Leaking?

[4t9rs]

Hello ~

I've only been vaping for about a week. I have the eGo-T system, and I seem to have trouble with it leaking. I'll be using it, and all of a sudden my hand will have the liquid on it. I was just wondering whether or not anyone may have some suggestions.

Thanks,

I have had minimal leakage over all with my tanks but a couple tips I can think of:

1. try making sure the cartridge portion is lower than the battery when resting.

2. If you notice a bit of leaking--unscrew the atomizer and battery, wipe down both connections and reattach.

Have you changed cartridges??

BTW--Welcome !!!

I have not had any issues with leaking. I fill up the tank and leave about 1/8 of an inch air gap at the top. I also dont lay my eGo on its side, so maybe that helps.

ps... Welcome

Thank you Jeffb and Kitsune for your suggestions. I do lay it on its side; so I will stop doing that, but I'm a little confused. Should I keep it upright or put it upside down? I will also make sure that I don't fill the tank too full. I will keep you posted. I hope this helps.

Thanks again,

I just stand it upright on the flat end of the battery.

Okay, I will stand it upright. Also, how many times do you refill the same tank?

Thanks,

I don't know that there is a set number of times. basically, if the cap gets a bit loose, I go ahead and change it out.

4t9rs, welcome to VT, I also have used the tank and not had any leakage problems, but you have gotten good advice. Just wanted to say hi

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and the good advice. I'm going to be putting in another tank today; so I will let you all know how it goes.......................4t9rs (Paulette)

Vaping does require a bit of trial and error. The learning curve comes and goes. Just when you think you have the hang of it......

All I can say is vaping is soooo much better than smoking !!!

[4t9rs]

Thanks, Kit. That's what I figured. I'll keep trying. I've already cut my "real" smoking in half; so that's good. I'm determined to beat it, and I know I can...........................
