X8 tank issues

[carpetviper]

Well I found a k200 for sale dirt cheap that came with the x8 tank which I loved but every carto I have tried seems to leak from the carto. I have tried multiple cartos for them all to do the same even the boge ones.

Could I be doing something wrong even though I am coming to the conclusion I may have just hit a bad run with these cartos. Can anyone reccomend a similar tank or clearo looks wise.

I already have the protank, evods and the vivi nova.

Also it's to be used on a provari the k200 is only for an emergency not everyday use

It's more than likely your technique in filling the tank. That tank has a fill screw port. If you are blocking the fill hole with either the juice bottle tip or a needle while adding e-liquid, this is allowing too much pressure inside the tank. The high pressure has nowhere to go but through the holes in the cartomizer and flooding it.

PBusardo pointed out this issue with the similar AGR tank which uses a fill port. Advance the video below to the 07:00 mark where he describes the issue and how to work around it.

My suggestion is to make sure there is some air space in the fill hole along with the needle or juice bottle tip to allow some air to escape as you add liquid to the tank. This might require using a finer needle size.

Cartotanks work on the principle of negative pressure in the tank. With each draw of vapor, more juice from the tank is drawn into the cartomizer because of the negative pressure. The juice fill hole in the tank can upset this negative pressure, as well as overfilling the tank - only fill the tank 80% full. There must be some air space in the tank for it to work properly.

I hope one of these tips solves your flooding issues.

Never been a fan of those tanks that use a juice fill hole. It just adds something else to go wrong via user or mechanical error. Give me a regular quality tank with traditional end caps and let me fill it the old fashioned way.
