Type B Silicon Caps?

[PeeKay]

Does anyone know where I can get Type B silicon caps from? I ordered some tanks from Jason and they have the hard plastic type, so I need to get these changed pronto (as they leak almost as much as an X-Factor contestant).

Thanks in advance.

Nice one - thanks Blue!

YW, can i just ask, where do they leak from. I only have one and its never leaked and i've had it months.

Funnily enough, I prefer the hard tank caps Peekay . . . have never had a moments problem with them.

For some reason I can't get the soft silcone ones to dispense juice fast enough for me.

i concur i found the hard ones much better

As with the type 'A' tanks, I've found that the hard plastic caps leak, especially when using a thiner juice with a higher PG content. Not sure about you, but I prefer the vape in my lungs, not all over my fingers/equipement.

That said, I loaded a hard cap yesterday with some rather pleasant Banoffee Cream juice (thanks Griz), and I've yet to see it leak...

To date, I've not had leakage from silicon caps as long as they have been pierced correctly first. I've learnt a little snip trick that ensure that the wick is always in the right place - and that helps a heap too.

I'm actually going to crack another plastic cap now with a different juice and will let you know how it goes. I'll use the same process as I did yesterday for comparison.

Again - thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm a PG gel Peekay . . . be interesting to see how you get on with your second plastic cap.

[PeeKay]

OK, so I created the second tank cap in the same manner as the first, and so far, no leakage. I am, however, seeing some juice from the previous tank getting a little over zealous on the atty coil, so I have to dab away the excess from time to time. Waste of good Whiskey Cream if you ask me...

I've noticed that if you puncture the cap with the atty, it leaves an almost triangular shape around the outside rim of the hole it makes. I guess that's down to how the pin/wick assembly hits the plastic first? However, I found that I could rub away some more using a pair of tweezers (don't ask...) and it looks to make the perfect hole, at least for the Bulli I'm using.

So, in summary - not as much leakage as before, but it is still there from time to time. Maybe I'm sucking on the tip too hard, I don't know. What I do know is that the silicon caps stop all of this problem for me.

Edited to clean up my crummy grammer...

how high is the wick in the spike? this has an effect on how the juice flows

[PeeKay]

Looking at the spike as a triangle side on, the wick is level with the top of the triangle. I have it set this way with the hard or soft silicon caps, and find that the hard caps have more 'issues'.

That said, the second tank I loaded yesterday is (touch wood) behaving itself with Banoffee Cream as the juice. Was not the same with the Whiskey Cream.

FYI - I had to rebuild the atty today as the old one died after 8 days of almost constant use (VERY happy with that result). Need to measure the resistance still, but it does vape rather pleasantly, even with 10mg juice onboard.
