Question about "stacks"- plz be gentle :)

[LuckyLulu]

First of all let me be clear, I am a technical idiot, please speak slowly and in simple terms
I am a nurse and could probably save your life, but I can be very dangerous with a screwdriver and all things ohm or volt related do not mean anything to me

Here is my question...
I have 4 "stacks" (2 midi's and 2 rough's) I use one of the midi's pretty consistently and the others are basically spare's. I love them!
I am a dripper and have an LR atty that has been leaking like crazy, not sure why. I am not sure if the juice is able to leak into the connections or not. I want to take it apart and check inside the switch assembly and clean it out if necessary. It works perfect and I want to keep it that way!

Can someone explain to me how to do this and/or if it is even necessary?
Rest assured if this is beyond my capacity, I will have my husband do it
Thank you!!!

As far as the leaking issues go, I might have a few tips for you. Just kind of thinking out loud here:

When you are chain vaping for awhile the atomizer will get very hot, which can cause it to give you a slightly "dry" taste even if the coil is still wet. This usually causes me to add in more drops on a full atomizer and then it begins to leak. You can try letting the atomizer cool off when you get a dry taste then give it a short vape to test and add accordingly.

Another reason it could be leaking is the consistancy of your juice. Thinner liquids can easily go straight through your atomizer and out your threads. Happens to me with madvapes liquids all the time. I also notice that some atomizers are simply more prone to leaking than others, for whatever reason.

Onto my point... the stacks atomizer connectors are sealed so liquids does not get past it, but if you have juice leak down the side it can get into the battery compartment through the threads and eventually into the switch, which would require a quick clean. This has happened to me a number of times. So, if you feel the need to take apart the switch and clean it out there is no reason not to. It will not harm anything and is easy enough to put back together.

I do not own a midi, but for my roughstack all I had to do was get a pair of pliers and unscrew the nut around the button, and you can pull out the mechanism from the other side. Then you can put it back and tighten the nut back up. Easy as pie.

Hope this helps

Thanks Scortched! I had my husband unscrew it and checked inside and amazingly there was no juice in there
It is put back together and working great!

I think you are right as far as the dripping. I think I am overfilling. I tend to drip anytime I lose flavor or get the burnt taste.
It only happens with one of my atty's. I think I will just toss it and use a fresh one.
Thanks so much for the reply!
