue as what you have but it might not hurt to try. Good luck,

BUMP for answer.

Take a look at the wicking inside the occ. If the wicking isn't making contact with the inside walls all around or is pushed in in the center of the wicking hole, it'll leak. I'd make sure you're tightening them down more too. The occ has to be a bit tighter than the rba.

yep what yuseffuhler said. I've had a few come out of the pkg that way... and a few more that I did it myself poking a needle through the wick and unintentionally pushing the cotton away from the inside wall.

also had one that I think just didn't have enough cotton in it and it leaked and flooded... I have had the worst luck with these occ coils... hopefully this streak is near it's end lol
