Probably should have posted in the newbie forum, but since I'm using Vapor4Life cartos, I figured this would get the best answer. Some of my cartos, not all, seem to leak from the mouth end after I use them. Sometimes I open my case, and I can see the liquid discoloring the little plastic condom thing. Is there a way to avoid this, or am I doing something to cause this?? I have no complaints with the product, just wondering if it's normal, or if there is a way to stop it from happening.

I'm using pre-filled cartos by the way. Haven't filled any myself yet.

Well, I would check to make sure you are storing them either flat or mouthpiece end up. Next, the best way to fix this problem is to spin the cartomizers and force the juice to the base of the cartomizer.

Here is a video to show you how to make a lanyard to give your Cartomizers a "Taryn Spin"

Hope this helps you out.

I had this with a prefilled ( overfilled cart ) from the factory and they told me to blow it out the battery connector end ,then wipe with a papertowel ...it worked so maybe its overfilled like mine was ? try it .The excess juice cam flying out .

Don't feel bad, over the past 5 months with a lot of help from Snow I've got my dad refilling his own carts... so as a gift I got him a lanyard and tonight went to demonstrate the Taryn Spin. When I told him to grab an empty cart, the .... plug, condom and juice you should have seen the look on his face (he is 70 years old). He did have all items needed, just wasn't calling them the same thing. We had many laughs and I must say all went well.

Is this common MK? For months I used prefills and never had an issue with them being overfilled. I use juice so much now about the only prefilled I ever get are bonuses and they are never overfilled. I guess if it's just a couple of drops out of 25 blowing them out into a tissue, popping the rubber mouth piece cap off, wiping it dry, and putting it back would be the easiest way.

I know you use mostly prefills how many estimated drops of juice do come out when you blow them out?
