Aspire K1 with BVC 1.6 Ohm - Leaking

[Frontwave]

Hello all, using this setup with some (edited) E-juice. It's fairly thick stuff but meant to be used in these tanks. I put 1ml in this tank. Had 2 different types so used 2 different tanks. 1 ml in each. Worked great for about half the tank. Went to use it and it seemed like the stuff was leaking out into the joint between the battery and the tank. Did this on BOTH setups. Had another tank I used, not as nice flavor and smaller clouds but it doesn't leak. All I want is a quality setup that does not leak. I'm not looking for huge clouds (edited) At over $25 per ml it's expensive stuff to lose due to leaks !! Any ideas here folks? Any recommendations ?

Make sure your coil is screwed in good. Where are you paying over 25.00 per ml?

I use a K1 tank for my tobacco flavored juice and will sometimes notice the battery wet when taking the tank off that I just wipe off. How bad is your leaking?

Well, it's a pretty good price considering what it is...........(edited)
I screw in the coil quite tight for sure. I read in another thread someone said you shouldn't screw it in hard, but only until it makes contact plus a quarter turn sorta thing but that makes no sense to me, seems a good tight connection is best. I also read that this tank likes to be full all the time, that once it's half empty you need to refill again. I'm starting to think I need to find an alternative......I also hate the small area where you need to load the juice in.......(edited)

Funny how my cheaper one works fine.....

It seemed like I lost a fair amount, I had about .75 ml left and when I went to use it again the next morning half of that had leaked out. I take care to always leave them upright at all times too......

Maybe a Forum dedicated to that topic would be best ?
Hope you get your leaking figured out

Sounds odd to leak that much with thick juice when your not even using it. Sure you didnt lose a O ring or something?

That kind of "juice" probably doesn't say on the bottle it came in.................

I use K1's when I need to go dark to vape. Never had one leak that bad although the top of the battery will have a drop on it by the time I need to refill. I too stand them over night and they have never leaked down that far. Is the tank or bottom ring getting wet or just the battery top?
