Tesla Stealth Shadow Tank Constantly Leaking!

[ndorling]

Hey guys,

So I have recently bought the Tesla Stealth and I love it but I have a problem with the tank constantly leaking. It has adjustable airflow at the bottom which is where it is leaking. The first time I noticed it, I cleaned it and wiped out all juice that was welling up at the bottom and out the airflow. The second time it leaked I completely pulled apart the tank and coil and wiped up all excess juice including the overflow part at the bottom, also dabbed the coil itself to make sure it wasn't flooded. At first I thought it was because it wasn't always upright so I made sure that it was always upright this time and this fixed it for a while. But then today I looked at it and it was leaking again! As I was cleaning it an entire drop of eliquid dropped out on me and I am at a loss at what else I can do to fix this. It is really frustrating knowing my liquid is being wasted constantly because I can't work out what is going wrong.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Ive had various coils come out of the box missing the o-ring on the bottom where the threads end and the atty flares out and contacts the base, causing leakage. I also had a coil out of the box missing some cotton wick, causing flooding. I recommend to check for the o-ring, and replace the coil to see if that fixes your issue. Once an atty(thats not a rebuild-able) has started "gurgling", Ive never got it to stop and had to replace it. Hope this helps.
