Did you put the cap on properly mate?and you didnt fill right to the top did you as this can cause pressure and make the cap come of a lil causeing leakage.

Plus the caps can get a little loose over time, with use . . . if you've a syringe for filling the tank it saves some of the wear and tear.

Aye me mate at work uses tanks, and his was leaking, and he fills by removing the cap, so it must be wear and tear.
I fill mine with a syringe, and have had no leakages.

they all leak overtime with taking the tank in and out of the atomizer as it makes the hole slightly bigger over time but to be honest are cheap enough to keep replacing every so often. as roachie says aswell never fill them right to the brim always leave a couple of mill gap in the tank to create a vacuum

Am just trying to catch up with you lot - tanks, cartomisers, etc. etc. Am hoping to get a GGTB - if I ever manage to be there at the right time! However, TECC have a sale on this weekend, Tornado Tank circa £39.00. Has anyone tried one of theirs? Recommend it? Suggest another one? Also, not sure where an Arry tank fits into things (nor even know what it is. :-[ :-[ ) All info v ery gratefully received.

Hi Hanow
The Tornado Tank is one of the many Ego-T models. It is made by Joye and was the first e-cig I bought.
Some have problems with them and some don't - I personally had no problem at all.
Other variants are the Ego-T, iTank and Piper Tank. They all do similar things.
Jason

Hanow, the plethora of tank varieties have got me completely confused as well I've had XL Clearos where, when filled, the juice went in one end and dripped out of the other, the screw end. At least 2 out of a pack of 5 did it, I didn't finish the pack. The new ones I bought from Camper are fine so far. scylla

Jason and Scylla, many thanks. I think I have reached a point where I now want to be really sure that any money spent is 'well spent'. Having launched into vaping - sooooo successfully - I confess that I have been a bit 'laissez faire' with purchases; many being great, good value, work etc., but quite a few not so. For example, my SD Mk2 - rubbish - in my view. I have never got the darned thing to work properly, effectively etc. beyond a couple of sessions with it. But.... I also accept that others have high regard for it, and they haven't had the issues that I have. So, other than maintaining my current supplies to support my Riva, Tornado and GDPT, I am trying to do my homework before spending too much more to 'upgrade'.
