Hi all. My XLIM Pro 3 has started leaking – finding liquid in my pocket when I take it out. It's only a couple of months old. I keep it upright when possible but it still happens. Using Elfliq 20mg nic salts.
Any tips to stop this? Really love the kit otherwise.
Leaking from XLIM pods is usually one of these things:
Overfilling – Only fill to the fill line, never right to the top. A little gap prevents pressure issues.
Worn pod – Pods do deteriorate over time, especially the silicone seal. If you've had the pod a while, swap it for a new one.
Temperature changes – Going from cold to warm (like a cold bag to a warm pocket) can cause liquid to expand slightly and seep out.
Wrong liquid – Thin 50/50 liquids flood pods more easily than thicker nic salts.
Try a fresh pod with a nic salt and only fill to about 80% capacity. That combination usually stops it completely.
Also worth making sure you're not leaving liquid sitting on the airflow holes at the bottom of the pod. After filling, wipe the bottom of the pod with a bit of tissue before you click it in. Small thing but makes a difference.
Fresh pod and switched to nic salts only, filling to about 80% like you said. No leaking at all now. Genuinely thought there was something wrong with the device – glad it was just technique. Cheers!
