Pssd off, My Expromizer is LEAKING :(

[virus2k]

Just got the bloody thing aswell, when i first got it it was not leaking but i have filled it up a few times and now it wont stop leaking, the leaking is very small and i know where its coming from.
its leaking at the bottom of the plastic tank where you screw the tank to to the bottom base, to me it seems the oring thats there is to small or is not thick enough to seal the bottom correctly.

weird thing is the spare orings that came with it are black but the rings thats on the atty in the first place are clear... i tried putting a black oring on so now i have a clear oring on the bottom and on top of that i have the black oring and it still seem to be leaking slightly ...
and also i cant seal the bloody thing correctly im unable to screw it completely shut with 2 orings on.

and if i try to overtighten it i can see the tank at the bottom starts to expand and looks weird and on top of that probably wont be doing anything good to the threads on the plastic tank.

my only options are to send this defect back or to get some better orings or to get a full steel tank upgrade or glass or another plastic tank...

---------------------------------------------------

its the only issue i have with it, its an amazing atty, flavors are always there, no gurgling and full vapor just wish it would stop leaking...

virus2k have a look here : allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/35686/expromizer-first-impressions-pics?page=1&scrollTo=622428

Maybe paulymeatballs might be able to help to see how he fixes this problem and how he is now getting along with it.

Firstly, change the o-ring at the bottom and at the top of the tank section to the thicker black o-rings. The top is important (that connects the cap to the tank) because if any air gets in, the pressure changes and it leaks from the bottom. This is a known problem with the expromizer.

Edit: actually change the rings - take the clear one off and put the black one on, top and bottom. Don't double up or you won't make an efficient seal. 

Are you sure it's coming out of the thread on the tank? Could it also be leaking through the air hole section? Try putting some cotton wool in the bottom section below the deck, and make sure this is screwed down tight. Don't adjust the airflow when you have the tank on, again it causes a change in pressure and leaks.

Are you using a cotton wool build for your coil? The juice grooves on the expromizer are deep, so lots of juice can wick. However, this leads to a saturated wick and I think it can drip through the air hole in the deck. Use less cotton wool in the wick.

Lastly, keep the bugger upright. Others tell me that they have no problems when it's laying down, but I always felt it caused problems. Ymmv.

thanks for the info guys, i will report back after work with some more information will remove the 2 orings and put just the black thicker one on.
and its 1.6ohms with wick no cotton
though when i set it up tommorow night i might just throw a little cotton in the well at the bottom to stop air leaks and fix the tank tomorrow if i can fix it.

cheers for da tips...

Watch a review on the expromizer the other day as said change the orings for the spares

Was about to step in with advice and then saw the guidance from ionian - spot on (although I added a spare o'ring top and bottom to the existing ones) - I've also seen flooding of the air hole due to the amazing wicking using cotton - it takes some trial and error to get the right density of cotton and amount in the base - when you get it all set up well it's amazing - I think on par with my Kayfuns (or just below).

WOW well guys good news.

Leaks gone bye bye.
the reason why the leaking was still happening for me was cause i used both orings there for making it impossible for me to completely seal the bottom tank to the to the metal base with both orings the bottom of the tank was warping outwards and over the orings causeing the leak
also the top was leaking so i have replaced both bottom and top orings with thicker black orings i have also placed wool at the top well and bottom air well aswell so now i have no leaking from the air hole to ....

awesome
