Everything is leaking from the damn airhole

My orchids, my kayfuns, all have decided tonight to weep from their airholes.

Its not constant, if I'm vaping on them, they are fine. But when I put them down for 10 mins then pick them up again, I get a small flow from the airhole.

Orchids have 80/20 vg/pg juice in them, kayfuns have 50/50

All 2mm coils, all muji wicks, don't normally have this problem.

Is there a general reason for leaks from airholes?
Coil too low or wick issues?

Can't put up pics of builds at this moment as all are at least half full, but it's the same wicking method I have used without problems over the last year :what:
 
I generally rewick when it happens. Might be just the wick, might be the seals. I just strip down to the coil and redo
 
You haven't put them all on a radiator that's on full blast have you? I've done it with one and the heat must have thinned the liquid and it became leak city!
Either that or you need a priest to carry out an Exorcism
 
With orchids if using tiny coils you need the tiniest piece of wick in each of the juice channels, don't pack them tight though.

if using bigger coils try and fan out the wick slightly and rest on top of the juice channels, bigger coils = more wick to mop up the juice.

Kayfuns i wouldn't touch with an Ebola infested donkey dick, couldn't get on with them so no help there i'm afraid.
 
Sounds like gremlins to me, try leaving a pair of socks in the washing machine to distract them whilst you rewick ;)
 
Yes, bit then he will lose one sock !

Nah I reckon they would just lurk in range of the washing machine, they don't like to be obvious they wait until you have a full load to confuse the issue. You would have to make sure you weren't rewicking in the kitchen though, then it might not work.
 
Sounds more like that you're losing vacuum....once your tanks are empty, check your o'rings....if you lose vacuum you'll get a leak.
