tank and juice problem

[Deleted]

ok i bought a tank in the group buy and couple sourced elsewhere
the e liquid is from easy namely the hazlenut coffee (very nice incidently)
the tank is fine to start with but then starts to leak over my LT
I think from the threaded end
can someone confirm/come up with a better thought than the fact that vaping the juice it could become warmer and thus thin out and therefore leak out.
I do vape a lot in one go and the rubber o rings are not showings signs of leaking down so i have to assume its from the threaded ends as there are no other obvious signs

Can answer the why question but I wonder if some carefully placed PTFT tape may help here? But maybe risky due to heat?

if its comming from the threaded end im guessing you mean the Dual Coil?
what i do is push DC down till hole is exposed at the bottom of tank and give a few blows to remove excess juice,push back up and away you go just make sure juice doesnt go down the Dc when doing this

no river i think i may not have explained properly
I fill it and vape it no broblem (no excess juice etc)
after about 5 min of vaping it started leaking have removed and cleaned off the juice blown through and carried on no problem but after a while it starts to leak again.
If i leave it standing unused it doesnt leak.
I think it can only be the heat is thinning he juice enough to make it run

Ah i see.......it happens to me when the carto is shot,i get the funny taste and juice floods
could well be the juice thinning ???

if it is juice thinning I 'm gonna be boogered when i go to tunisia may have to invest in a small cool bag but dont want to carry it around

I was assuming it was the pre punched carto
good point gordy

it is a pre punched, flavour is good
have just emptied it all to try and inspect there are no signs of damage so i assume it is getting too hot then leaking out
but the other tank with butterscotch is fine
i might try filling it again and add a few drops of vg
