Tank Tips?

I have been using my eGo-T from Cignot for a week now.

I must say that I absolutely love it, however, I have had a few small issues, and maybe you guys have found solutions, or at least can answer my questions.

How many times have you been able to reuse a tank before it starts to leak? I have found that after using the same tank 5-6 times, that the "seal" loosens up, and small amounts of fluid work their way out around the "needle" and pool in the bottom of the atty, sometimes even making it through into the battery threaded connection area. Is this normal? Have any of you found a way to "reset" the seal so it holds tight again, or do I just need to start stocking up on new tanks?

I always orient the tank so that it goes on the same way each time, exactly as the first time.


Second, I noticed on one of my atty's that the wicking inside the needle was sticking up above the rim a little, while the other one's wick is flat and flush with the bottom edge of the slanted "needle". Which one is correct, and should I attempt to "fix" the other one to match?

This might help on the second issue, I havent had too much leaking on mine, just a little when I take it out.

So, by watching that video, as long as it's wicking properly, which it is, there's no point in poking it down. That's one question answered.
