Causes And How To Overcome Cartridge Pod Leaks, Follow These Steps
YOGYAKARTA - Electric cigarettes or vape often experience leak problems in cartridge pods. This problem is certainly very disturbing to the convenience of using vape. It is very important for electric cigarette users to know how to deal with leaky cartridge pods.
Cartridge pod leaks not only interfere with vaping habits, but can also cause e-liquid fluids to be wasted, litter the device, or even damage the pod itself. For beginners and experienced users, this problem can be very annoying, especially when you want to enjoy the vaping session.
But don't worry, the problem of charter leakage in the pod can be overcome with some simple and preventive steps. So how to deal with the leaked cartridge pod? Check out the tips discussed below.
Electric cigarette users often dizziness themselves and are confused when a cartridge pod leaks. Even though this problem can still be solved in an easy and not complicated way. The following are steps that you can follow to overcome leaky cartridge pods:
One of the main causes of the cartridge leak is excessive e-liquid charging. When refilling the pod, make sure not to exceed the limits set by the manufacturer.
Filling too full can make the e-liquid liquid flow out of the cartridge when you close it, and the air pressure inside the pod can trigger a leak. Instead, leave a little space above the e-liquid to avoid this problem.
One of the causes of another leak is incorrect installation of cartridges. When reinstalling the cartridge into the pod after charging, make sure to install it properly and tightly. Cartridge that is not properly installed can cause the e-liquid to seep out.
If you feel the cartridge is loose or out of order, release it and re-install it slowly until it feels fast. Also check the gasket or rubber seal on the cartridge link with the device, because damaged or loose seal can cause leakage.
E-liquid composition also affects leak potential. Higher e-liquids with high PG (Propylene Glycol) levels are liquider than e-liquids containing more VG (Vegetable Glycerin). If you use e-liquids with over-high PG levels, most likely e-liquids will be more easily leaked from cartridges.
To reduce the risk of leakage, choose an e-liquid with a balanced composition of PG/VG, for example 50/50 or 60/40, depending on the type of pod device you use.

Coil or an atomizer that has been used for a long time and started to get eroded can cause the cartridge to leak. If the coil is used too often, the cotton inside may not be able to absorb the e-liquid well, so the e-liquid will leak through the coil gaps.
To prevent this, make sure to change the coil regularly according to producers' recommendations, usually after a few weeks of use. Checking and changing the coil regularly not only prevents leaks but also ensures that the quality of the taste and popularity of the vape remains maximized.
How to store vapes also plays a role in dealing with leaks. When not used, make sure the vape device is stored in an upright position. Storing the pod in a tilted or inverted position can cause the e-liquid fluid to seep into parts that shouldn't and trigger leaks.
As much as possible, keep the vape in a stable place and don't fall, because impacts can damage small parts that are important in the pod.
Cartridge leaks are often caused by damage or wear on the o-ring or rubber seal. O-rings serve to hold the e-liquid inside the cartridge and prevent it leaking. Over time, o-rings can become aus or loose, especially if they are often exposed to heat from coils or are under pressure when charging.
If you find a leak, check the o-ring condition and rubber seal on your pod. If it's broken or loose, it's best to replace it with a new one.
Smoke too hard or too strong when vaping can also cause the e-liquid to leak. When you smoke too strong, the air pressure in the cartridge can increase and force the e-liquid out through small gaps.
Try to smoke slowly and consistently to keep the pressure stable, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage.
Filling in the cartridge too much or too often can cause the e-liquid not to be absorbed properly by the coil. If the coil has not had time to absorb the liquid properly, the remaining e-liquids will accumulate and can cause leakage.
Instead, refill the pod as needed and give the coil time to absorb the e-liquid well before returning to use it.
Those are some ways to deal with leaky cartridge pods that users of e-cigarettes or vapes need to remember. Also read also recognize the dangers of vape, contemporary cigarettes that are prohibited by WHO.
