5 solutions to stop your vape tank from leaking

If you are an avid vaper you may find yourself frustrated as you try to stop your vape tank from leaking. This is a common problem that has lots of causes, most of which are easily fixed. So if your vape tank is leaking check out the 5 simple solutions below or find a specialist like this vape shop in London who can advise you on what to do.

1. You bought a cheap vape kit

When you first decide to start vaping instead of smoking cigarettes you more than likely bought a really cheap vape kit. Like almost anything, you get what you pay for and if your vape tank has started to leak then it could be that it is time to replace it. Look at something like the Aspire Zelos Kit UK for a good quality, stylish vape.

2. Filling the tank incorrectly

Although the instruction leaflets are really clear about not getting the e-liquid in the chimney of your vape it is very common. If this happens you must take the time to clean it out properly before vaping. You also need to make sure you do not overfill your vape tank and that you always leave a gap at the top to prevent leaks.

3. Keep your tank vertical

Some vapes are not constructed to be able to be laid down and the vaping liquid can leak out of the air holes. If this is what happens to your vape then it is a good idea to take your vape tank out when charging or when you need to lay your vape down for long periods of time.

4. Clean your vape tank

Keeping your vape tank clean is really important to prevent leaks. The easiest way to maintain your tank is to take it apart and wash it in cold water, leave it to dry and then put it back together. If you can do this between each refill or at least once a week that will really help. You may have to do a deep clean if you frequently change flavours.

5. Cracked or damaged tank

If your tank is still leaking then it is a good idea to check for cracks or other damage. A small crack in the glass will mean the tank is no longer airtight which causes a leak. It is easy and cheap to get a replacement but if you need help then most of the vape shops will be able to help you to change these and find the right replacement part.

Hopefully, these tips will help you to fix any leaks that you may have but if you are still having problems then head to your nearest vape shop where they can offer you some advice. The other option would be to use a vape that takes cartridges instead. You will alao need to ensure that you are using the correct sized vape cartridge. If your vape uses a vape cartridge 1ml in size then you don’t want to accidentally get the wrong size and be unable to use it.
