I like some of you TFV12 users (and even TFV4-8) were excited when getting your smoke beast tank, but ended up disappointed by leaking tanks. You've searched all over the web looking for the best ways to stop it but nothing worked. Well your in luck! Ive wasted a lot of juice coming up with this full fix, and it has now worked on 3 back to back tanks, not a single leak at all.
I for one initially thought the 10 wires sticking out of the o-ring on my T-12 were the cause of my leaks, and I was convince the ONLY WAY to fix my problem was to start playing with those wires (either by pushing them in, or cutting them so they were behind the bottom red o-ring). I WAS WRONG!!! This fix below worked on a T-12 that was a mess with its wires, it had atleast 10 wires sticking out of my bottom o-ring, and I thought for sure I'd never get it to work.
This fix DOES NOT include messing with the wires on your coil, or being a coil master to figure out, its fairly simple, and if you make it a routine on all new coils, you will never have a leak again in your life!!! Please see below the steps to happiness with your TFV12 tanks;
Steps (assuming your using a brand new coil - skip steps that you've already done):
1) Unscrew all parts and check that everything looks good, and that no damage is done to any o-rings. This part is vital, if your o-rings and seals are damaged, none of the steps below will work.
Now that you have all the parts unscrewed infront of you....
2) Prime your coil - I do this by applying liquid directly to the top of the coil and a drop at each side wick on the coil. This is not the be all to end all ways of priming, and some people dont even prime, but I did it, so I'm including it in my steps.
3) Attach your coil to the top part of your tank securely (WITHOUT THE BASE ATTACHED). This is one of the most important steps!!!
4) Attach the base to the bottom of your coil securely (dont over-tighten as this actually will bend the o-rings in different directions due to too much pressure)
5) Check through the airvents to make sure the bar is sitting nicely and not slanted. This can sometimes happen if the bar is not pushed in well enough when tightening the base on.
6) CLOSE YOUR AIRVENTS, open the top fill cap, and apply your e-liquid to near the top of the glass, then close tightly right away (as an extra precaution, I then place those bands they give you in your box that stay "BEAST KING TF12" around where you open the top cap so I never accidentally nudge it open or anything - it fits perfectly, and looks good too. See my picture below of my 7-color tank with the red band around where you open the fill to get an idea of what im talking about)
7) RIGHT AFTER your top is sealed, flip your tank upside down so the e-liquid rushes to the top of the tank (the side when your drip tip is), then open your airvents (this will push air out instead of wanting to push liquid out when you first open your airvents - This will also start to create your vacuum seal so that your e-liquid doesnt leak).
8) After about 5-10 seconds of the airvents being opened while upside down, flip it back over and let it sit for a MINIMUM OF 10MINS, but i usually do 15 (you can keep the air vents open now). While waiting, every 3mins take about a 2 second dry pull out of the drip tip to suck out any unwanted air (helps along the vacuum effect), and to help make sure your liquid gets pulled through to all your wicks.
9) After your done waiting 10-15mins, attach your tank to your mod. Then set your mod to 50 watts and do 3 pulls (do not take 3 pulls right away, give it 10 seconds or so between each pull). After those 3 pulls, increase the wattage up to 60, take 3 pulls (1 every 10 seconds), then up the wattage to 70. Keep doing this process until you have reached the desired wattage that you will be using this coil on (for my Q4 I vape at 115, T12 I vape at 135 - just preference).
10) YOUR NOW ALL SET. YOUR COIL HAS BEEN PRIMED, TANK VACUUM SEALED, AND YOUR COIL HAS BEEN WORKED IN BY DOING STEP 9. YOU SHOULD NOW NEVER EXPERIENCE ANOTHER LEAK!
These steps have worked on 2x Q4 coils and 1x T12 coil, and not even a the smallest of drop has come out of my airvents now. I feel safe travelling around with them without them being wrapped in a wad of paper towel, and am now actually enjoying my 150$ purchase (3x TFV12 tanks - 1 for each of my 3 favorite juices as I dont like to mix my flavors on the same coil).
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKED FOR YOU! LETS GET THE WORD OUT THERE!
