How to Stop Your Vape from Leaking: Top 5 Easy Fixes

The Annoyance of a Leaking Vape

There is nothing more frustrating than reaching into your pocket or picking up your device, only to find it covered in sticky e-liquid. A leaking vape is a common issue, but fortunately, it is almost always easily fixable. Here are the top 5 easy fixes to stop your vape from leaking.

1. Check Your Coil and O-Rings

The most common cause of leaking is a poorly seated or old coil. Make sure your vape coil is screwed in tightly (but do not over-tighten). Also, inspect the small rubber seals (O-rings) around the coil and tank base. If they are damaged or missing, they will not create a vacuum seal, leading to leaks.

2. Fill It Correctly

When filling your tank or pod, leave a small pocket of air at the top. Filling it 100% full can break the internal vacuum, pushing e-liquid out through the airflow holes. Also, make sure you are pouring the liquid into the fill port, not the central chimney.

3. Use the Right E-Liquid for Your Coil

Using a thin e-liquid (high PG) in a powerful sub-ohm tank designed for thick liquid (high VG) will almost guarantee leaks. Conversely, thick liquid in a small pod system will cause dry hits. Match your e-liquid to your device.

4. Adjust Your Vaping Technique

If you inhale too forcefully on a low-powered device, you can physically pull e-liquid directly into the coil faster than it can vaporize it. This causes flooding and leaking. Try taking smoother, longer draws instead of sharp, hard pulls.

5. Keep Your Device Upright

Vape tanks are designed to resist leaking when standing upright. Leaving your device lying flat on a table or loose in a bag for extended periods can cause e-liquid to seep through the airflow control ring.
