A leaking tank can be annoying and rather inconvenient, there a few steps you can take to resolve this issue.
Check that you are using the correct juice for your tank
Using the wrong ratio of e-liquid for your preferred tank can mean that you may experience some issues with leaking. If you are using a more advanced tank with a larger coil, it is often preferable to use a high VG e-liquid (70/30 or higher) as these juices have a thicker consistency which is better suited for more powerful devices. Opting for a thinner liquid, such as a 50/50, can cause the coil to flood meaning that the juice can leak from the airflow or spit into the user’s mouth when using the device.
Ensure that your coil is fitted properly
When the coil is not inserted correctly, it can cause gaps to appear at the base of the tank where e-liquid can escape. If you are using a tank that has a screw in coil, ensure that the threads are correctly lined up and that the coil is secure (but not overtightened). If you are using a tank that requires a push fit coil, check that the coil is in alignment with the base of the tank and is sitting flush.
Check the condition of the seals and O rings
Sometimes the O rings that seal the gaps between the glass and the base of the tank can become brittle, misplaced or damaged. Check the condition of these seals and if you spot any damage, you can replace them with the spares that you will usually find in the box that came with the tank or device.
Check that the glass/pod is not damaged
Sometimes cracks can appear without the user noticing as they can often be very small. This can cause leakages but can be resolved by replacing the glass or pod.
Storing your device properly
When you are not using your device, it is important that you store it correctly to prevent it from leaking. Make sure that the device is turned off and sitting in an upright position where possible.
Why does my coil taste burnt?
There can be several reasons why your vape can taste burnt, here are some handy tips to follow so you can resolve this issue at home.
The coil needs replacing
More often than the not, the burning taste can be down to the coil reaching the end of its lifespan. This can happen at any time and can be easily fixed by switching the coil out for a new one.
The coil was not primed correctly
It is important to prime the coils properly to make sure that it wicks efficiently and that the cotton is fully saturated with e-liquid. To prime the coil, apply a few drops of juice to the inlets on the outside the coil (where the cotton is showing) and allow the new coil to sit for 5-10 minutes before the first use so it has time to absorb the juice. If you are using a variable wattage device, start at a lower setting and gradually increase the wattage over a few hours until you reach your preferred setting.
The juice may be too thick
If you are using a device that requires a smaller coil, it is preferable that you use a slightly thinner e-liquid ratio like a 50/50. If you are using a juice that is high VG (70/30 or higher), the coil does not have time to absorb the juice in between pulls which can cause the coil to burn out or produce dry hits.
The power setting may be too high for the coil
If you are using a variable wattage device, make sure that you have set the wattage in accordance with the recommended power setting that is printed on the side of coil (e.g. 45W-60W). Setting the power too high can cause the coil to burn out much quicker than expected as there is too much power being pushed through the device when it is being used.
Your tank may have run dry
It is important to keep your tank topped up with e-liquid to prevent the cotton inside the coil from becoming dry and burning out. A good rule of thumb is to always keep your tank around half full.
Chain vaping without a break
Especially with larger tanks, it is important that you leave approximately 5-10 seconds in between pulls to allow the coil enough time to reabsorb the juice which prevents the cotton from becoming dry and burning out the coil.
My device will not turn on
So that the device turns on as expected, check that it is fully charged and that you are turning it on as per the instructions in the user manual. If you are unable to find the solution at home, please visit one of our stores or get in touch with our Customer Service team on 020 3962 0965, at [email protected] or through the Live Chat feature on our website.
Broken glass/pod
Although cracks can be small and can be repaired temporarily using tape, it is important to replace the glass or pod as soon as possible. Cracks can affect the efficiency of the vacuum seal inside the tank/pod meaning that the damage can become worse or lead to excessive leaking. To purchase a replacement glass for your tank or a replacement pod, you can visit your local Evapo store or find them on our website.
Charging
As with any electrical item, it is important to ensure that you are charging your device safely and correctly. You can do this by carrying out the following steps:-
Do not leave your device on charge unattended or overnight.
Check that the charging cable and port is in good condition.
Make sure that you use the cable that came with the device.
If you are using a device that has a built-in battery, we recommend that you only charge the device through your laptop, game console, USB car charger or through a wall plug that runs at 1Amp or lower.
If you are using a high powered device that requires external batteries, we recommend that you use a separate battery bay to charge the batteries away from the device. This is the safest way to charge external batteries. This also contributes towards good battery health. To purchase a battery bay, you can visit your local Evapo store or find them on our website.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
