So, I've been on this thread before awhile back. Decided I need to come visit more often since I so love my TGT.
I do have an issue that is new that I'm hoping someone can figure out for me.
I've had my TGT (authentic, if that makes a difference) for several months now (3-4) and it has performed beautifully every time. No issues. Well, today it has decided that when I screw my tank on, right when its -almost- completely screwed down to the base, it twists my 'chamber' (For lack of better word. The part that moved up and down containing the deck inside.), which results in my wick getting pulled in or wicking issues in general.
I've tried drying juice off of the O-rings at the base of the chamber-sleeve, lubing up the Oring on the 'stem' that connects to the top cap, and checking to make sure everyting was where it was meant to be.
So, I'm stumped. What says you, TGT Clan? lol
I've had this problem too, and I'm not stupid, nor are you. I have found that this does happen with tanks in use, where it never happened before. I use the mini tank, the standard steel/plastic tank, the clear tank, etc. I like the clear on the bottom the best because I can carefully watch to see if my wicks are catching (friction) on the sides of the tank, which will strip the wick into the chamber every time. Also, I first watch to make sure my chimney threads properly into the top of the chamber where the tube meets the chimney. I've seen the tube push the chamber down many times, so I watch for it now, and just correct it before inverting the tank, or rather, righting the tank.
The first reason for the chamber twist is that the wicks are too long. Easy fix. However, that's not the only time this happens. Sometimes when the o-ring is too dry, I'll see the chamber twist. Sometimes, it seems like the tube is too dry and hangs up on the O-rings, and then I've seen the chamber turn/twist. For these reasons, I now use a clear long and clear mini tank and just watch for the low chamber, the pushed chamber, and the twisted chamber. Those will all cause leaking after a few vapes. If it happened every time, or just with certain tanks, perhaps I could tell you why it happens definitively. It's hit or miss, mostly miss, but it does happen, and usually when I get behind the wheel to drive, it seems, when I'm least able to fix the problem, or even wipe the da** thing off.
I don't know if this helps at all, but rest assured, you are not alone! Best.
