Out of all the different problems that can happen with your vaping device, a leaking vape is surely one of the most annoying. Although e-liquid is definitely more affordable today than it was in the past, it certainly isn’t cheap – and you don’t want to lose any if you can avoid it. A leaking vape can also be incredibly messy if it happens to dump vape juice in your pocket or on a table. Needless to say, it’s a situation that you definitely want to prevent – and in this article, we’re going to provide some advice that can help you do exactly that.
Every type of vaping device leaks for a slightly different set of reasons, which means that your approach for troubleshooting the problem should vary depending on what you’re using. With that in mind, we’re going to break this article up into three sections that explain how to fix a leaking vape tank, pod system or disposable vape. Before we dive in, though, let’s talk about some of the general reasons why vaping devices leak.
Why Do Vaping Devices Leak?
There are many different types of vaping device on the market today. Before we discuss how to resolve leaking issues with specific types of vapes, though, we’d like to talk about the subject in more general terms because all vaping devices leak for the same reasons. Here’s what they are.

Inside the reservoir of any vape tank or pod, there’s a weak vacuum that helps to keep the vape juice from leaking between the seams or flowing out through the atomizer coil assembly. The vacuum can’t form if the pod or tank has broken gaskets, or its components are misaligned. The vacuum also can’t form if the tank or pod is filled completely to the top, with no room left for air.
Every vape tank or pod is designed to work with e-liquid of a specific viscosity. Most of the vape juice on the market has a moderate thickness to work well with the widest possible variety of vaping equipment. However, some extremely thin e-liquids may not work well with vape tanks that have very wide wick openings.
The vacuum in a vape tank or pod can break if there’s an internal or external change in air pressure. This usually happens because you’ve puffed on the device too firmly and overwhelmed its ability to manage airflow, but it can also happen due to a change in environmental air pressure. For example, if you bring a vaping device with you when driving up a mountain, the change in air pressure will probably force some of the vape juice out of the device’s tank or pod. This isn’t something that you can control, so it’s usually wise to make sure that your device is only half full if you plan to spend the day at a high elevation.
