Innokin Cool Fire Plus IV Storm Edition Leaking

[Joanna1968]

Hello vaping community I am after some help and advice. Just purchased a sub ohm starting kit as above; and it keeps leaking from the air holes. Not much but enough to get messy and annoying. It seems to happen if I lie it down on it's side. I have read loads of things on different forums about the juice I should be using (currently 70/30 cut with 100 VG fluid) and changing the "O" rings. I have only had this two weeks and as I brought it from Amazon I can return it. Should I just return it? And if so which kit for a starter would you recommend? I would like a sub ohm - not bothered about massive vapour clouds - just no leakage like with my Kangertech Aero tank and Evod battery. Any advice would be very much appreciated. I love my Storm Edition Cool Fire Plus IV but I hate the LEAKING! Really disappointed. Look forward to hearing from anyone on here. Thank you in advance.

Well, tanks of any sort might have issues if left on their side for a long period of time. While you did check your o-rings and juice (which is probably not the issue) did you put in a new coil and assure it was tightened down, but not overtightened, as in you have trouble removing it?

howdy - and welcome! echoing Eskie, two things come to mind - one, ideally, you don't generally want to lay it on it's side... two, overtightening coils tends to be major cause of leaking in tanks - there is a small o-ring under the base of the coil, above the threads - if you over tighten, it will deform this o-ring, allowing leakage - when you tighten coil, do it finger firm, which is to say snug but not cranked down

The question is what sort of tank does it come with. Guessing it's an iSub (an incarnation of) then generally they are sound. Lying any tank on it's side is less than ideal mind you. Afaik it's a sub tank for fairly cloudy vaping so maybe it's not for you. The Coolfire is a great mod regardless and worst case stick a nice lower power tank on it.

Welcome and glad you joined. RDA's here only. Tanks are PITA's.
