So I thought I had found the perfect top fill tank and was ok for a couple of days but then started leaking out the air holes after filling. Yesterday I changed the coil for a new one and it did the same again last night. Decided to fill it from the bottom and it hasn't leaked. Is anyone else having trouble with it leaking after filling it through the top? I think what is happening is a syphon effect somehow through the coil. Wished I went for the Crown now  |

From my experience of Kanger and Kayfun tanks an air pressure differential has to exist. Lower than external atmospheric pressure in the tank itself. External air will try to equal the differential and when it does juice is out.
If the tank seals are ok its a problem of inadequate wick density I think. The wick is the only element of the tank that blocks the holes from the atomiser into the tank itself. The Kayfun V3 body screws down onto 2 seals to top fill, thus preventing air entering the tank from the atomiser. It escapes (displaces) thru the top as you fill. The kanger bottom fill is a bit hit and miss and depends on the wick as mentioned. Breaking seals to fill is not so good in my view.
Get the wick right and its all good until the wick looses density...burnt/shrunk?
