Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and I've searched everywhere for a solution but cant find one. When I woke up today I noticed after I filled my tank it just keeps draining and then leaking. I'm wasting a stupid amount of juice. I'll hit it four or five times and after about an hour the tank is empty and it's leaking like mad. I've already made sure the chimney oring is not past the threads. This is driving me insane considering I just quit smoking and my vape is being super difficult. I replaced the coil because I thought it might be the coil and still nothing. Can ANYBODY help me please?

Which coil are you using, if it's leaking that bad I would make sure all the o rings are intact, if you are in fact leaking this much the only logical thing would be a missing o ring.

Where is all the juice leaking out of?

I'm using a triple coil with the fuchai temp control and im hitting at 100w if that makes a difference. It's leaking out of the bottom tank air holes. I'm confused as hell right now because I think all the o-rings are there but I don't know if one is missing because I don't know what was there before. It worked flawlessly for like a week or so and just today it's being difficult as hell.

Its also making a flooding sound too sometimes but Ill blow out all the juice and keep wiping it up when it spills out air holes until it doesn't make that sound but I'll wait about 10 minutes and my liquid in the tank will go down and it makes the flooding sound again and if I tilt it side to side a couple times it'll start leaking.

Only oring I could think of that it would be leaking that bad out of the air holes would be the one at the top of the chimney that seals the top of the coil, other than that mayby the big white washer type seal is not seated all the way, hmmmmm maybe look at some pics online and see if you can determine if your missing something, it really doesn't have much too it, missing any of the seals would be pretty obvious.

Do you think it could be negative air pressure from the white washer oring that I fill through?

The issue was the top white housing that seals the juice, the one I filled through. I guess it wasn't super snug so I replace and made sure to turn so the fill hole wasn't still open when I closed the cap. I think it was neg air pressure pushing the juice down through the coil causing the leak after time. All is well now that I replaced it though. It wasn't the chimney Oring but it seems like that's most peoples issue
