I've recently bought a vape Pen 22 and I've been liking it so far, but I have a problem. It leaks some e juice out of the air vents. I've tried using some Thread seal tape between the coil and the air vents to prevent it from happening but it didn't work. Also tried tightening it harder, nothing.

Is this leakage bad if it gets in contact with my skin.
And can the Thread seal tape cause problems?

Welcome to ECF @Rolimans – As other have mentioned, e-juice on the skin is not harmful. However, leaking is a bit discouraging for no one wants to deal with a leaky tank…it just messy! You may want to try a different coil.

Will say that I would advise against trying to seal with tape or over tightening. Not that I think the tape is harmful but it along with overtightening could lead to the components seizing within your tank in which you may cause damage trying to get them apart.

Hi, I have the vape pen 22. I was given it. I think I was given it because you cannot fix the design fault. Answer... don't buy Smok products. Maybe you can get a refund or partial credit from the store that sold it to you? I'd try that, then probably give up, because Smok don't care, nor do many stores.
Next time, you'll know what not to buy. :) I hope it was cheap.
