Leaking Ego-C?

[exisle]

Hello

There's been a lot of discussion here about leaking problems - probably not just with the Ego-C, but with the tank design generally?
I sometimes also find, at the join between the tank and the cone that it's wet!  After some research online, I came across these two possible solutions provided by two American vapers.  I haven't tried them myself yet, but wanted to get this up here while I had a quiet moment:

The first deals with the end cap itself, on the tank:

And this deals with how the tank is re-attached after filling (he describes it at about 4' 30"):

Whether both or either one solves the leaking will have to be tested - fingers crossed!  If anyone can't view these videos, I'll post a summary. Finally, apologies to anyone who has already posted these (possible?) solutions, but I couldn't find them on here.

tbh i dont think this can ever be 100% prevented on this system. It works by liquid flowing from a hole in the cart with a hard or soft cap. The hard caps will never have a tight enough seal around the spike to prevent leakage. The soft ones can do but as mentioned on here only work best when pre punched before use.

when the cart is running nearly empty the negative pressure on the liquid is lost and gravity lets the remaining liquid empty with relative ease. When this happens you end up with a semi flooded atty.

The atty has a hole in the moddle to prevent the coil being submerged in liquid and lowering performance. When this happens the liquid leaks out the air inlets like described.

Some mods have lessened the flow of liquid in circumstances which has lessened the leaking.

but by design if you use thin liquids like the titan range it seems there will always be a little leakage.

Not a huge problem however when they work and perform generally very well.

Personally, I find the best way to avoid leaks is to change at least the end cap on the cartridge regularly (once ever few days) - Since I started doing that, I haven't had any leaks at all with my Tornado-C

If you get juice leaking then it's usually down to the way you draw on it. These run off of negitive pressure. Slow drags is the way to go, 3-5 seconds. Hard draws make too muh negitive pressure and pulls too much juice down to the coil causing flooding. The hole in the cap can also get wider as times goes on letting juice flow down beside the spike and causes flooding. These are the two major reasons they flood. Many moons of testing and that's what it comes down to.

Taking too hard of a drag gets overlooked very easily. Most people think they are puffing very softly because they are comparing It to analog drags. Even if you think you draws are slow enough just try it slower. Don't start the drag with a sharp hit either. "Slow and even".

If you get a burnt taste do the opposite right away. Take a sharp fast draw to pull more juice down.
