Bud cartomizers-epic fail

[dberkham]

I got some of these today and so I anxiously filled one up with my favorite coffee e-juice to try it out. Wow-doesn't the liquid look cool in these things and really easy to fill too. Sucked down one in no time and go to refill. I filled to the top and juice starts coming out the air holes at the bottom. Blow it out and clean it up and down the road I go. I start to notice that the liquid is starting to not be where its supposed to be-in the small air chamber on the side of the carto-next thing I know it's leaking at the base all over my KGO battery and my hands as I drive down the freeway at 55. No paper towels in the car either. So much for the grand experiment with these clear cartos. Problem is-I ordered 8 of these doggies and there is no return on these pups. Live and learn I guess. Just thought I'd share this info with y'all.

I'm on my third of these. First one I burned up after about 2 weeks, but I'm a heavy vaper. I experienced something very similar to you described on Saturday night - gawd what a mess. When I went inside (I was at a patio party) to clean up I discovered I had left the plug out of the carto when I put the whistle tip back in place. That's the only time I've had a problem with leakage.

I love how easy they are to fill and I too have 8 more ready to go. So far the most pleasant experience I've had vaping. This is the least messy and time consuming - I won't bother trying to clean these. Once they start burning the juice (literally tasted burned) after about 2 weeks, tossed it and start the next one. Good luck finding a favorite. For now these are mine.

I know I put the plug back in when I was done filling. However I will check it out and see. Maybe I sucked on it too hard and it got dislodged or something. I agree with you that they are the easiest thing in the world to fill. I may have also overfilled it a bit which may have led to the problem. Since I have so many left and I am adventurous, I'm going to fill another one with a lighter juice and vape on it this evening (with a paper towel on my lap just in case). Like anything new, learning about the darn thing may be just the ticket. Did you ever clean them out or just stick with one juice during its 2 week life? I was wondering if you could just rinse them out and stick in another juice after it dried. Thanks for the response. I was beginning to wonder if anyone would.
