Vapefly Galaxies MTL RTA leaking problem

[Illmatar]

Greeting fellow vapers!
I have bought a Vapefly Galaxies MTL RTA last tuesday, and the first day was fine and all, and the next day I fill up the tank and half of it spills out through the airflow! I'm at loss here, tried wicking it twice, used both stock coil that comes with the kit (26 ga ni80, 2.5mm, 10 warps) and another coil (fused clapton n80 28ga x2 + 40ga, 3mm, 6 warps) I had also replaced all the o-rings, changed the glass type, tried different wattage and 2 different e-juices with 50-50 and 70-30 and lastly tried to fill the tank with closed airflows, then turnin it upside down before tightening (which made juice spill a bit from the driptip) and yet nothing helped! the tank immediately spills without even closing the top..HEEELLP

Sounds under wicked or maybe a damaged o ring. There’s got to be an air seal malfunction somewhere

Well I did write I replaced all the o-rings with new ones that I checked for damage and I'll try a new wick material tho I'm doubtful it's that..

Not the type, the amount. The hole has to be filled with wick to make a gs seal. What diameter is your coil? It may be so small that you can’t get enough wick into it

Are you putting juice down the chamber or in the tank?

Well..this is a bit of a beginner question? I mean did you read all the stuff I already tried? you would assume that someone who tried all the common fixes for leaking would know where to fill his juice..

I had to ask. It's a tank right? The glass is usually clear. If you can see what's going on what happens? Does it just poor out of the wick slots or what?

Sounds like a wicking issue to me as well. I have simmilar issues with my moonshot rdta when it's not wicked right. Generally the first tank will be fine, but after it sits for a while it will dump juice all of the place. Rtas can be really great when they work, but many of them are picky about how they are set up.

If this is your first RTA I'm going to say it's probably the wicking. Honestly. I certainly would check the connections, the O rings and whatnot, but then watch some youtube reviews on the RTA they are often a good source for "how to wick without leaks."

Unless you have wicked a thousand RTAs, and it's not really a new vaper but rather a new to the board question, well, I'm going to suggest some wicking tutorials.

Once I learned to wick right, I do not have leaking or seeping issues, regardless of if the tank is top airflow, bottom airflow whatever. I don't have that specific RTA and perhaps it is known to be a leaker or a difficult to wick tank, but if so you have to figure out how to deal with it, by whatever method, so that it's working right for you.
