Leaky flavours...

I've been mixing my own for a couple of years now but keep facing a problem I can't get to the bottom of:
Some flavours leak badly & others don't.
Creamy peanut butter & vanilla custard ones never gives me a problem. Banana Moon Pie & Strawberry Fog always do. Each recipe has between 4 & 6 flavours added.
My mix is 60/40 vaped at around 4 watts with 1.8ohm coils in a Kanger 2 MTL.
The only variable is the flavours I use as everything else is the same.
Any ideas why this is?
 
First time I’ve heard of this complaint. Are you mixing to a specific vg pg ratio, or adding the flavours to a base mix? I’m just wondering if maybe the leaky ones have more flavour concentrate, and that viscosity might be the culprit.

Can only be this^^^^ if the issue is the juice and not hardware related.
 
It's identical hardware & the same 60VG/40PG mix for each flavour. Same atty, mod, wattage, coil & ohms in each case. Like I said, it's very baffling.
No base mix involved. All about 16% flavour.
 
Is it two separate setups you’re using, one for each flavour? If so I reckon it’s a hardware issue, rather than the liquids.

I have 4 different but identical attys & it seems no matter which one I use with which flavour, the banana & strawberry ones leak.
I know it's odd, that's why I'm asking advice. I can't see any reason why this happens either, but it does.
 
Daft question but I assume all the concentrates are PG based and if not, you are calculating for the extra VG/PG depending on mix?

Apart from that, no reason at all why one would leak and not the other unless it's a hardware issue.
 
What flavour concentrates are you using? And what tanks? I wonder if the banana concentrate is corroding an oring or something, and seeping out?
