Hello Marie,
It could be a flooding problem, your atomizer is full of juice.
Have you tried to blow it through?
You blow through it from the battery end with a soft paper tissue inserted in the tank end (instead of tank)
Blow until paper is dry. after that take a few colddraws, that is draw 2-3 time without pressing the button.
Does it stop leaking after awhile or does it continue all the time?

Hi Marie, Wow.. if the fluid is coming out to that extent.. that's a pretty serious leak which I've never encountered with a T Tank before?!  Usually, when the cap is on.. even if you turn an unconnected Tank upside down,, you dont actually get fluid run out of it to that sort of extent? The only ideas I can think of would initially be an issue with the cap of the Tank itself. Either that the hole in the Tanks cap has got too big.. which happens after prolonged use (TW sell a little bag of spare Tank caps) or that the cap is not clicked propely onto the Tank? Failing that, I would think that either the tank is not pressed fully onto the Spike or the last option, would be an actual crack in the atomiser itself?  I know that these might sound lke really basic suggestions.. so apologies if it seems like I'm stating the obvious!  but a leak that large makes me think that it would have to be something quite fundamental? Did it just start doing that all of a sudden? Hope you can find a solution here soon anyway.  |

ehm.. Am I missing something here.
"oozing out" I interpret this as very little is coming out?
Like sweat coming out of the skin...

Hi Knoton, Nope, I don't think you're missing anything at all? To be honest, it's difficult to tell from the description just what sort of Volume Maria is meaning, I agree that the attie is likely flooded either way. If it is just a small amount every now and again, then it should hopefully be easily resolved with your suggestions. However, if it's coming/oozing out from the button and the band in any quantity.. then I think we are talking about quite a big amount of fluid getting lost? . So I just thought I would add a contrasting option for her, so that if a blow through doesn't clear it, then she would have additional options available to consider? Just trying to cover all the bases for her..That's all. No cause to man the Lifeboats! |

Well, I tried everything suggested and it is now NOT leaking  Not sure what it was but blew thru, reapplied the little plug, and all is well. Thanks so very much for all your help! BTW, how often do I need to change the filter abd plug that holds the liquid? |

Hi Marie, So I think I may have called you Maria in my previous post.. My apologies.. I had an early start and hadn't entirely woken up! As for as the Tank caps go.. I think Knoton has pretty much covered it. It is one of those things that once you have been Vaping With the Tanks for a while.. You kinda just get a feel for when they need changing.. You can tell that the seal is not as tight.. Mine start to whistle and all the local dogs in the area begin to gather at my door!  The easiest way for now, is to order a pack of spares, and then as Knoton has said, just have a look and compare it to a new one from time to time when refilling your tank. Glad your got it sorted anyway! |
