We'retired of leaking tanks......Help please....

[ddirtyvapes]

Lemo 3 is vastly improved over Lemo 1 and 2 IMO. No juice control but doesn't need it. I haven't had leaks yet. I know you don't need stock coils but 3 has the option, at least. I'm really enjoying mine so far.

All the screws are a tad fiddly but now that I've been using it, it's not that big of a deal, and I'm a huge klutz. It's really just the two on the side of the cap if you're going to run it mostly (or completely) in RTA mode and it allows the deck to be larger than a lot of 22mm tanks.

Then again, I've really had no trouble with leaking from most of my tanks in normal use. A couple of spots here or there but nothing major unless there was a problem, like a loose bottom of a stock coil coming out and dumping juice through the AFC.

My lemo2 never leaked out the airflow or threads but poured Juice out the fill port on top.

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like you got a defective Lemo2. My two have never leaked a drop out of the fill port.

I taught a class at the senior center snd in 2 1/2 hours it leaked half a tank all over my shirt.

Not good.

I have a drawer full of what might of been exceptional tanks that I ether gave up on or grew tired of. Spoiling a shirt after careful testing is ground for rejection to the drawer.

I don't always use both my Lemo2's but one of them is in my daily rotation. Very reliable. I liked them so much I even got some fake Lemo3's (Lemo2 clones). They did not turn out so good but with a little work I had a 1.8ohm SS430 build in one of them for almost a year.

The funny thing about tanks is that there is never universal approval of them. Some percentage of users are always going to have leaks.

Here's hoping that you and I are not one of them.

mine always leaks

Every tank I have tried has had a potential for a leak, the wick gets old and lets you know or you wick it wrong in the first place. In five years I never really noticed now I would always have some residue on me, sticky hands or little spots om shirt or pants until the last 3 months since switching to the STMs. I really havent had any leak issues amazingly and have been taking the clean fingers for granted. Every tank has potential for leak but this has been best for me, good luck.

what is an stm? Im intrigued

Kanger Sub Tank Mini, same here, never leak. Down side is having to remove them to bottom fill. Almost a year on the first two and haven't changed any orings. knockonwood

 

[robinsonfam1]

duh....shudda known that one....my mini and full size original sub tank are pretty good about not leaking. Im thinking I might just use them full time and get a new one for the Mrs. At the same time it would be nice to have a new set up! lol

 

[narrdarr]

my fav rta's are:
lemo v1, goblin mini rta, aromamizer LE, theorem

 

[schatz]

They just work for me, and I have spent a lot of time and money trying all the different tanks, clones . They are not fancy or anything but just plain work for me. And I love not having juice for once all over my clothes and fingers.

 

[robinsonfam1]

I just went back into the box o wonders and found an rda that im using now. I forgot how much flavor and vapor you get from these things.
I have narrowed it down to goliath and billow. ecigcity has them for cheap and with all the reviews it kinda seems a no brainer really. i guess ill get one of each then the wife and I can fight over which one later. lol

thanks for all the help everyone!

I concur with the sub tank mini, enjoying a Griffin and a Gemini right now, no leaks, great airflow, flavor etc......as always the wicking is a main factor

 

[PaulBHC]

If a small chamber is the key to flavor, it doesn't get much smaller than the rba of the stm. I vape unflavored so I don't really know.

 

[robinsonfam1]

our leak issues are more concentrated at the afc ring on our stm's. i have one subtank that is pretty good about not leaking but i really have to watch which way the glass goes in or it will leak. the others seem to start with a seep then it seems to create a siphon drawing the juice out. the on times they leak from the air holes is when they get hot like in a pocket or car. forget using them in the car this time of year....flood, flood, flood...

i always thought the coil and wick style along with airflow combination was the defining factor in flavor.
EG: clapton wire and air from beneath the coil produced best flavor.

From the Kayfun Lite V2+ up to the V5, I think the only times one has ever leaked on me was when I didn't put the base of one of my V4s back together right (too many damn parts on that thing), and the one time I tried to top fill the Lite for kicks. The Kayfun is really hard to screw up a build on, its probably the most user friendly atty out there. As for MTL vs DTL hits on them.. The Lite and V4 are definitely MTL machines. The V5 wide open though is just about equal to my Derringer with one side all the way open. Maybe what I do is considered a 'restricted lung hit' whatever that means, but its still spits out some pretty thick vapor with a single 2.5mm 0.8ohm 26ga coil at a 'lowly' 18 watts.
