When you take the rubber top off you will see a black wire. That wire runs down to the coil. When I unscrewed the bottom brass center with the screwdriver slot that was a brass pin with a wire soldered to it that when I pulled it out was straight. I also found a lenght of hollow material with a wick in it and it was wrapped in a different material than polyfill. When all this was rmoved there was nothing buy the cylinder left with the threaded end. I would guess that the coil is vertical below the wick. Tommorrow I am going to take one to a machine shop friend and have it cut in half. If i do I will post the pictures

So that blows my therory..I figured what made the go-go cartomizers so special was the horizantal coil. since the leo cartomizer vapes as well if not better with a vertical coil.
Guess that is why I am a buyer not a seller....lol

I took a blade between the housing and the polyfill and pulled the polyfill out...polyfill was stuck to the atomizer fillemit and pretty much destroyed it... But it is vertical. There was a large burn hole in the "felt" that covers the atomizer and a large portion of polyfill near that burn hole was gone/burned up. Atomizer still works though! I was'nt real gentle pulling it apart either..lol I may try to put it back together and see what happens...nothing to loose...right?
Ok not there yet mine are not even 24 hours old. So we are not going to be pulling out the filler for cleaning. So we are just going to try running hot water down thru it and let dry for a couple of days??
Thats what i would do...the filler is somehow adheared to the center tube...taking the filler out would be somewhat of a disaster..i don't know if you will ever get it back in correctly...but i will let you know if i can get the one i tore appart back together and working again.
I killed one today. I put it on a battery to twist the black cap off and the battery fired on it's own when I screwed on the brand new carto and fried it. The battery was an older unsealed battery that I am going to throw away. It is lighting up on my desk right now as I type this so I am thinking there is e-liquid inside.
The cooked carto gives no vapor and only the burnt flavor.
I would definitely put a little liquid in through the bottom before screwing it onto a battery just in case I accidentally press the button while twisting the mouth piece off. You don't want to dry burn these at all.

I would suggest taking the carto back off battery for refilling. If you over fill that juice could get in the older non sealed leo batteries. That is going to be my complaint that you can see how much juice left in them. I top off @ least 10 drops every 4 hours just to be safe....
I started doing that too. The batteries I use are all the newer sealed type but I still don't like getting liquid in there and having the little puddle on my desk if I leave it laying on the side for too long.
On a related note, I did manage to get a full 4 ml in one today without leakage. The dripping in the top method works well for me and my vaping gear no longer makes me look like a ...... addict.
Please dont throw that battery away...I have been looking for a dead Leo battery..I will gladly take it. I will pay to have it shipped to me
I will be happy to send it to you. PM me your mailing address. No need to pay for shipping.
Thanks for pictures. Now that you have one apart. today after using one carto the vape dropped way off and draw became hard. I tried blowing thru battery end a few times this did not help. so I then ran a paper clip thru from battery end all the way thru it. It now works like new again even though I saw nothing come out. I do notice small black flakes of something (don't know what it is) inside the carto
Yes it is the plastic from the cover. The coil in the pictures had grud all over it and it looks like it sits part way inside of the tube. The only way the liquid can get to it is through that pad or down the tube. I think that is why after having burnt taste a few drops helped it but only temporarily. The one I cut open was the first one I used and it last 4 days then no power.
mybe the paper clip scratch at the pad that goes around the tube that holds the coil letting the juice in again
Well that's disappointing. Are you saying after 1 day of use, your carto stopped working?
I just bought a Leo Batt and a few cartos, because the finicky Go-Go charger has put me off. I thought the build quality of the Leo is supposedly better.
The Go-Go cartos have been great. 14 days of refilling and constant use on one carto is more than I could ask for.
The pics of that dissected carto look nasty.
I would rather have battery issues than carto issues. I'm thinking I have buyers remorse.
It is frustrating. Leo batteries are high quality and the cartos vape excellent. Think they need a little tweaking on the maufaucturing side. My first one which is in the pictures last 4 days of problem free awesome vaping before its death.
A week would be nice but if it works awesome for 4 days that good enough for me.
