Plume Veil Leaking

[KermitTheFog]

I have a plume veil clone by EHPro, and no matter what build or wicking method I use, liquid always seems to find its way to leak out the negative air slots. Any suggestions on how to stop this, or should I

Don't over drip. It's a dripper, not a tank. Drip on to the wick and vape. Redrip after a few hits. Drip don't pour.

It's a dripper... the only way to prevent leaking is to not overfill it with juice, and always keep it upright...

Here's a pic of my build for reference if I made any wicking errors please let me know. Current build is 5 wraps 26 gauge parallel on a 1/8 bit

Wicks look fine... maybe center up the coils a little more, but that's just me being nit-picky for airflow reasons...

Your build and wick are fine. You're just over filling it with juice. Juice goes onto the wick. You have no reservoir, so don't overfill.

The neg holes on that thing are super low to the deck and there's almost no lip on the well. I have one too and had to learn how much juice to put in it. Basically, if you see juice in the bottom that isn't on your wick... at all... even just a little... if you tilt it... at all...( you get the idea) the juice will run out the holes. As for centering your coils, that's why there are 3 holes for neg airflow on the cap. you can rotate the cap so the cyclops vents line up with the coil. if you build off to one side.

It's inherent in the design, any juice in the well and it's leaky leaky time. Even if the negative post holes are closed by the AFC, it still happens to me.

it leaks. That's why I got rid of mine

Align the afc to close off the negative post holes. And drop one of the tails of the wick in between the posts to block off the inside.

doesn't that defeat the object of the plume veil which is all about massive airflow?

Compared to any of the current cloud-chasing rdas, the plume veil does not come close. Those negative post holes are so tiny anyway, that you could get a similar vape just using the cyclops openings in front of the coils. This may not be desired by everyone, but can minimize the leaking.

I love my Plume but after about a week I just said screw it and took a toothpick, and broke off the tips in those annoying air holes. Hasn't leaked since and I can fill the juice well completely now.
