Joyetech Ultimo refill issues

[Coco]

Ok, I'm either stupid, clumsy or expected more...

I seem to have real leaking (not drops, some serious amounts), each time I refill. And it is not just me, the same happens to the girlfriend on hers. (Sadly cannot compare these 2 side-by-side since we are on different continents.)

Thus far, this is the story -

1. Refill time comes,
2. Close the bottom airflow,
3. Open the top airflow,
4. At this point an huge bubble forms,
5. Refill takes place,
6. Screw on top,
7. Serious juice issues when opening the airflow

I have checked -

1. Everything screwed in correctly
2. No seal issues (both tanks are new, got gf to check hers)
3. Tried refilling at 50% & basically empty tanks, same issues (2nd was slightly better)

This is all using the Ceramic coil, I'm at 50W, gf at 40W. Apart from that - it ticks all the boxes and is a great lil tank, this is just, erm, slightly horrible. Any ideas and tips from actual Ultimo owners would be appreciated, not a newbie on this and this one has me stumped (and none of the reviewers seem to have the issues)

After refilling and closing the tank, turn it upside down, than open the airflow. Pressure usually releases through the airflow. Than turn it right side up again..
Hope it works...

Thank you. Just did a refill (empty tank) and no extra flows. Will wait for 50% empty and then do the same, i.e. testing for the case where I had a major issue with leaking.

Thank you. Simple fix, yet effective. Seems to do the trick for me.

Sweet man, glad it worked for you!

@Rob Fisher will you be adding this tank to do battle in your ceramic coil wars?

I'm very tempted to pass by VK on my way home and pick one up after watching all the reviews.. Can't trust some of these guys though.

I have high hopes for it... but need to test it first to become a believer!
