Is the leaky squonk tube a common problem ?

[vaporsizer]

G'day apes. I recently bought my first squonk mod & atty. The Darwin mods squonk1 & a NARDA clown.

It's good, very good but now I get liquid in the bottle well every time I use it. I'm just wondering if this is a common gripe with squonkers & if there is a known source of quality tube Which doesn't weep at the tube junction.
Fed up of getting liquid on my fingers when I'm out & about.

Anyone know ? Cheers, blessings.

You mean you get juice on the outside of the bottle.
It's a connection issue, just make sure you have the correct size of tubing or use a small piece of appropriately sized tubing as a gasket over the 510 metal pipe before attaching the bottle tube.
Over-enthusiastic squeezing of the bottle might be a factor, especially if out and about so not paying full attention, I often over-squonk when I'm out and in conversation

Cheers. I reckon any silicon tube is going to degrade eventually & loose its grip. I would expect to have to replace bottle & tube from time to time.
I'll get some more tube, see how that goes.

Last tubing I bought was food/beer approved from here:

I can vouch for the Mannikon Tube. [emoji16]
What have I said about over squeezing your squonk [emoji6]

Just gonna say, I don't over squeeze my bottle. If it can't keep up then it isn't up to the job, hardware fault. I do like my hassle free vaping & before I bought this mod I had no issues with my d rippers & mech set up. As it goes, if the squonk turns out to be a Pita then I will go back to my tried & trusted.
I'm willing to try new tube & if the leak returns then I will offer the mod to the ocean ;-) I only talk about vaping when vaping is a bug. If I'm quiet then all's well in my vape world.
