Smoktech RBC Airflow Tube Leak

[Eseris]

Hey guys. I've been vaping for about a month and a half now, and have been running into a problem with my smok RBC. As I vape, I seem to have the liquid creeping up the sides of my atty's top post, essentially between the atty and the airflow tube. I've checked how tight I've screwed on the atty, and have adjust numerous times, trying to figure it out. The rubber ring that slips over the top of the atty should be preventing this kind of thing, I know, but it just doesn't work. I'm on my 4th atty, and have tried different tanks, but seem to be getting the same problem. I've even tried putting a second rubber ring on, upside down, to try sealing it better, but even that doesn't help. Anybody else have this problems, or does anybody know how to fix it? After a while, I wind up having to unscrew my atty so I can blow through the tube to clear out my liquid and dry off the post that slips inside it.

Welcome to the forums, I have a oring in my blog that I have used in my t3s and pro tanks to prevent leaking.

I would recommend upgrading to a evod1 or pro tank 2 mini or something that uses the same coils.

I am having the same problem. They worked fine for the first 2 days then after that leaked like crazy. I opened up the coil and replaced the flavor wicks with cotton. The first time I tried to use a piece about the same size as the flavor wicks but still leaked. The second time I used about double the amount. So far so good. I am also using pretty thick liquid (MT Baker max VG.) I don't think the leaks were due to the silicone cap but rather the coils were flooding, then I was sucking the liquid up into the tube. I just replaced my wicks for the second time a couple hours ago. Will update tomorrow and let you know if it worked for more than a couple hours

Update: I did this with 3 separate tanks. One of them I got just perfect. One still leaks but only a little and the other I think I got too much cotton in because the draw has become very tight on it. Tearing apart cotton balls to make wicks is not an exact science I plan on redoing the wicks in the other two tanks to see if I can replicate the one that is working perfectly. Good luck and I hope this helps!
