Bit of a newbie sorry in advance!!

[DjDoc]

We even left ours on its side fully filled overnight to try and make it leak, not a single drop!

Same here, as said watch a thick nozzle hasn't loosened the rubber seal on top and juice is going under into middle airflow channel

it just comes out the bottom the coil and it goes straight through the air hole under the tank and then out the air hole in the bottom..

this is how I woke up and found mine one morning, sat in a puddle ... (sorry for the blurry pic) All I can suggest is change the coil, the coil I was using before this was fine, this one just wouldn't stop flooding during use and leaking overnight.... and of course the bottom of the tank is effectively the coil itself, so if you have a leaky coil this will happen.

That is exactly as mine is

hope it gets sorted as when it works its a great kit.
@JAC Vapour are very active on the forum but as its the weekend you might not get an immediate reply.

Great thanks hopefully can get resolved as had high hopes

Welcome to the forum, and sorry ofr the delay. The VIM is a pretty simple device and it can only really leak for a few reasons. The picture you showed is a substainila leak, and the main reasons I have seen that happen are:

turning the tank anti-clockwise to remove - the tank should always be turned clockwise, if you turn anti-clockwise to remove the tank, whiich, is the natural thing to do, over time the mouth tip (topcap) will loosen, this releases the pressure in the tank, and it will leak.

The next thing is the fill holes are designed for a needle nose bottle, using a thick nozzle can move the seal and if you're not careful it can be over the chimney when filling, then floods straight out the bottom of the tank, you can fill it thicker nozzles if you are careful, but I would suggest using a thinner one around 3mm or less

the other thing that can cause leaking is the coil not seated correctly, make sure it screwed in fully and over filling but these are fairly obvious..

You can basically test, by taking the tank out, filling it carefully with a needle nose bottle and then replacing the topcap making sure it is fully screwed down, then leave to sit overnight, if there is an issue with the tank the flooding will still occur. The level to whihc it floods is telling, if floods to the top of the coil, that suggests a problem with the seal between the coil and chimney, it it floods right down (the hole tank) then it's a problem with the seal of the coil. If it doesn't flood, it's one of the issues above and something being done in use.

If you could do the following test, then we'll pretty much know the issue and be able to suggest what to do, and if a fault we'll replace the unit.

Thank u that’s really helpful. I use a needle nose nozzle so that’s def not the issue. I shall check the rest today. Literally only filled it once and only tried using it for a day. And because of the problems have gone back to my old vape. Will try what you have suggested and get back to you. Thanks again

Ive been using my vim in rotation for about six weeks now with no leaks at all,
Took it on holiday and used it on the plane both ways (for testing reasons only[emoji12] )and can confirm that it did not leak at altitude.
Have just ordered another for a friend whos trying to quit.
Great device!!

How did you get on?

Hello and welcome to POTV

 

[Rhian]

How did you get on?

I tried all of the above and still leaking from the bottom. I emptied vape completely and seems to be leaking from bottom
