Why no gasket?

[Warren E. Justice]

I rarely get answers for questions I ask and I have a leakage problem that was probably started by over tightening and then using a tool to tighten it more and more with a damn set of vice grips. I think it worked for a while.

Still it begs the question: Why is there no soft gasket or a sort of gasket between the module and the tank? This question will be mute in a few days because I am going to buy ( and so will everybody else who has a brain) a unit with the tank on the inside of the unit. This whole thing with a tank sticking up on top was a bad idea and I have thought so since I saw it. I have been saying it to my girlfriend for a long time until the other day when she bought one. She did not overwhelm me with praise for being so smart but she acknowledged that I had driven her crazy saying it and said this unit was great! I want one right now as I watch this thing leaking very slowly. IT is at least just my back up but I like the way it vapes so.. I tolerate it and then empty it.
This is of course costing me of course a lot of oil that just leaks as I use the old one. I am stubborn and I WILL get my money back and I have had to fight for it even though I told the manager that it was leaking on a the day after I bought it. Long story but you would not believe how he tried to fix the problem.
I think there should be a soft gasket or something to seal the upper type bottles to the module.

And you won't see those bottles for very long. This industry is evolving at light speed and so many changes are coming that it is hard to keep up. It is like the phone industry and the computer industry. By the time you buy it-- it is obsolete.

I still think they will come up with a good unit that smokes and looks like a cigarette that does not burn out so fast. Mark my words!

Please give me an answer to this one!

You have a problem with the tank if it is leaking out on the "module".
Watch some vids on you tube about the type of vaping equipment you have. Vaping is more complicated than smoking.

A gasket to serve the function that you are describing would be part of the tank/clearomizer/cartomizer/"upper type bottle." Any leak you experienced was within the top piece, which is why tightening it didn't fix the problem (even with vice grips - I'm frankly shocked that your equipment still works at all after that, but ...)

The 2 pieces are meant to be completely independent of one another. One is the power supply, the other is juice delivery. BTW there is absolutely no oil involved. All of the liquids used in vaping are water based. The use of oil in an ecig presents a significant risk of a very nasty type of pneumonia.

And just an opinion, I wouldn't use a cigarette-style vape even if they made one. I've been vaping for 6 years and have long since moved passed the need to feel like I'm smoking. YMMV

What kind of tank do you have that takes oil ? certainly that cant be good for you

There is nothing in your description that even hints at what you're using. No one can answer your question without specifics. And you shouldn't be using a set of vice grips on any tank. It shouldn't be necessary.

Sounds like you are OVER tightening the tank. Too tight causes, deformation, which leads to leakage. Why don't you go to the hardware store and get an o-ring? If one can be fit.

What is 'it'?

What exactly is leaking and from where? Are the 'upper type bottles' atomizers?

Please give me an answer to this one!

You'll have to give a bit more information first

This is so 2015......................New Vapers.

Does no one attempt to learn anything any more?


Honestly............Yes you can say I have been around a little while and some twice as long or longer, but Fact of the matter is I was searching/reading/learning literally months before and ever since I started Vaping.

Asking Questions in simple and sort of good<if you get right answers>
Usually what you get is dozens of variations and personal opinions.

Digging in and researching any of this will eventually bring you to a Correct conclusion.
Percentages just don't lie.

There is little we use that cannot be fixed, modified or made better through good maintenance. One simply needs to take the time to Learn - Hands On.

Top tanks only keep leaking if you ignore the leaking issue.
Side tanks will also leak. Internal Tanks can leak. No matter what the configuration, the tank has to make contact. Leaks interfere with contact.

Forget where it goes and concentrate on making it work correctly when it gets there.

I rarely get answers for questions I ask

Maybe that is because (after looking at your post history) you are coming off as extremely hostile. Wanting to "take a sledgehammer to their vaporizer" and threatening to take small-business owners to court over a defective product isn't the best way to ask for help with your mystery issue.
