Tobeco Super Tank RTA Leak Problem

[Roseyswine]

Hi, do any of you guys have this tank? It leaks as soon as i fill the damn thing. And by leaking I mean it pours out the air holes on the bottom of the tank. I assume Im doing something wrong. This tank did not come with any insert with instructions. Any other top fill tank I've had you had to screw the bottom of the tank to cut off the juice channels while filling to avoid this problem. This one doesn't seem to have that option. Can anyone help? Thanks. Oh, BTW, I have googled it online and theres nothing on this tank. Only the Super Tank with replaceable coils. Thanks again for any help.

I don't own that tank but I do have other top fill tanks.

Did you close off the airflow before you started filling? If that doesn't work check out some video reviews of the product.

I've found that you'll need to cram cotton into the wells to stop the leakage.
Use very long tails then install the chimney trim excess.

I've been goofin around with goblin's and orchid v4's.
I used the same micro coil build on the tobeco super tank RTA.
The difference is with the wicking .
Here's a pic of the wicking amount.

Still having slight misting ..but the flooding has been greatly reduced.

Next step I flipped it on it side...so far so good.

Ok it's still a work in progress...but I think that I'm getting somewhere.

Wicking material used 4mm x 50mm Koh Gen Do.

I just got one today. having the same problem. they say to wick like a subtank. watched the videos, tried the same thing and no difference. I'm almost ready trash this one and move on. the only tank I've had good success with is my old Kayfun lite. only leaks on its side. have been through 15 other tanks and non work as good. did you ever find a solution?

Lol.. funny you say that, the Kayfun lite is one of the two tanks I've had problems with... (kayfun and the Squape). I've had enormous success with the Taifun series. The Taifun has been the only tank that simply works.... Kanthal, Ni-200, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm wraps.. .It's been the most forgiving tank I've ever owned.

Nope. I finally gave up and returned the darn thing. I settled with the Kanger Subtank line of tanks. I switch between the Mini and the regular one. These two have been the best leak-free tanks I've ever owned! They both have a separate RBA deck and if I get lazy (which has been the case lately) they both have replaceable OCC coils. I love these tanks! If you decide on the regular, larger one, make sure you get the second version because with the second version you don't have to change the top of the tank in order to use the RBA deck. I didn't know about the second version. The first one works just fine, its just makes it a pain to have to change the top piece. I'm all for simplicity.

I talked to the shop owner the other day about this tank that I returned. He said he's been using it and it hasn't leaked, been vaping like a champ. I think I made the mistake of filling it with the airhole open so the vacuum thats necessary to keep the juice inside the tank was never formed. It would have been VERY helpful if the makers included some damn directions in the box. Oh, well, this incident introduced me to the Kanger Subtanks and I'm so glad for that. I love the Subtank!

The issue is the vacuum of the tank. The problem is when you take the top off to fill it. It turns it into a siphon. I found a way to do it with no leaking what so ever. Follow what this guy does. I have the orchid v4 as well and tried it on my tobeco rda and it works.
