Leaking Tanks Advice Please

[sealover1]

Hi guys,

I have two vapeing units now one I keep as a spare 70w stealth with a aspire extended 5ml tank (only 2 weeks old) and just bought a Predator 228 with a kanger tech tank.

both of them keep leaking when I top them up but the kanger teck I just filled up from new from the top fill and was waiting a little bit for it to soak in has just leaked the whole 5ml out.

I tried using the predator and its working but its still leaking out.

both are leaking from the air vents

any ideal where I,m going wrong with these tanks and are they any that don't bloody leak its doing me head in ever time I top up not to mention wasting loads of juice

vaping at about 40-50w

Thanks for any advice

Not familiar with your specific tanks but find with top fill tanks once youve filled em flip em upside down and leave them for as long as possible inverted to give it chance to equalize pressure.

Hi, typically constant leaks from new are down to seals and o-rings.
Its a common enough fault with top-fills when they lose vacuum. I'd just strip them down, replace all of the rubbers and maybe give the coil longer to prime before filling up the tank.

now its been filled up and its all come out about 2 hours ago would it not be primed by now?

you think they would of come out with one by now that don't leak

What kind of kanger tank do you have ?

Indeed and I think there is at least one style of tank that cannot leak at all and that is the OBS Engine range of Sub Ohm and RTA tanks.

At least not if you keep them the right way up and properly assembled; reason is because (almost uniquely*) they have top (not bottom) air inlets.

I only have the 25mm Nano (single coil) and the 23mm double/single coil RTA versions not the sub ohm ones that take ready made OBS oils but I presume they are as leak proof as they share the same design otherwise.

Some of our experienced friends on here (minime ) do not like them because they find they lack flavour not a problem I have noticed but worth mentioning.

They are the only tanks I bother with currently. Easiest filling mechanism I have used too.

*Other top air flow tanks must be available but I am not aware of them.

Richard46 do they not sell the OBS Engine SUB Sub Ohm 5.3ml Tank Clearomizer in the uk?? and does sub ohm mean you don't have to make your own coils as I wouldn't have a clue

[Richard46]

sealover1 Yep presumably the sub ohm one takes these coils.

Cannot see anyone in the UK who has the Engine Sub Ohm version (or coils) in stock. Sorry.

Time to learn to coil and wick perhaps?

Edit Naturevape stock the RTA version I think.

That is the 25mm dual coil version of the Engine RTA. You would have to make your own coils (or perhaps buy ready made coils) and wick them yourself. It does not take proprietory coil heads. 

[sealover1]

I don't want to start doing all that to be honest would rather buy the coils ready made

I have no idea what a squonk is lol

I use the EVO tank (extended) with the Eleaf EC heads as quite frankly the Aspire coils are poo.

Other than Joyetech BF 0.6ohm cubis/aio coils, all I use now is Eleaf.
