All vaporizers leak!

Never had a leaky tank like EVER. Touch wood. Dont over tighten the things. Two fingers only when tightening. Always good. You do get such a thing as over tightening a seal...

You have never had a leaky tank? You must have started vaping 3 days ago then! :p

I'm tempted to order a Kayfun Clone for you... :D

Looool... OK the Griffin leaked like a sieve before I learned how to tame it... Bet I can tame that Kayfun clone also and get it to behave. Free atty, hint hint nudge nudge...
 
What kayfun. I've had 2 clones 3,1 it's actually very easy to build on and doesn't leak. Wel it does but only if you don't fill it correctly, or rather close it correctly. It needs to be turned upside down as you are closing. I'm sure It's another kayfun.
 
Leaking RBA's are 99% of the time due to incorrect wicking.

And I see you are also in Durban as well. Much more air pressure at sea level.

I have realized when I go to sea level I also get more leaks than up here.

But I also keep my vape setups up right all the time.

Remember we are working with liquid here.

Also when wattage settings is to low,tanks flood because liquid doesn't burn quick enough.

Temperature I have tried 300c and 400c - equates to about 35w.
 
I have 2 crowns a target an avo and a zep2. No leaks. Travel a lot and the worst is some sweating from the zep2

My thread starter stated that I was now using the eleak istick and the Kanger Topbox.
Within the last hour both have packed up and I have nothing to vape.
The Topbox booklet states that the problem is either a bad spring load or a bad atonizer, four days old?
My eleak suddenly stopped, dead, no readout, vaping or on charge.
Am I allowed to curse on this forum?

Some folks have bad joem around electronics, dropping phones like poker chips in a casino etc.
Guess you'll have to live with it and make the move to mechanical mods ala Reo's.
 
The message below is what I have just sent to Sir Vape.

"I bought the Kanger Topbox mini kit from you no more than a month ago.
After a few weeks I replaced the atomizer that came in the mod.
I fitted the stainless steel atomizer four days ago. Suddenly it no longer works.
The 9.99 ohm display flashes and the booklet states that the problem is either a poor spring connection to the battery or the atomizer is dead.
I first checked the spring connector which seems fine.
I have just tried two new atomizers and the problem still exists.
It would appear that there is a problem with the mod's electronics.
Kindly enlighten me as to your warranty policy and where in Durban my findings can be substantiated. Thank you.."

I reckon they will be more than happy to help you out! These guys have an amazing reputation here and for a very good reason. I hope you manage to come right.
 
Basically its best to do some research before biting the bullet and getting all the latest and greatest..

Research by viewing videos where someone raves about a new product and sends a vapor cloud all over the screen.
They are testing something new for probably a few days. I want to see a review about a product that has been used
over a period of time.

I went to Sir Vape, spent almost a hour there. They stripped the unit and got it working again, but had no idea what the problem had been.
They made me another coil, changed the RBA coil for a thicker one, and tried various liquids until they were happy with the unit.
A couple of interesting points were made.
1. My 18mg liquid is far too strong for the topbox mini. It should take 6mg strength. (the guy nearly choked after one vape)
2. Only Nichrome coils can the temperature settings be used. All other types require wattage set. (strange that the kit came with a variety of atomizers but nowhere did the booklet inform me of this obviously important fact.)
3. They coil they fitted to the RBA, attached to the mod will, according to them, last forever, but the cotton should be replaced every three days.
Interesting visit to Sir Vape.

Best is to speak to fellow vapers then. I rather rely on experience from my peers than reviews on the webs. Reviews are great to pique the interest. But real life use/travel/building etc is the only show of longevity.

Actually not a bad idea for a thread, ''Review Your Old Favorites" post it up and watch all the info you want just fall in your lap. Forums are great for condensing info via socializing.

Well I'm glad they took the time to make sure you were sorted! I can understand your frustration, but I hope you are happy that they didn't brush you off, and ultimately got the answers you wanted?

I can't imagine what it would be like to vape 18mg out of my Subox! I bet it brought a tear to his eye! Nice thing about getting a higher strength when you start is you can dilute it. It will also dilute the flavour but IMO when starting to get off the cigs getting your nic strength right is paramount. You can pick up some VG that you can dilute it with at Dischem for R20 (It's called Dolly Vardan).

I can't affirm/argue anything related to Temp Control as I haven't used it much, hopefully someone else can shed a bit of light on this.

I don't believe the coil will last forever, but it will certainly last a long time! I have kept the same coil on my RBA for about a month now and it is fine. Every Friday I take the cotton out, dry burn the coil till it looks like new, and re-wick and I'm good to go. Three days is more accurate as the flavour starts to drop on about Wednesday for me, but I can live with it.

Thank you for this info. Dolly Vardan here I come.
I just hope the problem does not re-occur seeing that they had not idea what caused it in the first place.
 
Sorry to hear about your bad luck with all leaking tanks. I've had my Aromamizer RDTA running for two days now and no leaks yet. It sits on my desk at work but will be taking it walk about on the weekend. I did make sure that the inlet holes were well covered with the cotton wick. I'm sure the leakless tank is busy being made in China as we speak with the rate of new product being introduced to the vaping community almost on a daily basis.

In my previous post I explained how helpful Sir Vape was, even replacing the stock RBA coil with a heavier coil. It works great but as usual
after two days it started leaking from the air holes and if I hold it on its side liquid drips onto the floor. A problem that technology has to
still overcome I suppose.
