Of all the different problems that can happen to your vaporizer, a leaking vape is definitely one of the most annoying. While e-liquid is certainly more affordable these days than it used to be, it certainly isn't cheap—and you don't want to miss out on one if you can avoid it. Leaking vape can also be incredibly messy if you accidentally spill vape juice in your pocket or on your desk. Needless to say, this is a situation you definitely want to avoid – and in this article, we have some tips to help you do just that. Each type of vaporizer leaks for slightly different reasons, which means your approach to troubleshooting should vary depending on which one you use. With that in mind, we're splitting this article into three parts that explain how to fix a leaking vapor tank, room system, or disposable vaporizer. Before we dive in, let's talk about some of the more common reasons why vaporizers leak.
Why do vaporizers leak?
There are many different types of vaporizers on the market today. However, before we discuss how to solve leakage problems with specific types of vapes, we would like to talk about the topic more generally, as all vaporizers leak for the same reasons. They are as follows. Every vape tank or tank has a weak vacuum inside the tank to help prevent vape juice from leaking through the seams or leaking through the atomizer coils. A vacuum cannot be created if the housing or container has broken seals or misaligned parts. Also, a vacuum cannot occur if the tank or container is filled to the top and there is no room for air. Each vape tank or pad is designed to work with a certain viscosity of e-liquid. Most vape juices on the market are moderately thick to work well with different vaping devices. However, some very thin e-liquids may not work well in vape tanks with very wide core openings. A vacuum in a steam tank or container can be broken when there is an internal or external change in air pressure. This usually happens because you blew too hard on the device and exceeded its ability to control airflow, but it can also happen due to changes in external air pressure. For example, if you carry a vaporizer up a hill, the change in air pressure will likely force some of the vapor juice out of the device's tank or capsule. There's no control over this, so it's generally wise to make sure your device is only half full if you're going to spend the day at altitude.
Why Is My Vape Tank Leaking?
If you have a leaking vapor, the first thing you need to do is make sure the e-liquid you are using is suitable for your device. If you're using a large sub-ohm tank - and your coil has very wide core holes - you'll usually want to use a thicker vape juice. Most e-liquids use a combination of PG and VG as a base. VG is the thicker of the two liquids, meaning that an e-liquid that contains more VG will be thicker than one that contains mostly PG. If you're using a sub-ohm vape tank, you should generally fill it with vape juice that contains at least 50 percent VG. Thinner e-liquid can permeate the wick, flood the coil and leak from the vents at the bottom of the tank. If you often hear a buzzing sound while vaping, it's likely that your e-liquid is too thin. Once you are sure that the e-liquid you are using is the right thickness for your tank, the next step is to take the tank apart and take a closer look. Follow these steps to find a possible problem with the tank. Disassemble the tank completely by separating the top and bottom metal parts and removing the coil. Rinse and dry the components. Check all the rubber seals on the tank to see if any are broken or stretched out of place. If the guard appears damaged, remove and replace. Most steam tanks have replacement seals that are perfect for this purpose. If you can't find a damaged gasket, don't worry - maybe the tank just leaked because the components were misaligned. Assemble the tank slowly and carefully, making sure all the threads are lined up correctly. All parts of the tank should screw together easily. If any of the components are difficult to turn, the threads are probably crossed. Take them again and try twisting them again until they turn evenly. If the tank continues to leak after assembly, try replacing the coil. it is possible that the coil you are using has a manufacturing problem.
Why is my Pod system leaking?
A typical vape tank has a large hole at the top and several large airflow holes at the bottom. When you think about it, it's really surprising that leaky vape tanks are so rare. However, compared to tanks, vape pods are even more compact. It's rare that you'll encounter a leaking steam pad - and yet it does happen from time to time. Note that while we're talking about leaking vape pods, it's important to remember that there's nothing to worry about unless you remove the unit from the unit and find a large amount of e-liquid underneath. It is normal for moisture to be found at the bottom of the barrel and can be easily removed with cotton. If you find a large leak in your pod system, follow these steps to fix it. When filling the tank, do not try to fill it completely - always leave an empty space. If you don't leave
