Voopoo Drag X ~ Drag 3 leaking fix 

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.

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!

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!”

I chucked mine in the bin. It cured the problem instantly.

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.

Mine leaked when the tank was like 10% full. So other things are causing it.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I have never filled my Drag X more than 50%. It has always leaked. I am starting to hate this device.

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.

In addition to the filling advice, I've found that on the DRAG device, using an 80W coil makes the device too hot, thereby enabling the oil to leak easily. However, using a 40W coil solves the problem for oil leak as it does not generate as much heat, and also produces better quality smoke.

Had the same leaking dragx. Problem solved now. Make sure you are the right filter. All different sizes. If you've kept your little booklet that came with your vape,it tells you what size you need. It actually does make a difference. I know through almost giving up. Tryed everything till the penny dropped.

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.

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

Much to my surprise, this worked on my TPP tank. Or at least it's working so far - which was better than before! Thanks! :)

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.

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.

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!

The Drag series leaking like crazy, bought Vaporesso Swag Px80 and its least leaking cartridge

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

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

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.

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 👍🏻

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?

going to try thanks, will update. just bought a drag 3 and the leaking drives me crazy considering its brand new

i've never filled the tank all the way and my device is leaking like crazy.

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?

Thank you. Mine wasn't leaking. I finally made it to leak.

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!.

This video is BS, VooPoo leaks no matter what you do. I only fill mine 1/3 of the way, replaced the tank and it still leaks. Bottom line it’s a piss poor design. I will no longer be purchasing their products.

Seems to be working much better. Thank you 🙏

They should change name from voopoo to just poo because of bad design.

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...

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

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.

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

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!

I always fill it up to half. It is still leaking

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

Whats the reason for juice leaking in mouth while using?

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.

Have the same problem with the TPP and now with the TPP 2. It’s fecking annoying .Gonna try it out. thanks 👊🏼

How bout to fix atomizer short? Any suggestion?

its the O-ring on the coil expanding that causes the leak, regardless if you fill 10% or 100%, 4 years vaping with voopoo vapes , every one does the same

This is not the reason. I don't fill right to the top. It leaks with all liquids. I changed it at the shop and it's the same. It's a design flaw.

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.

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!!!

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.

It works for my Drag X thank you!

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

I hope you will be more successful, useful for other people, aamiin. Keep working 👍

Good thing I watched this video before I bought a voopoo drag 3. Reviewers don't say nothing about leakage in their videos. I think it's because they get paid to promote their products.

I've never filled mine completely and both of mine leak like crazy . Only using a 10-15 ohm coil works , then I go through coils like crazy ... liquid leaking $$$ low ohm coils $$$ . The taste is great , but I am done with voopoo.

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

It says right in the owners manuel for the tpp to fill 2/3 of the way

IGNORE ALL THE OTHER SUGGESTED LEAK FIXES. LEAKS ARE CAUSED BY USING THE WRONG TYPE COILS FOR THE E-LIQUID TYPE YOU ARE USING. For the Voopoo. If you are using standard VM1 OR VM3 coils with the wrong VG rated liquid. It will leak VERY BADLY. Voopoo are supplied with VM1 coils as standard. If the liquid is too thin. It will leak through the cotton. VM1and VM3 coils are only suitable for high VG liquids. Most NIC salts are low VG liquids. Only VM5 and VM6 coils are suitable for NIC salts or freebase 50/50 liquids. Alternative coils are as follows:- TW series coils= High wattage vaping for NIC salts or 50/50 Freebase liquids. (TYPICALLY 40 WATT) TM or TR series coils= low wattage vaping for NIC salts or 50/50 freebase liquids. (TYPICALLY 18 WATT) THIS IS THE ONLY FIX FOR LEAKING ISSUES. IGNORE ANYTHING ELSE. VM and TW series coils are for direct to lung Vaping. TM/TR coils are for mouth to lung vaping.

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 ,

What if I just put drag 3 horizontally with the tank attached ? If it`s not leaking on the side what`s the difference ?

Here's my solution to fix the leakage problem on Voopoo tanks. Cut a couple of strips of paper towel (20mm x 5mm) fold or roll them up and stuff it around the bottom edges of the tank socket on the mod (make sure not to cover the contacts!). For better absorption, you can also use strips cut from makeup remover cotton pads. Once they get too soaked, I remove them with a tweezers and press firmly between two sheets of paper towel sheets to remove the liquid, then reuse them or cut new ones. . There are just too many issues with Voopoo mods. I have several different generation chip sets and none of them maintain the voltage level evenly throughout the entire charge of the battery. When it's fully charged it's fine, but once the battery dips below 80%, so does the voltage displayed on the mod, and the vape becomes less dense and cooler (you can see the level while firing at different battery charge levels). All the Vaporesso Axon chip mods maintain the voltage level evenly throughout the entire charge of the battery. Also the lock feature on Voopoo mods locks everything, can't even fire or vape while charging (no pass-through), Vaporesso can fire while locked and vape while charging.

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

For some reason my drag s kit is tasting burnt even though I replaced the coil? What’s the reason for this?

Thanks that's what I tought !!!

Thank you sir - it worked for me, - at least for now!

Tried everything including different tanks it always leaks, long story short it's a design fault.

it is just bad sealing. i had no leaks for 3 weeks. now. no matter how i fill it its just leak. mostly trough the coil.

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.

I'd try already like this, but it's still leaking from the bottom, I've changed at least 5 time the first week the coil...... The coil is the problem...

I’m using Drag X with PnP - VM4 coils and even though I’m just filling it 20% it’s leaking very bad. Very frustrating.

I have the same problem with my Voopoo I have to clean it everyday and it's giving my headache🤦‍♂️

My argus not working smoke, other all things working. But not came smoke. can u help me to get back fine

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.

Worked with me thanks

Very help full thanks

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?

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

We don't usually fill it up all the way, maybe half or even less and it still leaks. It leaks at full and it leaks at a quarter. They are badly designed.

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

what can i do if the rubber closer band where i fill the tank snaps

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

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 ?

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’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?

Some advice for my first Drag x? (What kind of liquid or brand?)

Another thing is you can a different head attachmen. I got a different top peice and it doesn’t leak at all.

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'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?

The solution is very simple for B3 MTL RTA. In the package, you have a small gasket , and four types of air flows (they are yellow). Take a small gasket from the bag and place it at the top of one of the 4. It will go in a little harder, but it will go in eventually. Problem solved.

thanks for the tip

Maybe using teflon on coil can slove the problem ...

Use a rba coil and discard the original bottom loop and use a nord regular coil loop Done ✅

i will try this thanks!

Even when I half fill my pods they still leak eveywhere.

I've got the VooPoo Drag x for Christmas and started to leak right away at the first use. I will try your method (fill it at 80 per cent) if it doesn't work a will give it back. Thanks anyway for the suggestions.

al mio se metio adentro y ahora me sale check atomizator :C tendra arreglo

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

Mine has leaked from day one, and it leaks from the seal on the coil. If you push it in hard to seal it, the electrode can't reach the coil, thus, no vapor. I think the entire assembly is trash.
