Sigelei 150W - Juice leaking internally

[ddzc]

Hey everyone,

For the past month or so, I've been noticing leakage with in my box mod. When I open it up to replace or charge the batteries, there's juice all over the batteries, terminals, backplate, etc...I have to clean it dry every time I re-use it. I have a TFV4 and the atomizer itself is not leaking at all from the outside . If I remove it from the mod, I see the juice on the base of the atomizer and the mod...so it seems to be coming through the connector.

Has anyone experienced this? I feel that I have to replace everything at this point, the atomizer (unless it can be fixed), the box mod bc so much juice has gotten inside the internals and the batteries itself have marks all over them from the juice.

I'm a little new to the e-cig world and I've only had a couple. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have heard MANY reports of the TFV4's leaking juice into mods even when it looks like there is no apparent leakage. If I were you, I'd try another tank, not another TFV4, but another tank all together and see if you get the same result.
In any case, be safe

Damn, alright cool. Any recommendations for something similar, sub ohm with the top filler? Thanks!

Try the Arctic V8....

Try the Arctic V8....

Does that have an available RBA deck?

No juice in my Sigelei 150W mod, but I wipe off the 510 connector at least 2x a week. I'm sure what I am doing is par for the course. No matter what RDA I put on there, there seems to be some e-liquid that gets on the mod.

Tighten the Center pin on the TFV4 Base.
If there is liquid in the 510 connection, there is liquid in the Tank AFC section and if it is not leaking out the Air openings, it is running down past the center pin.

*The act of Removing the tank from the mod could be loosening the Screw if it was not properly tightened when assembled.

No

I would suggest the herakles plus but that has no rba either but that and the v8 are amazing

Hey everyone. I just got the Arctic V8! I tried many methods to fix my SMOK, but it just wouldn't stop leaking heavily. Also, for the past 3-4 days, I taste a nasty burning taste. I tried cleaning it and changing the coils multiple times and nothing, so I'm done with it.

I have a few qs about the new atomizer

1. Should I clean it before use? If so, what is the recommended method?
2. How should I regularly clean it? I usually just clean it with water and a tissue to get the gunk out of it. Any other methods on how to maintain it so it can last me a while?

Thanks!

Always clean new tanks as there maybe residue in it from production

I always steep in soap and water

Thanks!

The new tank is working pretty good. I like the screw down top fill cap feature. With the TFV4, every time I traveled with it, the top fill would unhook itself in my pocket and leak all over the place!

I still love the smoke output on the tfv4! I can get more smoke at a lower voltage. I'm 100% sure the leakage was coming from the bottom screw down piece because I had it sitting on a tissue overnight and there was juice on the tissue on where it was sitting. I wish I can fix it, it's a great tank and the juice tasted pretty good! Good to have as a backup.

If you own the Arctic I highly recommend the snake coils, hive wire etc

 

[ddzc]

Is that straight swapable or RBA? I still don't have any experience with building my own coils.

The Arctic is a nice atomizer, very well built. It just doesn't output the same as the TFV4. I have to crank my mod at around 90-100W to get the same smoke output as the TFV4 running at 70W.

They are stock coils, I believe this tank to be superior than the tfv4, which coils are you using in the v8?

The original coil which came with the tank.

Check out there stock coil range the hive wire coils are amazing up to 130w the v8 coil is a beast and the snake coils flavour for days

Awesome, I'll order both and give them a try Is ebay the best place to grab them or do you have a recommendation with shipping to Canada?

Thanks!

I just got the snake coils and they're INSANE, love it!

Hi

I've only tried the V8 and hive wire there both amazing

Hope you found a vendor for Canada

I'm in the uk so pretty much swamped with options to buy what we need (for now)
