I’ve been trying different ways to keep juice out of my mods since the get go.
This past week i’m trying a new method. I put a small o-ring around my 510 connection of my tanks to create a seal in order to prevent juice from going down into my mods. As long as the o-ring is not too thick, I still get a good positive connection, and this seems to be the best ‘way’ I have found so far.
Last method was to put a cotton donut under my tanks. But, I think that almost worked as a wick to keep it wet under there, rather than to stop the juice. I would make these cotton donuts by cutting them out of mini pads (a feminine product).
Another method I tried was to cut little plastic donuts out of empty 2 liter bottle plastic. That works good to make seepage flow away from the mod, but I would still have a wet 510 connection. It was interesting to cut them from an area of the bottle where it curved just right (along the top 3rd) to make it a shape like an upside down bowl.
I’ve always wrapped tissue paper, napkins or paper towel pieces around my mods that seep or leak. Seems that especially my SMOK TFV4 (s) leak or at least seep after I re-fill them.
Okay… I’ll admit it. I’m desperate to find a good, permanent answer to this problem. So, 2 days ago I bought something new. It is called Gripeez, and it’s one of those 'As Seen on TV" products. It is a 10-pack of 3x4" silicone sheets for $9.99 used to stick up to 5 lb objects to any surface. One example they use is a picture on a wall. I wanted it to stick my mod on my dashboard of my car. Yes, it sticks and re-sticks. It’s washable and re-useable. Well, I cut up one sheet into thin strips, and i’m using them to create a seal between my tank and mod, wrapping it around the 510 connection. Since I don’t ‘change’ tanks and I leave the same tank on a mod constantly, then this will work well for me. I can put it on, and it will stay seated until I unscrew the tank. Little O-rings like the ones for drip tips will do the same thing.
All my tanks even my Aromamizer v2 drips or leaks when it gets low on juice. Even my new Griffin that seeps very little was sticky this morning, and I had to wipe it. I had 5 or 6 mods go bad on me in 3 months, and some of the problems were due to ejuice leaking into them.
Well, I’m interested to see if anyone else has battled this problem as I have, and I’m anxious to hear about how you deal with the issue of a 'wet 510 connection".
