CE5 tend to leak, sometime

[maxd]

I (well, my wife) use(s) CE5
which sometime leaks heavity from the bottom...

kind of strange but not really over-filled or so...

any first points or known hints to look at?

What kind of juice is your wife using? Might be melting the plastic. Other than that, these clearo aren't the made that well and this one might be a bad one.

It's pretty common, if its left on its side it floods the coil and runs down. Keep it upright. You can try adding a fluffy cotton overwick or silica, over the coil to full the juice slots more.

well, it is a default/purchased coils...
may be assembling of the dip after refill somehow too strong/right
that moves coil a bit aside...

2 Susan W. : it is pretty much normal juice, just dont know how to describe it better ... but plastic looks just fine, verified....

thanks for the hints!
will report later if will find my root cause.

Sometimes the coil assembly, tube going up, gets cockeyed and you can straighten it by sticking something in and tweaking it. Actually it gets tweaked from bending it on the battery, put it on and tweak the tube side to side and you will see it move. Just line it up with the mouthpiece. This will make it seal. But a leak there will come out the mouthpiece.

Leak out the 510 is juice flooding the coil chamber through the wick slots. You can pull te silicone coil top out with paper clip and add a little wick over the coil and replace the silicon cap.

Another cause for leaks to check for are cracks in the plastic housing, typically around the base. Even a small crack will cause liquid to flow faster and can create leaks.

yes, cracks might cause the issue but I am lucky with them - nothing yet

2 JeremyR , thanks!.
