Is your e-cigarette starting to leak every time you use it? Are you finding that you’re having to fill your e-cigarette with e juice more often than usual because of the leaking? This is actually a pretty common problem for most vapers, and if you’ve been vaping for long enough, you’ve likely encountered an issue with leaking at least once in the past.

A leaky e-cigarette can prevent you from vaping, and in some cases, it can also force you to buy a new e-cigarette for yourself. But the good thing is that, in most cases, you won’t have to do a whole lot to stop an e-cigarette from leaking. You simply need to know what to look for when your e-cigarette starts leaking so that you can fix it.

If you’re not familiar with the different parts of your e-cigarette, then you should start by familiarizing yourself with them. The average e-cigarette includes a mouthpiece, a tank, a coil, and a base that is designed to hold all of the other parts together.

Obviously, if you can see that one of these parts and, in particular, the tank is cracked, then that’s probably why your e-cigarette is leaking. However, often times an e-cigarette will have a less obvious issue that is causing leaking.

So you may need to take it apart, examine each individual part closely, and then fix whatever is causing your leak. With a little bit of detective work, you should be able to stop your e-cigarette from leaking in no time!

Now that you know about the basic parts of an e-cigarette, you can get to work and find out why it’s leaking. There are a range of different issues that you might be dealing with. Here are some of the typical problems that vapers face when they are experiencing leaking with their e-cigarettes.

Are the O-Rings Inside Your E-Cigarette Missing or Damaged?

There are a number of O-rings located inside of your e-cigarette that are designed to prevent it from leaking. But the problem, of course, is that if these O-rings are either damaged or, worse, missing, they could be the very reason your e-cigarette is leaking in the first place!

On most e-cigarettes, there are O-rings located on both sides of the tank as well as on the coil. So when you start trying to find the reason for your leaking problem, the O-rings are going to be the first spot you should look.



You should begin by identifying the O-rings in your e-cigarette. If you are able to see them, then they are obviously not missing. But they could be dried out, damaged, or just not doing the job that they are supposed to be doing.

If you notice that they appear damaged even just slightly, you should think about replacing them right away. Because if they aren’t leaking already, they probably will start leaking soon. And that could do a lot of damage to your e-cigarette and leave you searching for a new one. So make sure your O-rings are all in good shape. If they are, they probably aren’t your problem.

Is Your Tank Tightened Too Much?

When you tighten the tank on your e-cigarette, your inclination might be to tighten it as much as possible. After all, that will surely help to keep all of your e juice locked securely in the tank and prevent leaking, right? Wrong.

If you overtighten your tank, you could potentially do damage to your O-rings and possibly even cause the tank to crack. You want to tighten it so that it’s snug, but you don’t want to tighten it too much. And if you’ve already made the mistake of overtightening it in the past, that could be the cause of the leaking that’s taking place right now.

Are the E Juices You’re Using Damaging Your Tank?

When you pick out an e juice to vape with, you probably spend a lot of time considering what flavor you want as well as the nicotine level that works best for you. And while those two factors are definitely important, you should also spend some time researching your preferred e juice to make sure that it will work well with your specific e cigarette.

The truth is that some e juices are known as “tank crackers” and they can cause damage to some tanks, especially plastic ones. Using these e juices won’t always result in a cracked tank, but if you are experiencing leaking, you should at least consider the possibility that your e juice could be the cause of the damage.

By researching your e juices, you can find out whether or not you will have to worry about them causing your tank to leak in the long run.

Is Your Tank Overfilled?

When you fill your e-cigarette tank, you might be tempted to fill it all the way to the top. This will allow you to spend more time vaping and less time filling your e-cigarette again in the future. This could potentially lead to problems with leaking, though, because when you overfill an e-cigarette tank, it puts a lot of pressure on your coil. That pressure can eventually flood your e-cigarette and cause leaking to occur.

These are just a few of the problems that vapers have to deal with when it comes to leaking e-cigarettes. There are many other issues that you could also be forced to deal with when using an e-cigarette.

For example, leaking can also be the result of an old coil that needs to be replaced, and in some situations, doing something as simple as leaving an e-cigarette on its side for an extended period of time has been known to have an adverse effect on it.

But in most cases, you can fix whatever issues you’re dealing with. It’s just important for you to act quickly to stop a leak from getting worse! By taking care of your e-cigarette and troubleshooting an issue at the first sign of trouble, you can stop the leaking and start enjoying your e-cigarette again.
