e-liquid making my Clearomisers leak

[thehitman]

hello all

i just got some samples ejuice
one of the samples is making my Vision Clearomisers v3 leek, so i took it all apart cleaned it all out refitted back again doing the same thing, so i repeated it again and just filled it with water to see where it is leaking from between the tube and the base, everything looks normal i have 4 Vision Clearomisers v3 never had this problem.

so anyway i just though it's just a bad Clearomisers , so i used another Clearomisers which has no problems and now that is leaking as well using the same e-liquid >

has anyone had this problem, all the samples are from a reliable store i think most people buy stuff from here

just find it bizarre a e-liquid can destroy 2 Clearomisers

thanks

What flavour e-liquid is it hitman? Some flavours can cause clearomisers to crack & leak.

hello

it's Karoffee Kick from VE

i got about 7/8 different favours not problems with those

[Chrissie]

Surprised that the karoffee Kick is causing a problem It's usually citrus flavours that tend to cause cracking/leaking.

I had one that would persist in leaking,changed to another and the V3 is fine again,seems some don't agree with the V3,perhaps get a packet of carts for these occasions

Is the clearo going frosty? If it isnt frosty then in unlikely to be the juice. You could try adjusting the centre pin a mm or 2 to make sure its seated snuggly, make sure the top collar is on there properly too.

There is a list kicking aorund here somewhere that has juices known to crack poly.

that's a good idea thanks

i think it might be something to do with the o-rings on the metal base, i did try refitting then but no joy they still both still leak

now i will have to buy a metal base i guess :-[ more expense great

When it's full of juice do you get bubbles appear in the tank from around the base? If you do then this is what to do:-

On a couple of mine the glue that holds the bottom collar on went soft, so I pulled it off cleaned the metal collare and bottom of the tank then used a little superglue and glued it back on and it worked fine after that.

the clearo looks fine no frosting, sorry the centre pin on the metal base ?

Will try that if I can replicate it again Des,only one juice did it and it wasn't one I would buy again
