On one of my Serpent Mimi's I an getting some gurgling, leaking, and I'm wondering what I should change.
My set up is on a Provari Classic, and it is set at 4.4v/11.0w. The build is 1.8Ω. I have the rayon wick tight in the coil, and long tails reaching down to almost the bottom of the channel. My juice is a 60pg/40vg mix. I wasn't getting any leaking vaping from a full tank, altho it was gurgling, and the leaking started just now as the tank is almost empty. Not sure what to do about the gurgling, I had tried upping the watts a bit, but didn't seem to help. And for the leaking maybe shouldn't vape the tank so low? Any ideas? Thanks.

Is it sealed correctly.?check tank seals, o'rings, threading. To me the wick is easy peasy. Is it in the track okay. Make sure the wick isn't in the chimney threading. It has to seal cleanly. That's all I got. Sorry if I get doesn't work for ya. Keep it simple.

I'm replying to my own here. Thought of something. Is this the atty with the smaller tank seal at the top and bigger at the bottom. Its been a month for me to build this one. Be aware when you first get an atty, the seals could be sized differently top can be different from bottom. On some that is.

I'm gonna rewick, and re coil later, and clean everything. My other Serpent is working great.
There you go. Just go easy with the seals. Also don't try and press fit to glass. Let the 2 glass/stainless do the work when threading together. That's my take. Let me know if an issue still. Thanks

Both of them look to have bigger at the top, and smaller on the bottom. The bottom is just a flat o ring I think that the tank sits, and seals on.
It could be that. O'rings are donut shaped. Seals which I call tank aren't. L- liped or flat... Just so you know there is a difference when ordering. They may be called something else by the manufactorers but as long as you know the glass seals aren't usually o'ringed in shape. Looks right to me just checked. Should work. Dress the seal with some juice first and lay in stainless track. Then glass in track and thread clockwise. That's it!

Just got it apart and cleaned. Both o-rings look to be the same shape, and one is bigger in dia. than the other. The glass goes over it's o-ring pretty easily. I have heard they can be difficult with the possibility of breaking the glass, but not this one.
Cool. It doesn't break if you take your time and look at the parts. Just think of it this way. You don't pinch glass, seals, Stainless. If it's not true size stop and check. Sometimes things can be off. Especially low costing atties. Glad to hear. Have a good one.

I have 2 black ones and the paint is already chipping off ....anyone else notice this ....I noticed it when cleaning my tanks seen black specs the water and noticed it on tanks

Two for two? :eek:

Any chance of counterfeits having been sold?

I just have one and it's flawless, with all day daily use (however many weeks it's been).
I believe mine came from Eciggity, if that matters.

eta: My Swiss cheese memory just told me... I don't have the full size, but I believe there was mention earlier in this thread about WoToFo having prior issues with their black treatments.

So... authentic is still on the table. :(

I am about to order a serpent mini but would like to know from current owners is there any trouble regarding drip tip fitment?

I read a few comments on youtube about people having trouble fitting drip tips in because the drip tip well was too big.

Is this true? I'd hate not being able to use my favorite drip tips.
