cany Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Im new too vaping and picked up a starter kit from a local Vape shop I have an ego C twist with a kanger tech tank. I started getting juice in the tip and it was also going into the battery. The shop cleaned it up gave me a new tank and I just noticed its happening again. The tanks not over filled Am I doing something wrong??
Tam Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Take the tank off the battery. Using either a Q-tip or a corner of a tissue, lightly dab the connection end of the battery to get the juice out. Then, hold the tissue loosely at the bottom part of the tank (the part that connects to the battery), and blow GENTLY into the mouthpiece. That will help clear the center tube. Dab the tissue into the bottom of the tank to dry the juice that came out, replace onto your battery and you should be good to go. It happens to most tanks -- at least a little. If you're getting more than a little bit of juice leaking, I'd change the coil. If that doesn't do it, I'd get a different tank. Kanger Pro Tank/Pro Tank mini are good, solid performers.
cany Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks TAM, The whole setup is brand new(2nd tank) I havent used 1/4 of a bottle of juice thru it yet. The top of batt was almost full of juice and the mouth piece had quite a bit in it. The second tank they gave me this past Friday but it dodnt seem to help. Should I not be laying the vape on its side ??
Tam Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 With most tanks, laying it on its side usually isn't a problem although that might be with that particular one. Did you also check to make sure the coil inside the tank was finger tight? You don't want to over tighten it because that tends to squish out the O-rings, which would also cause leaks. Finger tight is good enough.
cany Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 The guy at the store made sure it was tight when he gave it to me and I rechecked it when I noticed the leak before it was still tight
Tam Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I'd try keeping it upright to see if you still have the same leakage. Use a short glass or a toothbrush holder to keep it upright so you don't tip it over. Let us know how it goes.
cany Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) I will thanks if that works then I gotta find adifferent tank that I can lay on its side cause there aint no way I can keep straight up all the time lol Edited February 23, 2015 by cany
cany Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Well I had it upright all night put it in my pocket on a slight angel in way too work took a few hits on the way when I got to work there was juice on the battery again and in the mouth piece
gag8tor Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 What model of Kanger is it? I had a couple of their tanks that were supposed to be the latest and greatest thing and they all leaked like a screen door. I personally will never purchase another Kanger product again. You shouldn't have to tinker with things to make them work like they should brand new out of the box.
gag8tor Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I would recommend going back to the shop and get them to exchange the tank for an Aspire ET-S. These things are spot on. They work better than advertised are inexpensive and the coils last.
cany Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 It says Kanger tech EVOD on the tank Im definatly going back to the shop tonight I cant use it like this anymore
Tam Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Sorry to hear your tank is still misbehaving. Personally, I prefer the Kanger Pro Tanks or the Pro Tank minis. They're great work horses and the coils are very inexpensive. The only thing you have to watch out for is the Pyrex glass tank, you have to be careful that you don't knock it around or drop it because it will break. Because it's glass you don't have to be careful of what flavor juice you use in it (some juices are known as tank crackers). Just a thought.
Compenstine Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I would have to agree with Tam on this one. The EVODs are the cheaper starter tanks. The EVOD batteries work well, but the EVOD Tanks are leaky. I did use one to test it out and like you I had lots of leaking issues with it.
cany Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks for the replys/help Im not even into vaping for a week and Im already gonna have to start upgrading lol
Tam Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 That's the nature of vaping. There's always something shiny just around the corner!
fishguy1123 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 The basic EVODs have a clear, non removable drip tip and will always have droplets of moisture showing. All drip tips have this, it's just that you can see it on the clear ones. This is normally condensation from the vapor. That same condensation can slowly over night build up on the top of your battery since base of the coil head has an air hole in it where it makes connection with the battery. Any chance you can post a pic of the areas you see juice leaking?
cany Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 I can get pics next time it happens but its filling the mouth piece and the whole top of the battery area
fishguy1123 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Ok, I think the pics might help us gauge whether it's normal or not for what you're seeing with that tank. Do you actually "taste" the juice in the drip tip? Does it make a gurgling sound when you try to use it like that?

I taste it and hear the "Gurgling" sound thats when I usualy know the tip/batt are filling up
cany Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Ok I did a little digging on the net about this and found a blog on it. The poster found an issue with the silicone cup washer that seals off the center tube He flipped the cup washer over so the cup part actually goes over the center tube. He said this worked on one of his EVODs but not the other. On the other one he left the silicone washer as is but installed a second one with the cup facing twords the tube and this fixed the problem. Im trying to figure out how too post pics of it Edited February 23, 2015 by cany
jeanrose770 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I was having that same issue for a while. I have started to keep my mod standing straight up when Im not using it. The guy at the Vape Shop told me that when the Liquid gets in to the Atomizer, thats when it can come through the tip and into your mouth. Does not taste very good at all! Much better in Vapor Form.
cany Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Here is the cup/washer the one on top in its original position all I did was take it off and install it back on flipped over the cupside now goes over the tube in the center of the tank Edited February 23, 2015 by cany
fishguy1123 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Yes, I've heard of that method before. If it works then go for it. Just keep in mind that you will always get a little liquid build up on the top of your battery with this style tank over time.
cany Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Wel so far so good it seems to be working
lintz69 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 You have to be careful with different ecigs. Some are better than the others. Read reviews, and try a different setup.
