Leaking can be a frustrating issue for vapers, especially with popular devices like the Pod Salt Nexus. Fortunately, this problem is usually easy to fix once you identify the cause. If your Pod Salt Nexus is leaking, follow these steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Check the pod cartridge for any cracks or damage:
The first step in solving a leaking issue is to inspect the pod cartridge for any cracks or damage. Even a small crack in the pod can cause e-liquid to leak out, making a mess and reducing your vaping experience. If you find any damage, it’s time to replace the pod. Always use authentic Pod Salt cartridges to ensure the best performance and avoid issues related to subpar parts.
Ensure the pod is properly installed:
Another common cause of leaks is an improperly installed pod. Ensure that the pod is securely connected to the device and fully seated in its compartment. If the pod isn’t properly aligned, it may not form a tight seal, allowing e-liquid to escape. Gently press down on the pod to ensure it clicks into place and is properly seated within the device.
Check for overfilling:
Overfilling the pod can easily lead to leaks. If you’re refilling the pod, ensure you don’t exceed the recommended e-liquid capacity. Excess e-liquid can overflow and leak through the sides, especially if the pod isn’t sealed correctly. When refilling, be careful not to get e-liquid in the central airflow hole, as this can also lead to leakage. Wipe any excess liquid from the top of the pod before reinserting it into the device.
Clean the device and pod area:
Over time, residue from e-liquid can build up around the pod connection or inside the pod chamber, which may affect the seal and cause leaking. Regular cleaning of your Pod Salt Nexus device is essential to prevent this. Use a clean, dry cloth or cotton bud to wipe around the pod compartment and the mouthpiece of the pod. Keeping these areas clean will ensure a tighter seal and help prevent leaks from occurring.
Check for airflow issues:
Sometimes, the issue may not be with the pod itself but with the airflow system. Ensure that the airflow holes on the pod are not blocked by debris or e-liquid. If airflow is restricted, it can create pressure inside the pod, causing leakage. Check that the holes are clear, and if necessary, gently clean them using a soft cloth or cotton swab.
