Mutation mt leaking

[OreO]

Hi guys.

Perhaps somebody could help me.

I recently acquired a mutation tank but everytime i refill the tank it has an intial leak of roughly 2ml of juice. I clean the leak after gilling and the tank does not leak after that for the remainder if the tank.
I have tried filling the tank while keeping it upright, slanted, slowly, fast , closing and opening the air cents and its the same result everytime. I have even tried to change how much wick is used.

If somebody could point me in a direction of where i may be going wrong i would be greatful.

Thanks guys.

I've tried this method & haven't experienced a leak since.

Fill your tank with the airflow closed. Once filled , place the top cap on so that its in by one thread. Immediately turn it upside down & start closing the cap the rest of the way. Once closed , open the airflow full(while still upside down).Turn it right side up & you're done

This obviously will only work once you've ensured your wicking is to the tee.

I absolutely hated my mutation when I first got it but thanks to advice from @shaunnadan & @Clouder I'm absolutely loving it

Hey khan83

Shot for the advice man. I will def be trying that.
So its seems as if when closing the top cap there is a pressure created that forces the juice into the wicking chamber and juice holes.

Any advice with wicking incase that may be incorrect to.

@OreO i think the best advice is to checkout youtube! But be sure to fill it like @Khan83 said

Pleasure bro . Hope it works for you

From what I've read , it indeed seems to be due to pressure build up.

For the wicking , I just make sure cotton on the side juice channels stick out higher that the threads , meaning when your closing the cap its a very tight fit , almost as if you are cutting the cotton while screwing the cap in. Also helps to push cotton into the bottom of the juice channels.

Heres the link I mentioned earlier

Believe me I tried searching youtube videos when I got this tank but the guys never really went too in depth on the wicking part.

It was actually thanks to your's & @shaunnadan 's assistance that I didn't end up smashing this thing with a hammer

Hahahaaa @Khan83!

@OreO make sure the juice wells are packed fully with wick. I cut my wick very long and stuff it all into the juice wells

Hey clouder.

Trying again. This is what my wicking looks like.
The offcuts of cotton i placed that between the airholes to further beef up my cotton percentage.

@OreO I honestly don't think thats would work well as the wick won't be able to suck up juice from the juice wells. I'll will rewick my tank tonight and upload some pics for you. @shaunnadan

Just fill those thick/deep juice channels with cotton & right to the bottom. You mustn't cut off a taper ... use all the cotton. Are those 3mm ID coils? That's what I use.

Yes, but trim cotton so it is long enough to go to bottom of juice channel.
