I believe that every e-cigarette player will encounter a variety of problems about e-cigarettes, especially oil leakage, believe me. There's nothing more depressing than that. Not only is it a hassle to clean up, but it's also tragic to watch so much precious vape go to waste!

One thing that should be kept in mind is that during the use of e-cigarettes, anything can happen. But most of this is directly related to your usage habits. Oil leakage problems sometimes occur, not only affecting the use of the experience, but also can cause damage to the equipment. Understanding the causes of oil spills and how to prevent them can help us effectively avoid them. Here are some common causes of e-cigarette oil leakage and corresponding solutions.

Why is my e-cigarette leaking oil?

If e-liquid is leaking from your device, don't panic. If you are an old e-cigarette player, you should know that this is a situation that we often encounter. It could be pumping out of the charging port, or it could be a suction nozzle, a gap in the housing, etc. The good news is that it should be fairly easy to diagnose and fix the problem. If you're not sure why your e-cigarette is leaking and you want to fix the problem as soon as possible, here are several possible explanations and how to remedy it.

leakproofness deficiency

Many e-cigarette kits and tanks are sealed. But over time. The seal may be damaged or broken by wear or over-tightening. Causing the tank to leak. Then before you know it, the e-cigarette liquid will leak everywhere!

Solution: Check and replace the sealing ring regularly, avoid using the aging sealing components for a long time, and ensure that the overall sealing of the electronic cigarette is good.

The e-liquid overfills

To accurately identify the cause of electronic cigarette leakage, the best way is to start with excessive liquid addition. So far, the main cause of e-cigarette leakage is that users inject too much e-cigarette liquid into the liquid storage tank. When the tank is overfilled, the coil will be flooded, causing the e-cigarette liquid to flow out of the nozzle. In addition, a full fuel tank may also compromise the tightness of the equipment.

Workaround: Most tanks have recommended filling lines to help users avoid overfilling. Therefore, if the liquid exceeds the filling line, it is likely to be the cause of e-cigarette leakage.

The effect of temperature and air pressure

Changes in ambient temperature or pressure can cause oil spills. Under high temperature conditions, the viscosity of the fume oil will be reduced, which makes it easier to flow and leak through the airway. In environments with significant changes in air pressure, such as on an aircraft, oil may be "squeezed out" by pressure differences.

Solution: In a high temperature environment, avoid placing e-cigarettes in direct sunlight; When taking a vehicle with a large change in air pressure, such as an airplane, it is recommended to reduce the amount of oil in the equipment, or store the oil tank separately from the atomizer.

Coil usage problem

The resistance value of each type of e-cigarette coil is not necessarily the same, and some will be used for specific devices. Please check that your e-cigarette fits the coil. Otherwise the liquid may not evaporate properly. It should also be noted that the coil used for a long time is comfortable with failure or close to its life. It is also possible that excess soot in the coil cannot be converted into smoke. Once the excess fluid builds up, it will begin to leak through the stomata or drip nozzle.

Solution: Periodically check that the coil you are using is suitable for your device. If they don't fit, replace them immediately and hopefully your e-cigarette will no longer leak oil.

Use inappropriate e-liquids

As with the coil, it is also important to use the right vape for the device. E-liquids have different VG and PG grades. If you are using a sub-ohmic device, then ideally you should be using 70/30 liquid. The reason for this is that the higher the viscosity of the consistency, the better for the thinner coil. If you mistakenly use 50/50 e-vape with a sub-ohm kit, the thinner liquid is likely to spill and start leaking.

Solution: For Ohm + devices, stick to 50/50 e-liquids, while Ohm below kits should be paired with thicker liquids such as 70/30 e-liquids. If you are unsure, please contact us and we will be happy to advise you on which e-vape to buy for your device.
