bloombloom88 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I bought this tank about two weeks ago and have not been able to use it. As soon as I took it out of the box, filled it up and attached it to my battery, it floods. Fluid comes out here.. It leaks onto my battery where the coil makes contact as well. All o rings have been checked and look like they are in good shape. Whenever I start to inhale the fluid spits up and ends up in my mouth and not just a little fluid, it's a good amount. No fluid was dripped down into the center tube when filling the tank, I'm very careful with that. I took it back to where it was purchased and they told me because it's a dual coil unit it uses twice as much fluid and if I take too long of a drag it will flood.. This doesn't seem right to me. I literally have not been able to use this tank, it floods EVERYTIME I try to use it. Is there something wrong with the coil that could be causing this or is what they told me correct? FYI the picture taken is of my pro tank, the iclear is in my truck and didn't want to grab it just for a picture lol Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Apparently they made a couple of good ones. I, like you, didn't get one of those either. Tam and bloombloom88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Me, neither. The one that came with my iTaste VTR never worked right. It did, however, look great in my trash can! bloombloom88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloombloom88 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 So could the coil that comes with the tank be causing all of this? What about what I was told, is that correct with dual coil tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It could very well be the coil that came with the tank. Every Anyvape Davide mini I've bought (and it's probably near 20 of them now), the coil that came with the tank was junk. The rest of the coils, as well as replacement coils, all worked great, though. In my experience, dual coils go through juice much faster than single coils -- especially if the darned thing leaks -- it goes through juice even faster!

With using twice as much juice keep me from taking long drags, will it cause this "flooding" like I've been told? Or should I be able to vape like I do on my other single coil tanks?

Tam Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 You should be able to vape on it just like with a single coil without flooding, it shouldn't give you the type of trouble like what you're experiencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloombloom88 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Great! Guess I'll be buying a new coil and give it another shot. Thanks for the help! I'll report back and let everybody in this thread know if it fixed my problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I have a thought that may help. Can you please post a pic of the coil as I don't want to give advice without seeing the coil head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compenstine Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ok yes this may work and it is a quick fix that may help. Take a small amount of cotton roll it up (Not tight) and wrap it all the way around the coil head and fill in the grove where you see the wicks coming out. Add some juice to it so in will prime it and help hold it in place. Carefully screw it back in and see if it still leaks. The KPT heads have silicon cap that helps hold things in place. if you can tuck the ends in some how it will help it stay in place. You don't want it coming loose and floating in the tank.

bloombloom88 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 This head doesn't have that silicone cap like my kanger tanks do, so what's the best way to keep the cotton from moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Because I don't have one in hand I really don't know. If you can with a toothpick or paperclip, tuck it in where the other wicks are coming out that may work. Does it have a removable chimney like a KPT? If so tuck the ends in like an added flavor wick. It doesn't take much to keep it in place just be mindful of the orig wicks. Edited April 2, 2014 by Compenstine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compenstine Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yes, look at the pictures in this thread: The ribbed piece you see in the first pic (second in from the right) is the the chimney of a kpt coil head. When you remove it you can see the coil in the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloombloom88 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 That knurled part should be a "press fit" see if you can rock it off (sorry to butt in) I'm assuming it does not come apart, if it does it's REALLY pressed on there.

yeroc1982 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yeah those tanks are junk. Had a brand new one when I bought my svd, worked good for 1 tank then leaked like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeroc1982 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Only tank system I can count on now is kayfun! The flavor is amazing and NEVER leaks. But it's not for beginners. Lots of small piece's and you would need to read up on building coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
