OH GOD Its leaking... TFV4 Tank

[cfsgarcia]

Hey,

I just got myself a smok TFV4 tank and I tried using it with the SMOK TF-R2 RBA with it, for the first 20-30mins everything seemed ok and then.... BOOM... Leakage everywhere, in just minutes the 5ml tank was almost empty

What can I do to stop the leakage?

Thank you for the help guys.

Regards,
C.Garcia

Just guessing, you have a wick problem.

 

[cfsgarcia]

That was my first guess, will give it another try and check the O-Rings

 

[Clark Kent]

If it is not the wicking check the top thin O-ring, the one that the upper part of the glass seals, that was the culprit in mine. seems like it was a bit to big and got crimped up to were the glass would not seat properly.

I think the O-Ring is too big actually, I've had a problem when putting everything together, the my mod will always tell me "Check Atomizer", but when I get everything out and screw only the bottom part without the glass and top I don't get that message.

Less than adequate seal in chimney oring/chimney slightly too long?, they need to use bigger orings/watch their tolerances.

You can try the screw the deck into the chimney, and then the lower section onto the deck, but even that trick requires a balancing act, as if you screw the deck onto the chimney too snug (over snug), you'll screw the lower section onto the deck, put the tank on your mod and get "no atomiser" because the the deck isnt making enough 510 contact.

Ive been there, i feel your pain

I own a TFV4 Mini

You'll figure out the balancing act, it took a few goes.

Once you get it sorted its a great tank.

Not as bad, by any means, as my most hated tank of all time for leaks, the STM

Hey, thanks, that actually worked, also changed the O-Rings and so far no sign of leaks

Again, thanks for the help guys.

Glad to hear you got it working

Mine started to leak as well, i believe this was due to a very small chip on the bottom on my glass tank, So small you would think its nothing and i decided to change glass after that no leaks since,

No idea how i got that chip in the first place, my guess is due to screwing it back on?
