    Default juice leaking

    Hello, just wondering something? i punched to many holes in my cartomizer for my mom and pop tank, and it flooded my cartomizer, i was wondering if the juice that got inside the threading of my v2 will eventually seep into the provari itself or is it sealed? if anyone knows i would greatly appreciate it, and can you clean the provari threads and battery post. and with what. thanks

    I don't know if it is sealed, but you can clean them. I use alcohol and a q-tip, or an alcohol swab if I have any around.

    I had a Corto leak before and fill the Top of My Provari Completely. Man did I freak Out.

    But I soak it up with a Paper Towel and then cleaned Everything with a Q-Tip and Iso Alcohol. Didn't have problems with the e-Liquid getting Inside the Provari.

    I think I'm a slow learner. I took the top off my 7ML LavaTank yesterday and filled it. When I put the top back on, it forced tons of liquid into the cartridge, and of course some leaked out the bottom into the well on the Provari. Cleaned everything up, and it took quite a while (sucking juice all the while) to get things back to normal.

    Today when I needed to fill the tank again. After taking the top off, I pulled the tank up just above the hole in the cartridge and filled it. I then put the top on the tank before pushing the tank back down on the cartridge, and WALA, no cartridge flooding.

    This is probably common knowledge to most, but I learn the hard way.

    No harm to the Provari from the leaking. I do thing that the battery connection on the Provari is sealed, but that's just my thoughts.

    It's completely sealed. You won't get juice into the unit from leaking cartos or attys, unless it runs down the side and enters near the button.

    From this page:

    Please note: the top cap of the ProVari is sealed so typically juice will not get into the unit from the top.
    We have had users report that they were using a tank and it leaked along the side of the device, this is the situation most likely to cause juice leakage into the ProVari.

    thanks every one, i feel better knowing its sealed, after the price i paid, i just wanted to be sure, i contacted provari, and they responded with in an hour, great customer service by provape. they said it is sealed and if by chance something was wrong with the seal then juice will enter, but otherwise take a q tip with rubbing alcohol and clean the threads. thanks everyone, hope this post helps others.
