Hey, I got an ecig kit from a local store it was the Imperial Smoke brand. The clearomizer that came with it wasn't shown anywhere online, but I found one that looked almost identical but it was under the name Trinity. "Trinity TriMesh Stainless Steel Mesh Clearomizer Atomizer for Rook CE4 CE5 CE8"
Anyways, the clearomizer started leaking while I was on a plane to Hawaii.
I tried to find the source of the leak and I figured it was small and along the bottom because that was the part that kept getting little droplets of e liquid on it. I got some super glue when we landed and glued the bottom of the clearomizer just, right at the bottom of the glass/plastic - where I thought it was leaking from. The super glue worked, but it eventually broke completely in my pocket and the liquid leaked through.
I have just purchased a new one and received it a few days ago. It was working spectacularly until just a few hours ago I was getting onto my bed and my e cig was on it. My knee went straight into it and when I looked at the damage the clearomizer was diagonal and it looked like one of those ones that is supposed to be slanted. I hit it to see if it would work and it did. But then I noticed a small amount of leakage after I forced the clearomizer back to its original position. Now it's burning through my e liquid, after about 30 minutes of use I had already used almost 1ml. Which normally would've lasted me a few hours had it not leaked. I don't want to replace another clearomizer since the only thing I anticipated on having to replace was the heating element inside. But apparently the only thing that breaks on me is the clear part of the tank. I've heard that it should only be screwed finger tight so that the rubber rings inside aren't damaged, because that would cause leakage. I've been doing that with this new one but smh I put my knee right into it and it appears I just ruined another one. Does anyone have any clue how to fix a leaky clearomizer? Here's a pic of it jk no links
Superglue along the bottom seemed to sort of work, but it would leak sometimes which really annoyed me. There's nothing I hate more than loosing e liquid and getting my fingers all sticky with wasted goodness. It's rather frustrating especially since I just received a lanyard that should prevent me from breaking it in the future. Could someone link me to some tips on increasing the life of your e cig, or proper treatment and handling of clearomizer? Does anyone have any recommendations for clearomizers? I've heard the one I'm using is one of the best for taste because there's no wicks, or cotton, or any of that garbage. I have to tilt my ecig upside down and angle it at the ceiling to prevent liquid from dripping down on to the battery in excessive amounts and that only occurs when I hit it while it's upright. If it's dangling from my neck it doesn't get the battery wet at all. I'm thoroughly confused and for the time being I'm just going to look like a weirdo vaping from my handicapped e cig. Thanks for any responses, new here.
Update: Now when I tilt it up hot e liquid soon drips into my mouth, but when I hold it normally it just gurgles. I know that that means there's liquid where there shouldn't be but when I blow through it it literally drains the tank. I was blowing and a lot was coming out, I blew once more, and then I looked at the liquid level. I had blown out 1/3 of the tank and I couldn't believe it. So now since it's gurgling I unscrew the battery and check for liquid after every hit. Every time it comes out clear. Which is odd because this gave me a false since of security about an hour ago. There was a pool of liquid when I went for a hit after walking down the stairs, before I went down,the battery was clean and after hitting there was no pool on the battery.
