Smok VCT leaking

[ChelsB]

Wondering if anyone else is using this tank? I really loved it when I first got it but suddenly I'm having major leaking problems and problems getting the threading to catch. I haven't dropped the tank or damaged it in any way. It used to screw in nice and tight. Now I can get it almost tight enough and then it goes back to being unscrewed, as though I hadn't just been screwing it in. I'm having trouble describing exactly what's going on, but I hope I've explained my issue adequately [emoji4]

Sounds like stripped or crossed threads. You get it almost tight then pop - it's loose again? Don't think there's anything ya can do for that.

Is that a plastic tank? And I am not sure exactly which part you are screwing in? The base back onto the tank or the tank onto the mod?

If you're desperate, you can possibly cut a gasket/washer from a credit card or something. I don't know if that will affect the chimney and such... GL

Ok, I just looked it up and saw its glass. Do you clean the threads each time you remove the tank from the mod. That is a good practice to get into for any ecig device.

And you are sure its the tank and not the mod? Again, swab the inside of the mods connection base with a q-tip to remove any liquid that may be there and also any soot buildup from just reg use.

That's not the answer I wanted [emoji38]

No, I don't clean the threads each time, but I will now! Thank you, Sugar!

Some may think that is overkill, but I think if you take good care of the equipment, it lasts a lot longer.

Hope I didn't just jinx myself.lol

Yeah some of this stuff that passes for SS in China really ain't much better than plastic for holding an edge. Think knife blade or cap threads same diff. Had a Squape clone that the threads we're buttery smooth then all of a sudden one day they weren't. Landed in the trash shortly thereafter.

But this wasn't a clone. Am I delusional in thinking it should be better quality?

Seriously? I think buying any of this stuff is a crap shoot. Which is why I rarely do buy unless I stumble across insanely good clearance deals on proven devices. I win much more stuff than I buy. Usually don't win stuff I actually would use but Pif it or trade it for something I actually want.

I guess I'm just naive!
I have yet to win something, but I think you need to be well-known around here in order to really have a chance at winning. Most if not all contests here require someone to tag you in the post. But I digress...thanks for your comments![emoji4]

May be some truth to that. I am a member of a sorta clan or family here we always tag each other. But Trolls kinda sent us underground. Thought a couple times of tagging you but humans are funny creatures ya know? Never know how different ones might respond.

If you 'watch' this thread you'll get usually get an alert for new contests. If you're interested.
