Every experienced vaper has encountered the problem of a leaking vape tank at least once in their vaping lifetime. The problem is even worse when you're not around to fix it in time. The majority of vape tanks leak as a result, a fault that results from the airflow control valve. However, it's important to note that a vape tank that leaks its e-juice content isn't defective. The leaking problem can be resolved without much effort or cost. In this article, you'll be provided with the best 4 tips on how to fix and maintain a leaking vape tank.

Tip #1: Ensure the Vape Tank is Filled in the Right Way

Improper filling of the vape tank is one of the leading causes of leakages. Vape tanks are designed with a central tube that extends from the coil up to the tank's mouthpiece. When the e-liquid gets inside the central tube, you will most certainly experience leakages. To avoid this, ensure that the e-juice does not enter the central tube during filling. You can avoid pouring the e-juice inside the central tube by tilting the tank. Tilting will make the e-juice to flow down the inner part of the tank without gaining access to the central tube. As the vape tank fills up, straighten the tank slowly to prevent the e-juice from spilling out. You should also avoid overfilling the vape tank to allow a vacuum to hold the liquid inside the tank.

Tip #2: Ensure that Every Component of the Vape Tank is Properly Tightened

The e-liquid is also likely to leak from the vape tank when the various elements are not properly tightened. The leakage may occur through the gaps between the coil and the base of the atomizer. Leakage can also take place through the gaps between the base of the atomizer and vape tank. You should make sure that the gaps are completely sealed to prevent the tank from leaking its contents. However, you should be careful not to over-tighten as this could lead to the damage of the O-rings. The O-rings are tiny rubbers that are essential to attaining a perfect seal.

Tip #3: Ensure the Coils You're Using are the Correct Ones for the E-Liquid

Most vape tanks are bought with replaceable coils that have different degrees of resistance. The coils are designed to perform different tasks. Coils with a higher resistance are designed with smaller juice holes. The small juice holes are suitable for Propylene Glycol liquids since they can flow smoothly. When a higher vegetable glycerin is used in this coils, it may end up clogging the coil. The vegetable glycerin liquid vaporizes readily at a higher temperature. The coil cannot evaporate the liquid efficiently resulting and this may lead to excess juice problems. The excess juice inside the vape tank may cause a leakage. A higher vegetable glycerin liquid should be used with low resistance coils. The coils have larger holes that will allow the thicker liquid to flow smoothly.

Tip #4: Maintain Your O-Rings

The O-rings are rubber components that prevent leakage of the e-juice from the vape tank. As already mentioned, the O-rings can be damaged through over-tightening the tank's components. Besides over-tightening, the O-rings can also get degraded or displaced over time. They may also be damaged when you first purchase them. It is advisable to check the O-rings on a regular basis to prevent the e-juice from leaking. Unscrew the various parts of the vape tank and check the rubber rings if they are in the right state.

Leaking liquid from the vape tank is a common problem that most vapers have experienced. However, the problem can be minimized by ensuring proper maintenance of the various components of the tank. You should follow the best practices whenever you're using it.
