A leaking pod can ruin your vaping experience—messy, wasteful, and frustrating. But with the right tweaks and gear, you can avoid it entirely. Here’s how to fix leaks and prevent them in the future:
1. Store Your Vape Properly
Extreme heat expands e-liquid and can cause leaks. Keep your vape — like the compact SO1 Open Pod System with its durable zinc-alloy & PCTG body — in a cool, dry place. Its sleek design makes it ideal for safe everyday storage.
2. Inspect Pods Regularly
Cracked or worn-out pods are a leading cause of leaks. Devices like the Infantry 40 are built with precision-fit pods in a sturdy metallic chassis, reducing leak risks from loose connections or damage.
3. Fill with Care
Overfilling increases internal pressure and leak potential. Both the SO1 and Infantry 40 use top-fill open pod systems designed for easy refilling—just don’t exceed the max line.
4. Adjust Airflow Carefully
Incorrect airflow can lead to liquid being drawn into the mouthpiece. Optimize the side AFC on both SO1 (with 0.4Ω–1.2Ω coil range) and Infantry 40 to ensure a balanced draw.
5. Clean Tip & Connections Often
Residue buildup encourages leaks. Wipe mouthpiece and pod contact points on your SO1 or Infantry 40 after each use to keep seals tight and clean.
6. Replace Coils at the Right Time
Worn coils don’t vape efficiently and can cause leakage. The SO1 supports multiple coils (0.4Ω–1.2Ω), while Infantry 40 uses titanium coils (0.6Ω & 0.8Ω) that maintain optimal performance—replace them about every 1–2 weeks.
7. Use Quality E-Liquid
Cheap or thick liquids can clog intake systems. Stick with e-liquids from trusted brands that flow smoothly in 0.6Ω–1.2Ω coils.
8. Consider Robust Hardware
Reduce leaks at their source by using high-quality devices. The SO1 offers adjustable power (5–30W) and airflow control, while Infantry 40 provides up to 40W of power and a high-capacity 1000mAh Type‑C rechargeable battery—all designed to prevent common pod issues .
✅ Final Take
Leaks are avoidable when you choose reliable gear and practice basic maintenance. Both SO1 and Infantry 40 Open Pod Systems from Jomotech combine thoughtful engineering, quality materials, and ease of use to minimize leaks—and maximize your vaping pleasure.
