I'm using a Riva 510 Lite, and loving it! However, I'm having some issues with the atomizers and cartridges, and could use some advice.

I recently bought new juices from Honeyville. They were getting such GREAT reviews that I just HAD to check them out. I got Caramel Macchiato, Apple Pie, Waffles and Blueberry Muffin. While I love ALL these flavors, only 2 of them are giving me problems.

The caramel macchiato is leaking out of the bottom of the atomizer, where it screws onto the battery, and is turning my hands a brown color. The apple pie leaks out of the hole at the end of the cartridge, and I keep getting juice on my lips, which tastes horribly. I'm not getting much flavor out of these, when vaping them, either.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong?? Do I need to do some cleaning of the carts and atomizers? Please help! I don't want to miss out on my favorite all-day vape flavors!

Sounds like a problem with the cartridge. Replace the cartridge first because it sounds as though the atty is flooding. I drip so I have to be careful not to put too much in. If you are getting juice in the mouthpiece take it off the atty and blow through it from the mouthpiece side and wipe off the excess coming out the air vents. Some e-juice is thinner than others and will flood an atty easier. Hope that helps.

Underneath the top inside of the mesh "bridge" (the top outside part is what you can see when you look down into your atty) is a fibrous "wick" which helps the juice get from a cart to the actual coil. The fibers can easily be pulled out with tweezers and it's a good idea if you're dripping as it can get all gunked up after awhile.

Good videos on YouTube, of course.
