Hello all. Received my Z-Atty-P from Provape today. Best vape I've ever experienced. Clouds of vapor. Tons of flavor. Huge throat hit. One problem though. It leaks like a sieve. Anyone else have experience with this problem. I love the way this thing vapes, but I can't take it to work with me or lay around the house with it if it's going to leak and stain everything. Thanks for any help. Aaron.

Where is it leaking from, the 510 connector? Can you give us more specifics?
Genesis style atties, specifically the Zen~ atties will flood the atomizing chamber and leak from the top cap if left horizontal for more than a few minutes. That is just the nature of the beast. Pinching the top of the wick closed will help, but not eliminate it.

It's leaking out of the air hole from the top cap. I was laying in bed watching TV and I looked down to find that my shirt was covered in dark wet spots from leaking juice. My DID leaks a little, but nothing like this. The fill hole gets covered up on my DID (with a screw), and there's nothing plugging the hole on the ZAP. I think that may be the issue here.
Thanks. Aaron.

Yep, unfortunately that is the only downside to the Z Atties. Gotta keep 'em upright. You can try rolling a very tight mesh wick about an inch long to plug the fill hole with, that might help, but it might give you wicking issues. You can also try rolling a new wick that is tight with no hole through the center.
My DID goes out with me and my ZAP stays home most of the time.

Well that sucks. The DID I have is actually my cousins. I've just been borrowing it until I got my Z-atty. I might have to offer the Z-atty up for trade in the forum. Is there a Genesis style that absolutely doesn't leak? Anything better than the DID?
Nope, I don't think it was built for mobility either. It was built for performance. The fill hole is important for proper wicking, and the top cap needs to be able to rotate to accomplish the adjustable throat hit. It is a fantastic atty IMO, but I prefer the DID on a P+ for out and about. Those are the only two Genny's I have experience with, so I can't make any recommendations for other devices.

The Orion top cap will screw on and it's a very solid and beautiful device but as all genesis atty got to keep it upright or it will leak . I loved the vape , flavor and everything about them but can't keep one straight up so I'm back to silica type atttys which to me is just as good.
I also have a Penelope on the way. May keep the ZAP at home filled with juice, and take the Penelope with me when I go out. I've never tried the Penelope or the ODY, so hopefully the vape is just as good.
