EDIT: See second post, with another more successful attempt, as well as an explanation of the problem i was having
Background: So, I have been vaping on and off for quite some time now. I usually buy a new mod now and then, and enjoy it, but usually just alongside my standard camel cigarettes.
I decided recently I need to quit smoking to avoid future health problems.
That brings me to last week. I looked through my collection of e-cigs, each interesting, but flawed in my eyes in one way or another. I checked out the forums to see what new mods or trends are appearing, and stumbled upon the tank mod. Tank mods look awesome, they seem to solve my solution of dripping constantly. I find standard cartidges run out too fast. Cartomizers seem pretty good, but still require refilling to maintain great flavor. I tend to be a dripper, but a couple drops only last 3 or 4 long drags in my 5v favorites, so it seems I just never stop dripping.
The order:
I ordered a black delryn DCT MAP tank, along with three pre punched cartos, some juice, and a new tip.
COV shipped my items quickly, and I was very happy with the packaging and delivery time.
Alright! Time to put this thing together!
At first, I was a bit puzzled as to how to properly fill the tank mod. I actually emailed COV asking if I needed a syringe, alas I had forgotten how to google things at that time. So, a quick search or two later lead me to two videos on youtube of some vapers teaching me how to fill the mod.
It seems quite simple, and it was. I take the endcaps off the clear tube, slide the carto through one of the endcaps, throw a few drops in the carto, attach the tube, fill the tube up, and attach the other end cap. Awesome. Now I am ready to go.
At this point, I had my 5v Kens Boxmod ready to go and snapped a victory picture.
So now to test it out. My first few drags were not that great, because the atomizer was flooded.
No big deal though I thought, it is probably my fault, perhaps I was a bit over zealous with my initial carto wetting. I took another hit or two and realized my hand was wet. I looked down at my boxmod and realized it was covered in ejuice, a quick inspection later I came to found my entire boxmod was covered in caramel tobacco flavored juice. Crap.
So, after cleaning the juice off the entire mod, I went to the sink, cut my losses with the current juice, and washed out the tank.
I cleaned the PV up, and prepared to try once again. Maybe this was a fluke. So I took everything apart, put it back together, and I ended up with a juice coated boxmod again.
I think its time I give up on the tank and ask COV if I can return it.
I love the idea of the tank, but it seemed to be a leaking catastrophe. My PV is juice covered again, my fingers are tingly from all the juice that was on them, and I am left pretty disappointed.
So, has anyone else had a leaky MAP DCT tank? Has anyone come up with any solutions to the leaking or did I just get a bad apple?
