Clearomizer leaks like a seive

[BGayle]

I ordered the Stardust clearomizer and I must be doing something wrong. It leaks juice EVERYWHERE and I'm liable to get a mouthful of juice instead of vapor. Where are the instructions for this thing?

 

[Lowstorm]

With my clearomizers, I more or less just took off the packaging, unscrewed the mouthpiece, filled 'er up and was good to go

You left that little clearish colored plastic piece on, right? If you took that off, it'd let the vapor flood the atomizer. It needs to stay on

That and also the rubber o-ring on the drip tip. If that is missing your in trouble.

How did you fill it. If you are not careful juice will go in the center hole of the silicone cap on the atomizer. Then that liquid will drip out of the bottom. If the liquid is coming out of the bottom of the clearo at the battery connections than that is likely your problem. Other mistakes made is putting on the tip. If you don't snug up the tip on it after filling then juice can get in the gap between the tip and that silicone cap and again you can get juice on the battery or you may even suck up some juice.

In order to fill a clearo you pretty much need a syringe or a needle tip bottle. Or if you are very patient you can dribble the juice in slowly with a regular tip. But you have to tip the clearo at an angle to do that.

Oh welcome to vaping reality. Damn hard to find instructions in it. In this case I will keep my opinion why to myself. I did not say it had anything to do with geography or greed.

Here's a simple video on filling:

Sorry but quite bluntly - most clearos suck- even from the same brand and box, you almost never see consistency. the post is crooked or the mouthpiece dosnt seal the tube or......... on and on. when filling a clearo make sure you tilt it, don't get fluid in the middle, and dont go past the white rubber head inside. and dont lay it down or tilt it too much. I been through tons of clearos and the few rebuildable ones I have that dont leak I baby the heck out of them lol.

I love clearomizers. Just learn to outthink them. All the instructions you need can be gotten from the good people here on ECF.

If you over fill it, it will leak. The juice should be below the wicks. Check out this vid for more info.

If you over fill it, it will leak. The juice should be below the wicks.

After I fill mine, I twist a little piece of paper towel and stick it down the center hole to soak up any excess liquid. I do the same thing up the bottom hole. Since I started doing that, I haven't had a leak. I use clearos all the time.

I have found the Stardusts to leak also. It starts with a drop or two in the driptip and down onto the battery. It only gets worse as they are broken in. I now use Vivi Novas and haven't had as many problems.

I've seen none of that with the Kanger M3s and T4s I've used. I've used the M3s for over a month and the T4s for a couple of weeks.

The Kanger T2 doesn't leak for me either, been using since sept. 1 and love it. 2 out of 3 guys at work like the stardust better though.

There are so many knockoff Stardusts out there that nothing surprises me anymore. The reality is that you either get them from one of these listed sites, or you get what you get.

Double post ........... ecf did it

I've found the problem with Stardust leaking has to do mostly with the wick. Making my own wicks and coils for the Stardust rebuildables has all but completely eliminated the problem for me.

I have figured out that i have a similar problem to this Clearomizer Leak. I've taken some photos so that people can understand i'm not crazy. I'm posting all forms of the link in case the picture won't work for some people:

Now after taking a look, can anyone one of those e-cig wiz's tell me what the problem is and why it is leaking so much from the bottom (it literally fills the battery up with juice sometimes, and i can do the tissue twisty thing and clean it out of the mouth piece and out of the bottom even blow it out a little and if i let it rest after doing that standing up or lying down makes no difference, it is full of juice the next time i pick it up. (that is the clear ones). I got them from myfreedomsmokes.com (both sets, so apparently you get what you get reguardless if they are on that website list of places to order from.) the first ones worked perfect, he now only carries the ones that leak, so i'm terrified to order them elsewhere as i might end up with the crappy "new" ones. Any help is appreciated?!! I've order 14 clearomizers from October 12- November 12 i'm at a loss here i'm going to start shooting first and asking questions later. I'm currently in a battle with them for a refund, and smoking burnt out nasty tasting originals (the blue 4 pack that actually worked). Thanks again if anyone can help?!

NOTE: i forgot to mention that the post at the bottom where the leak is? Well on the blue ones that post is flush with that inner metal ring, on the clear ones the post kinda sticks out a little, you can reach in and feel it with your finger, my husband did take a screwdriver and push that post further in their and it worked alittle better for a couple days but eventually started leaking again, even though the post didn't move, from where he'd pushed it. Just thought i'd note that incase it helps?

How did you fill it. If you are not careful juice will go in the center hole of the silicone cap on the atomizer. Then that liquid will drip out of the bottom.

I'd also like to note i've been using clearomizers a while, i'm sure i'm using them correctly, their is no gap that i can tell, and i'm not getting juice in the whole, any that does get on the white/opaite ring in their i dab it off with a tissue.

Figured it out. You have to tilt it and let the liquid run down the sides, you can't just bung it into the hole. That's what I needed.
