Much to my surprise, this worked on my TPP tank. Or at least it's working so far - which was better than before! Thanks! :)
This is very well said to not fully fill up the tank. To avoid the leaking cause of high temp pressure!! It worked for my tpp x tank stock from drag s pro
That is so weird, because it’s when I get halfway down that mine starts spilling like crazy. My friend asked me if my tank was sweating and I said “sweating? It’s straight up pissing it’s pants!”
Hahaha exactly!
Hahaha that’s a good one
Voopood all over your hands
Yeah me too even when it's nearly empty it leaks
Seems to be working much better. Thank you 🙏
Mine leaked when the tank was like 10% full. So other things are causing it.
same here
See my recent comment for possible solution :-)
Mine too
Agreed - It's Pooh.
It’s the coil O ring
You are very correct on the heat! When the coil gets hot and you feel warmth on the tank, it will no doubt leak from both end, especially when the liquid goes below 1/3 of the tank because of the air pressure inside it. So separate tank when not in use and lay it on the side is the best way to avoid.
I found very useful before you put it aside after some hits, open and close filler plug. I guess it takes out some pressure.
Its a terrible design
The heat hardens one side of the rubber ring and that is where leaks come from
Basically the hot air inside the tank expands pushing out the liquid on all sides like a bad diarrhea. lol
Finally found a real solution. Apparently the coil I was using was drawing out much more juice than I needed. Going to a smaller coil, with an appropriate ohm resistance and with smaller intake wholes stopped the leak. And it doesn't get as warm as it did. No change to vaping experience except for dry hands!
What coil did you use
@@zachwebb5862 I switched to PnP-TM2 0.8 ohm, and vape at 15W. My vape is always dry and never leaks with this combination.
Previously, I was using PnP-VM4 0.6 ohm and was vaping at 15W. This combination leaked all the time.
@@BC-nu9tb im trying that tomorrow, my drag x pro leaks slightly for now and dont like it. Ty for the response.
I guess another solution to try, if you are using the PnP-VM coils is to turn up the wattage and inhale for longer, so that you use the juice it's drawing in
@@BC-nu9tb mine is leaking all the time, using TR1 coil..
I believe it's the rubber bit (unsure what the heck the proper name is) where you fill with liquid. Of course overheating will exacerbate the issue but looking with a magnifying glass there is a teeny tiny space where liquid can certainly leak out. Any idea if the one piece tank has a better "stopper?
I also realized my drag s pro would leak until it was at 80% capacity. Not a huge problem but I hope Voopoo fixes this issue in the future and I still love my Drag S Pro.
You are right saying to fill at 80%. But the leacking comes from the bad not hermetic connection between the rubber pin insulator, the middle positive's pin, and the coil terminal wires. The rubber is squeezed by the threads, and the central pin does not hold everything tight and airtight. In fact, if you notice, there is often liquid on the bottom positive's pin and not on the edge of the POD. The bad is that liquid enters the mod from its floating pins which are right under the POD coil. They should restyle these coils, but probably they didn t test them a long or they don t know how to solve that
Dude why dont you just buy other tank?
in fact I use something else. mine was a criticism of a company that makes very beautiful and innovative products, but gets lost in important details that would be very easy to solve. it would be enough to test the products more and better to discover that there is something wrong
I chucked mine in the bin. It cured the problem instantly.

Yea I’m about to do the same thing…. Had it for 2 weeks and spent like 100 bucks on it
Congratulations on quitting ! Thank you for such a helpful, insightful response we’re all so much better off having read this ! Absolutely life changing ! ….. or is it ? …
@@exgi76gmailcom He's 100% right though lol. This mod is absolute trash. It makes even the smok brand look reliable by comparison. It could not be any more poorly made. Even brand new ones often have a stuttering screen issue. The screen glitches out every time you hit the fire button, and that's if it even fires at all.
@@alexcrowder1673 very true ! I will say , I was just being an ass …. Sometimes I just can’t help myself! Please accept my apology ! Seriously sometimes I start and finish typing before I start much less finish thinking …. Something I’m obviously not working hard enough to change ,… again I am sorry…
It works for my Drag X thank you!
I have never filled my Drag X more than 50%.
It has always leaked. I am starting to hate this device.
You are correct. This is a junk tank. Why manufacture a tank you can only half fill?
The tanks and coils are jank a company came out with a 510 insert for these they are like 5 bucks if that is your cup of tea
I Love the size and weight of this Drag, i am first time user. After 3 weeks this thing started leaking so badly everywhere, even in my pocket and was such a mess and i was really upset. i have been to many forums to see if there was a fix, tried many things that did not work but in the end i found one that has been working perfectly. I used a strip of about 4mm thick from the tape people use to connect pvc pipes and made 3 turns around the o-ring from the coil and push it back in, you will notice that it fits much tighter. You can go to any hardware stores and ask for pvc seal tape. this has worked perfectly, not a trace of liquid since.
I do this too for my Argus pro. No leak since. Easy fix.
Hey, so you put pvc tape on the bottom of the coil where the magnet latches onto the vape machine? Do you have to put new tape every time you switch coils?
@@lottoking7777 probably new tape every time you change coils. I would assume at the bottom of the coil itself where there is usually a white o-ring
@@kait7327 I have no patience for that, I bought aegis legend instead, doesn't have that problem.
Tank will always leak I find when it’s not used for a few hours the liquid leaks from the coil as the liquid soaks in the cotton and comes out the bottom centre of the coil
I don't believe increased pressure is a correct theory. The VooPoo PNP tanks are not pressurized, so heat cannot build up extreme amounts of pressure. The issue, I believe, is that the sealing o-rings for the positive and negative leads that exit the bottom side of the coil are not sealing against the leads and you're getting leakage around those leads.
correct bad seals. this guy is talking voodoo
What to do 😭?
100 percent correct my seals come out of the package warped/protruding out of the electrode
I had a small voodoo drag with the PNP tank, haven’t had any real issues with leaking in months. Only pod that hasn’t give me trouble. It went out so I bought a new Voopoo drag 3. Got the new TPP-X kit. On day number 2 the TPP tank is loose and leaked everything. Switched back to my old tank
in my opinion, i think the problem here is the o-ring material attached to the OCC. it is very weak when the coil gets hot.
What if I just put drag 3 horizontally with the tank attached ? If it`s not leaking on the side what`s the difference ?
Thanks that's what I tought !!!
How bout to fix atomizer short? Any suggestion?
Have the same problem with the TPP and now with the TPP 2. It’s fecking annoying .Gonna try it out. thanks 👊🏼
In my opinion, and findings. The issue with the TPP coils is that the seal/insulator for the center electrode is a stiff plastic. As opposed to the PNP which is rubber. I haven't had any issues with the PNP tanks. The only "fix" that has proven to work is to put a small amount of silicone sealant around the center electrode in then pop the connector back in and let it setup before using it. I do this to all coils at once as soon as I pick up a new supply. This way they are ready to go when needed. Haven't had an issues since I began doing this a few months ago. I hope this helps some people experiencing the same issues.
hellow i also have the tpp coils and leaking issues, you say putt silicone around the end off the tpp coil? but can you still insurt them in place then can you show a video? thanks
So you're taking the positive pin out using silicone and then putting the positive pin back?
Can you make a video amd link it here doing what you are talking about?? Thanks
@@nickriker8336 I think hes talking about the rubber seal ring
I think the heat of the coil causes expansion of the fucking rubber seal and leads to leaking , that is absurd quality control, just use some thermally stable insulator for holy gods sake or are they just have no brain that can think of it .
I never had my pnp tank leak but my tpp tank always leaks even when I’m not using it and even if it’s got no liquid left inside what ever is still in the cotton leaks out the bottom of coil
leaks is from oring in bottom of coil, just take 1-2 pelet of molding plastic (the ones that becomes clear and moldable with hot water)and put it around oring of the coil, never leaks again, just make sure you only cover the inside of grove
I had mine like spit out liquid and I have been scared to use it ever since is there anything I could do to try to use it again it like blew liquid
The Drag series leaking like crazy, bought Vaporesso Swag Px80 and its least leaking cartridge
in my drag s, i noticed that sometimes 1 of the airflows just blocks and i have to blow it some times. Is this happening cause my coil is too old? (~2 weeks)
I hope you will be more successful, useful for other people, aamiin. Keep working 👍
Very help full thanks
Thank you sir - it worked for me, - at least for now!
I have a Voopoo Argus Pro. I read the manual as a habit before I use any device or appliance. Part of the instruction says never fully fill it up as it will leak. Filling it up to two thirds was recommended.
Even my Geekvape and Oxva devices recommend never to fill them up fully.
And yes, I take off the pods after use. If it has a removable battery I also remove them when not in use, and I also charge them externally.
I have no problems with my vape devices no matter the brand or size and make by following these simple tips.
Thank you. Mine wasn't leaking. I finally made it to leak.
that... that comment just... i can't take it it is to much ! omg man i feel bad for ye but still.
i Have a Voo Poo Drag x and so far so good... i just use the small tanks with the small nip mouth piece and smaller coils and is working fine so far... yes i hate it not to be able to have a 5,5 tank on it and yes i hate it that i am not able to inhale the juiciness capacity at full power when the battle station is fully operational.
these devices are like freaking 10 years old and they still haven't fixed such a minor problem just makes me wonna blow up some planets.
Live long and prosper and may the Vape be with you,
Worked with me thanks
For some reason my drag s kit is tasting burnt even though I replaced the coil? What’s the reason for this?
The dripping is cause the top is open where you vape from and the side where you control the amount of air that goes in is open as well. It’s physics. If you close it by twisting it the air can’t go somewhere so it won’t go anywhere. CHECKED FACT. Vaping over 9 years and never had an issue when I did this.
Can you make it clear a little bit more I didn’t understand you
@@The_Gamer456 When not vaping, always rotate the airflow control to CLOSED. The ring on the bottom, that has 2 airflow intake vents, make sure they are closed when not vapping.
Agree with MikeMyDay, been doing the same for over 5 years.
The real issue is the cotten getting saturated it then leaks through the 3 holes on center of coil bottom .maybe adding little piece cotton down center of coil will help.
My argus not working smoke, other all things working. But not came smoke. can u help me to get back fine
I use voopo* pnp tank
at the first and second refill, no problem
But after that, it always licking.
I fill it full like u said .
I think i agree With u
I will try to fill it only 50%
Thanks bro!!!
going to try thanks, will update. just bought a drag 3 and the leaking drives me crazy considering its brand new
How is it going?
@@robertasruskulys1557 2 days in ive been filling it about 60-70% per fill and im having little to no leakage great fix ty
@@No-ScopeNibbligan hey it's been two months, how's it going now?
@@No-ScopeNibbligan it's been 6 months, how is it?
@@andrakechan4008 update: stock tank continued to leak. Filling it less slows it but it became inevitable. Bought a new tank 2 months ago and its never leaked i would highly recommend. Maxus pro
Whats the reason for juice leaking in mouth while using?
I disagree. I never filled mine more than 50% and still I get leaking all over the place. It's actually coming out of the air duct. I am sure overfilling would make it even worse, but in my case I never overfilled, even once. Sometimes it doesn't leak, sometimes it does. So far I found no connection. Once, I had a badly leaking one, I twisted it a bit and stopped leaking. When I had to change it with a new one, it leaked, I did the same trick but it didn't work.
For the record, when I get a leak, about every second time I change the whatchamecallit with the coil (sorry, brain fart) I take a cleaning wipe, let it dry then I roll it and use a rubber band to put it right below the air intake and above the button. It ain’t pretty, but at least my hand and everything else around me doesn’t drip of juice.
Why a cleaning wipe? Toilet paper and even paper towels fall apart. Wipes (dry the first by leaving them out for a bit) are more fibrous and take much longer to fall apart.
My with 70/30 liquid not leaking and of course quality liquid!
Completely agree with you. Even only 25% full this poorly designed tank ALWAYS leaks.
It’s coming from my coil on the TPP coils
I didn't think about that... You are correct. Thanks for telling me something I should have known. Too hot and where is the heat gonna go?
i only fill half but its leaking still. I got voopoo drag x Plus . I am looking for another tank im tired of wiping the leaks
what can i do if the rubber closer band where i fill the tank snaps
Some advice for my first Drag x? (What kind of liquid or brand?)
Had the same issue since the day I bought it... In the instruction it says "fill 2/3 of the tank" so I always did that, but it still leaks often
Hey dude it's been a long time but you fixed leaking?Mine leaks pretty much often...cant do anything im waiting hours to let this shit dry 🤷♂️
@@georgemikava7459 well, I have a different voopoo vape now, but since it has the same tank...leak is still there, not as much as previously tho
@@BustedReijii Mine leaked to much today so i washed the tank...It still drying😅Idk if coil will work again,but i saw dudes washing them.
@@georgemikava7459 my friend not only washed the coils...he boiled them lol
@@BustedReijii Soo...Now i know what's the problem...And its not leaking.I bought drag yesterday and you know what?one of the batteries is stuck and together with leaking those things make my vape crazy🤣
I'll probably need new battery 🤷♂️
I have the same problem, thanks.
hello, i have this problem my coil got stucked and i cannot remove it to change it, i have the drag mini with the uforce t2 tank
It says right in the owners manuel for the tpp to fill 2/3 of the way
I'm planning to buy this h80s but the leaking issue is holding me. I have a leak-proof boost b100 which is very ideal.
Hey Mario, i have the drag s/x or whatever. Can you also explain to me a decent way to even clean the mod? Because if i had a good way to clean to it, the leaking wouldn't be that bad. Hard to clean the air flow area where the coil sits
Hi Zane, try to use cotton ear buds for the inside of where where tank sits, make pointy shapes with your fingers so you can insert the cotton buds inside the airflow also you can try with paper towels, again make pointy shapes with small pieces of paper towels and play them as much as you can inside the tank sit area, keep going until it's dry, hope this helps 👍
I see small torx screw areas. Could i unscrew it there to get a good deepper clean? Thanks again for replying
Hi Zane, yes, you can do, that round metal plate is only to make contact with the magnets. As long as you put it back carefully, everything should be fine, I used to do that as well.
thanks for the tip
when I change the battery, press 5 times it goes to 5% and wont work at all ? I cleaned and dried it but still wont work ?
How about drag h80s? Have you try it?
Interesting, I have the same issues with my SMOK RPM5 someone gave me and I really enjoy as a great alternative to smoking cigarettes
I'm guessing I lose about 25% of the vape juice I put in and I only fill to 20% max
I just thought the leaking was why I was given the RPM5 in the first place and figured I'd just take the opportunity to upgrade & get a Vaporesso Luxe II as I've already saved north of NZD1500 in just 2 months and I no longer have any craving for a cigarette
Having had a quick look round, I'm reading the occasional review mentioning leaking occurring on many if not all refillable vape devices, even the top end NZD200 ones like the Luxe II
I'm a professional electronics engineer and while this video is very well done and informative, I don't think we're really seeing the root cause being fixed
The leaking isn't that big a deal, vape juice is fairly cheap compared to cigarettes, it's just the mess & sticky fingers
It definitely worked 🎉
I have 2 tanks- TPP and PnP. Many coils I've used and all the same: with coils 0.20, 0.15 my drag leaking really bad but with 0.3 don't. Dunno why. Now I must try your teory with 0.20 and 0.15 but the problem is when I got half tank for example it's leaking too so in my opinion you could be wrong.
I’m curious as to how everyone is cleaning these types? I recently got one. I had the drag 2 before and the tanks came apart and were easily cleaned. Not sure the correct method to clean these drag 3 tanks?
I have never filled mine to the top and still rediculous leakage . I changed back to short tank which comes with voopoo . After two days no leakage. Dry as a bone . I. Feel it is the seal on coil doesn’t fit large tank properly. My voopoo no longer leaks . I have two and both have stopped leaking
THANK YOU!
Mate, did you get any further with this? Because from my recent experience there is a whole lot to consider. First your coil, i've just found a super low ohm coil running from 25-35w (red oring smart coil) and it supports lower temps better (I don't know what you run at but i found so much spit and pop at 60+ i dial it right tf down) and the juice. I just got hold of sth branded Duo. very sweet and smooth, low nicotine (I think you can get without nicotine also) and it's very tasty. but it's got a good balance of viscosity, with current testing minimal seepage so far at low watts. I totally get this video is old now and probs you've either figured all this out but thought i'd chip in just in case this was helpful to anyone coming to voopoo drag new. it's a great rig, just got to have the right coil and heat for the right liquid. play around and experiment and don't get too frustrated while you work it out. little patience and analysis and i recon you'll get the right combination for your smoking style.
Honestly, if anyone is reading this, they should just buy a different mod. Voopoo is trash. Even the models that dont leak have buggy chips that literally just off themselves after a month or so of use.
i've got the drag 3 and i found that 0.2ohm coil has more flavour, do you know wich coils or tanks for drag 3 has even more flavour?
as far as I'm aware, there is only two coil options for the drag 3 TPP tank, the 0.2 ohm and the 0.15 ohm. If the 0.2 is your favourite then you might stick to it. You could try the PNP tank that comes with the drag x , there are multiple coil options available for that one
@@mariosonpoint2113 I will thanks.
Thank you
I don't get this with new coils, i guess its from the cotton getting over soaked, i do half tank and i always let the coils cool down at least 15min after the last use before refill
I found the solution the other day with the drag. Remove coil oring and replace with Viton green thick oring and not one leak for one week. It's the coil oring that expands and contracts and leaves gaps. Viton orings are rated up to 800 degree depending on viton rating. This is the ultimate fix. Try it!
what size did you buy for the o-rings?
hello i have drag x
And I have a problem when I turn it on and pull a puff or two from it it turns off automatically I changed the battery but it didn't work Please if anyone knows the solution let me know
I saw in Argus pro, the main reason for the leaking liquid is its coil design, If you check bottom side of coil there is a small tiny rubber belt, and when you take puff at the moment uf the coil get too hot the rubber is burning utself and losing the protection. It's not getting tight anymore because of heat its already got damage.
I try replace the coil but all coils are same, Argus Pro is the most worst kit ever because of draining liquid. 😢
Is there any other coil that can set in argus pro? I'd try this if it can help to solve my problem. I've already bought anoth kit from Drag, but still Im worried if there is a way then it might help other
i've never filled the tank all the way and my device is leaking like crazy.
EXACTLY! Same here! My fingers get the juice all over them! It goes straight down the sides and that's when I fill it only half way!

in my country juice price almost high like mod price. i fill less than 50% in my drag x plus. but still its flood continuously.. its a huge waste. can you solve this for me?
I'm afraid this is the only method that I could find working for me, you can try to keep your tank almost empty and fill up just as much as you vape and when you are not vaping take the tank off, I hope this will help
With my drag 3 I've always had leaking issues, but when I change to my devilkin I have no problems... Then I discover that the drag 3 works better on lower watts, between 30-40 W. But you will not get big clouds...
Clouds are overrated
It’s the dam coils leaking is issue the O ring
can i fix that problem? or is it broken for forewer?
I used in my Friend’s Drag 3 and i used to fill the whole tank nothing happens
When i bought mine i just fill it 50% and it’s leaking like hell
How do I fix a low resistance error?
Hi do you know if i can put Tpp or Tpp-x cartridge to normal drag x?
Hi, yes, should fit like a glove, if you have doubts you can go to your local vape shop and ask them to let you try one
Blue lqid tosol???
i´ve got the problem, i got my drag x a couple of days ago, the first day i filled it about 75% everything was ok then the next day i put a different liquid in it & then it started leaking,
it´s really p!ssing me off because i bought the drag x because my other one broke because liquid got into it. i was using pnp coils btw.
yow mario my vape its turning on but no removin any smoke
Hi Mario, I have the drag X, but it's not working, I guess that is the liquid that got inside, any advice?
It has problems to turn on and also says that my battery is low but actually it's 100% I already tried with other batteries and it's the same, help me :c
Hi Sandra, when my drag x was behaving like that I let it sit alone for around a month and I think the liquid that was inside dried up because after that it was working, I hope this helps, good luck 👍
I was using nic salt liquid with my Voopoo and it leaked badly for weeks.
I changed the coil from a PNP-VM1 to a PNP-TM2 coil.
No more leaks, not even a drop.
I use my Voopoo at 15 watts.
PNP-VM1 coils are only suitable for high VG liquids.
Another thing is you can a different head attachmen. I got a different top peice and it doesn’t leak at all.
Seems to be the 0.3 coil it leaks like crazy! Terribly made.
Changed to the 0.2 coil though and hasn't leaked at all so far 👍🏻
100%
@Jayden Plattje yeah I'm using 0,2 and still have leaking
I've tried all of them and they leak I thinks it's related to the heat + coils as it didn't leak for the first 5 months in winter and now it's summer it leaks like crazy (the liquid thins with heat and flows past the o ring)
I only fill mine around 50-60% full, but it leaks like crazy. I don't know why.
al mio se metio adentro y ahora me sale check atomizator :C tendra arreglo
I always fill it up to half. It is still leaking
They should change name from voopoo to just poo because of bad design.
I've had the same issues with leaking. What I have noticed, is the o rings on the coil seem to be the issue. When the oil gets hot it gets thin and leaks right past the orings. Happened when I filled to the completely full level and the half full level. Better o rings would make a difference. I havent figured out how to change the o rings yet. If anyone has please post.
That's the only thing I'm thinking about.
I notice it’s the white o ring on the bottom of the coil
yep, rubber expand on heat. cooling and heating makes the o ring brittle.
What to do 😢?
I fill mine about 2/3 and they still leak sooner or later...sometime it takes a week sometimes 2 or 3 but they all will leak eventually
How to fix it when it make it self on and off .like how to clean it
Fact of the matter is that their consumers shouldn't have to do any of this. The tanks are large enough to hold more than half and we shouldn't have to be concocting solutions for their mistakes. What's even worse, they keep coming out with new tanks and they are all still leaking the same. I'm going to have to send them a message or give them a call because I feel like I'm constantly wasting my money!
Same for me. I lost my drip tip, and my tank was leaking anyway so I bought a new one. Not even a week old and it's leaking all over the place. Poorly made coils in my opinion.
Have u found a way ?
Exactly, these voopoo are rubbish.
Same. Had I known the voopoo was this defective I would’ve went for a different brand vape.
I’ve put silicone sealant on the bottom coil seal let it set ,make sure the middle metal bit is clear of silicone, it’s not leaking now ,
How to do this plz
I use 50/50 blend. I can't fill more than 40% to keep either of the coils from leaking in the Drag X and Drag X Pro. The issue is the coil wire end sticking out of the bottom. When the oil heats up the viscosity becomes thinner with the coil wire acting like a wick. This is down to there still being a tiny gap on either side of the wire.
The secondary cause of leaking is indeed overfilling. The coil can only hold back so much juice. When the tanks internal pressure exceeds the holding capacity of the cotton and the increased viscosity of warm juice (oil) the juice then flows freely through the cotton and out the air inlet on the bottom of the coil. Laying the coil on its side reduces the likely hood of the warm, thinner oil from passing through the cotton freely via gravity.
If you are one who is constantly vaping use two devices or tanks to keep the juice from heating up to the point where it wicks out of the bottom through the tiny gaps on either side of the coil wire or passing though the cotton and out via the air inlet.
Remove the tank when charging the battery in the mod as well. As you all know the mod gets pretty warm while the battery is charging. This of course heats the tank and juice, thus allowing the warm oil to wick out.
Voopoo can easily solve the leaking issue by clamping the coil wire to the contact plug internally. Simply relying on the pressure of contact plug against the wall of the coil to secure the wire and seal the coil is not working. Some coils are so bad it doesn't matter what you try, the juice leaks out all over the place. I'd say I toss out one in five TPP coils due to constant leaking.
Top tip..... To get the most out of these pricy coils use 50/50 blend. I recently ran out of 50/50 recently. While waiting for my shipment I checked several local shops for 50/50 to no avail. They all for the most part carry 70/30. With 70/30 my TPP coils were only lasted 5 and 6 days. With 50/50 set between 47 to 50 watts coils typically last me 4 to 5 weeks, depending on how much I am vaping. I did vape near constantly. Now I need to quit entirely. My gums have begin to recede dramatically in the last three months. The dentist is 90% sure vaping not only prevented early detection, but rapidly accelerated the significant recession. Literally in three months I went from no recession to needing surgery to graft new gums in place and hope they stick to save all of my bottom front teeth. Anyone who is thinking about quiting needs to do so now. If you're noticing dry mouth.... quite. If your gums are red and tender but not bleeding or otherwise indicating an issue.... Quit and see your dentist right away. I ignored the dry mouth for months. And ignored the swelling thinking it was irritation from using different floss picks. Then the swelling began to subside. At which point I notice the normal staining below the gum line was exposed and gaps between my teeth where gums should be. The dentist noted 1 and 2mm recession. That is a lot for a 47yo with excellent oral hygiene. By the time I finally panicked and ran to the dentist it was too late to reverse the recession. Expensive surgery is now the only option.
I realise this is not a video about vaping and oral health. However if my regrettable experience and the $8k I now must invest to hopefully get my beautiful smile back encourages others who vape to quit or see their dentist 3-4 times a year to catch gum disease early, then I will post similar comments on other vape content videos. In my last check up in late 2020 there was no sign of any recession or gum disease If I had acted as soon as the swelling and slight redness started we would have minimized gum loss. Oh and if I had known vaping was responsible for severe gum disease I would have quit sooner. Prior to my gums receding I had no idea vaping would cause any oral health issues. Back when I started vaping in 2014 it was said vaping is not harmful. Obviously e-cigarettes had only just blown up in the market at that time. As such there was little to no real studies to show the effects of vaping. I had quit smoking years prior but still craved the feel.....not the smell... yuck. Vaping with no nicotine seemed harmless. Okay.... Okay ..... Way off topic and the subtopic I created.
Genetics play a role in gum disease as well. Those with a predisposition to gum disease are likely to suffer early and severe gum disease as a result of vaping, just as many smokers do. There is a reason dentists instruction patient not to smoke after a procedure. Okay.....okay.....I'm done. My apologies for hijacking this video to share my scary and gross gum recession. Sadly I now feel a duty to warn others because the vaping industry is not.
Cheers!.
Boo fucking hooo if u cared about your mouth/ gums/ teeth you wouldn't be vaping in the 1st place so stop ur crying its your own damn fault.
Man!...... I just read your comment.... OH! MY! GOSH!.... I started with a new company about 4 months ago and have noticed those symptoms, ESPECIALLY the dry mouth, an I'm talking EXTREME dry mouth, also, my gums have felt different and I've also had swelling in them. I've been on a certian medication for a couple of years that one of the side effects is dry mouth, but I've been vaping alot longer. But since starting this position with the new company, I've been vaping WAY more, like 10 times more, than normal, like carrying 2 or 3 different mods with me to make sure I had a charged battery, since some take different batteries and also plenty of juice. Before, an even now, I would only vape in my vehicle and house, yes I still smoke, but have cut way back. Well, I'm about to have A TON of vape stuff for sale. I know your just ONE guy, hell, I don't even know you, but you just described EVERY issue I've noticed going on with MY mouth, but I was chalking it up to my medicine. So with that being said, I want to thank you sir. Time to talk to my Dr to find a different method to totally kick BOTH habits and also, make an appointment with my dentist 😭
Perfect, fucking thank you. I was def thinking i wouldnt find the exact tank/vape
Mine only ever leaks when my Drag X hasn’t been left perfectly upright. Even if it left leaning like 15 degrees in my spot I have it resting in the car, it will leak a little over time. Not the end of the world, but I don’t dare sit down with it in my pocket.
I'm not sure, I've always filled mine up like this and I get a little leak nothing bad, but my partner has same as me and hers leaks like crazy, tried new tanks and coils and still leaks, I've even filled hers half way and still leaks with new coils and tanks
what are they other devices? (not drag 3)
are they the Drag x and Drag s or Drag x plus?
The other two are both Drag x
Please Help me...
My Device is DRAG S PRO
Don't know the device is auto fair..
i have drag x pro i leak all the time when i use it now im thinking to use rda
im running ttp-dm1 at 55w full 90% leaks like a bitch every time? any advise ?
Honestly i switched to the bigger tank with the bigger coil and it leaks even at 50% now i realized it wasn't worth switching over to that.
