Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[corn flakes]

Question: I know I need to keep my threads and o rings lubricated but what about tanks I'm storing? Do I need to add a little pg or vg to the threads and o rings for maximum longevity?

I don't on mine. Just leave them partially unscrewed.

What does it mean when a tank suddenly starts leaking through the air flow ?

For bottom coil tanks, it normally meant a loss of vacuum. A distorted o-ring, maybe something not completely tight. In some cases, a head not screwed in tightly could be a factor too.

There could be various causes. You say suddenly, but what were the circumstances. Was it truly sudden, as in it's been sitting there unused for hours just fine and suddenly started leaking? I'm guessing not.

Likely causes include anything that might create a poor seal, so damaged o rings, cross threaded, etc. Improper filling? (though if it's a tank you have filled numerous times without issue that probably isn't the cause) Dramatic temp change? Flooding the coil can sometimes cause this too.

You're right, it was after I filled it. Felt "sudden" to me because all I did was fill it and re-wick and it was fine before. It's a STM using the RBA coil, perhaps I didn't use enough wick...but it's leaking an awful lot

Thanks @440BB and @kad2371 for your help. I'm suspicious of the o ring as I had to re-seat it

@VapeLuvr another cause of leaking is wicking. Ensure that there is no wick touching the airflow port. Wick that touches internal air ports tend to leak juice right out...

He gets more attention than most kitties. And as you can see, comes to get it whenever he wants. He is quite spoiled as he was my original child.

Okay, I'm also going to go ahead and re-wick. Thanks Shawn!

Nice!

I have to make things match now. This is all getting to complicated. I thought my rotation of next was working fine. Guess I was wrong.

I always plan to make things match. But, when it comes to walking out the door, it rarely ends up that way.

Love the Green Vines! And Flakes, I like it with the Pink topper!!

Ok, get ready. Bling city.

It just sort of (Sgt) Shultz-ed away.

Ha ha.

Me thinks you need to take some matchy matchy lessons from Kat, that pink simply does not go with that green.

Yes, it DO!

Matchy matchy!

[ChelsB]

These remind me of those fancy extensions people used to put on cigs. Talk about restricted flow!

Help with Zen atty Pro

I started this over in the Genisis forum, but if any of the tootle puffers have ideas to help me, I would appreciate it. If @VapeLuvr can jump in the deep end with both feet, I figured it was the kick in the hiney that I needed to try something besides a factory coil.
