T3S Leaking...From The Top?

[pinkythereddog]

I love my T3S. It produces amazing vapor from my rebuilt coils and cotton wicking.

But i've started to notice that it's constantly leaking. I've tried recoiling, rewicking, etc...everything and it just keeps gurgling and leaking on my battery. Then I noticed when I had it upside down to fill it, that some of the juice started to come out of the mouthpiece! Not like a constant flow, but definitely dripping a little.

I should toss it and get a new one right? That's what is probably causing my leakage on the bottom?

ALL t3s leak from the drip tip when you are holding them upside down to refill. i just hold my finger under the tip to plug it while reflling

as for leaking from the bottom, this is simply one of the tradeoffs of the T3S. i dont know how to fix that. strangely enough, replacing the coil doesnt seem to fix the leaking for me at this point, ive chalked it up to the T3S being extremely sensitive and not reliable in the long run

Not true in my experience. The couple of drops you get from the mouth piece when you invert it to top up the juice comes from condensation and juice that was already in the centre tube. Blow thru the centre tube from the bottom (where you fill the juice), wipe off the juice from the mouth piece. It should be bone dry now, no matter how long you leave it inverted.

Leaks from the bottom are caused by gaps where the main wick and flavour wicks are. For me, I find the combination of cotton as main wick and ekowool or butchers twine for flavour wick solves any bottom leaking issues. Hence, when I invert to top up, the centre tube is juice free. No juice will flow out of the mouth piece.

It may take some time to find the right wicking material, thickness, etc for your juice and your style of vaping(draw strength).
