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

I understand your frustration but Kanger have regularly had batches of leaky coils and the ones that come with the tanks are some of the worst, probably because they come from older batches than the spares production lines.

Juice just seems to flow through them irrespective. Been there with Kanger Subtank minis, bought several 'my tank leaks' T-shirts, my hair fell out and I bought different atomisers.

Its either
c) the seals, simple to replace them
b) the fill ports are not fully closed
a) the coils....apparently there have been dodgy batches of  KT ceramics and SSOC going around for ages, its the coil to chimney seal.

Aspire atomiser? Don't know sorry.

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

Leaking tanks are a nightmare and one reason I'm fully squonk converted now.
Good luck anyway and I wish I could help

I have no idea what a squonk is lol

Look at the 'Show us Your Squonkers' thread, it's an awesome way to vape imo

A little bit of weeping from time to time but not more, no.

The coils come from China at £6.05 for 5. (Fasttech)... I've not tried to source them here.

Might be teaching granny to suck eggs here but are you absolutely sure that the airflow is shut off before you fill them? The only time I have had a leaky tank (on top fill tanks) is when I haven't remembered to shut it off tight before filling OR/AND the o-rings need changing simply because they sit so long in the actual tank in the shops that they crush down and then are not effective.

However if it is the o-rings then a simple strip down of the tank, pull all the o-rings out and sit them in a bowl of warm but not piping hot water and they usually re-gain their shape.

I have had lots of leaky tanks and all have been either user error by not shutting the airflow properly or the o-rings have been crushed.....

Funny you should mention about not piping hot water. It seemed when I started pouring boiling water onto my tanks that they started leaking. I came to the conclusion I was warping something

Drop it off at my house GunJack and take something in return. (like a trade)....

Lawnmower? His and hers matching wheelie bins? Wife?

Just don't take the dog or the sports car.

what do you find wrong with the aspire coils? djs is the extended evo tank the same as mine just different coils then?

[sealover1]

got it all sorted now I have bought a predator 228 but finding the 4ml extension tank to small is there a bigger tank with premade coils to fit the 228?

[joeten]

Fasttech have lots of pre made coils which are not expensive www.fasttech.com/search?%20coils
Or going diy they have plenty of coiling jigs www.fasttech.com/category/0/search?f=MTc3PUNvaWxeSmlncw&sort=r&keywords=+coils
Cotton for making wicks (it does not have to be the kind I have in the link) www.fasttech.com/search?Muji%20cotton
There are lots of Tanks that should fit a 510 fitting www.gearbest.com/vapor-atomizers-c_11407/
