ARRGH, why did my clearomizer leak in my shirt pocket?

[Spring_Hill_Papa]

OK so first day at work with my e Go vape. I carry it in my shirt pocket battery down.... What did I do wrong the thing leaked out all over my shirt.... what a waste of perfectly good juice!

What type of clearomizer? A CE?

CE2, Ce3, CE4, CE5 all junk, imo.

All can and do leak.

well it came with my starter kit...kgo vision v3?

Those are known as the Stardust or CE4/ CE5. I used them up until 7+ months ago until I discovered the Vision brand Mini Vivi Nova- much better build quality and I use them on my Kgo.

so how should I store it to prevent further leaking or do i need to replace it?

Make sure the head is screwed down otherwise it will leak. I never had any leaking issues. Also do not overfill.

thanks very much

thanks very much

I just found the Stardust wasn't very high quality. If you like the Stardust vape I'd suggest when you need new delivery devices (holds and vaporizes the juice) consider the Vision brand Mini Vivi. I'm very happy with it. Heads (wick+ element/ coil) are cheaply ($2.00) bought and easily (10 secs) replaceable. My heads with cleaning are lasting 10+ weeks.

I say go with a BCC. Protank, T3, EVOD, something of the sort.

well since I gave it another good twist, put it on a napkin and checked NO MORE LEAK. Note to self, tighten the darn fittings....

I try to remember to clean all my new delivery devices before use, as you never know what might have gotten into them during manufacture.

That said, when re-assembling, make sure the head/coil is snug to the post before putting it back in the tank. I've found too that sometimes - especially if it's not snug to start with - removing the drip tip to fill can back the head off a touch. Then, especially if overfilled, but also if it goes a bit sideways in your pocket, it can / will leak down the air tube onto the battery connection.

I use Stardusts, T3, Evod, cartos, Vivi Novas, Vivi Nanos and carto tanks. In my experience, they all have their little quirks.

Whatever device you prefer, learn those quirks and how to deal with them.

A very Good Point that Everyone should do.
