I also definately like using clearomizer's better than carto's. It is a lot less hassle, easier to clean out, etc.
I have been using them for a short time, and have limited experience with them, so keep that in mind. I originally ordered 5 of them to get me started, however they are not vision brand, although they look identical and are for kr808 instead.
I had one that leaked from the bottom, however I did drop it out of my pocket onto the floor, so that probably explains that. Other than that, I can do whatever I like with them and they don't leak. Sideways, upside down, whatever. If yours is leaking you may not have screwed the tip on all the way, or you may have a broken seal inside, who knows. They are cheap enough that I just threw my leaky one away and forgot about it. The next one I pulled out of the box works great.
As an alternative, you could check out a mini tank like the vivi nova, which appears to work just like a clearo but seems to be built a little better, plus you can replace the wick-atty part for cheap. I should have mine any day now, and from what I could tell they are only slightly larger than a clearo (they don't taper in at the top and I'm guessing they are a mm or two larger in diameter).

I use Kanger T2'S and Vision mini Vivi Nova. I have had both hanging upside down, from an SD Keyring e-cig, and neither have leaked. I do remove them from my e-cig(s) at night and store them upright overnight, though.
I've found that a "little" juice gets in under the mouthpiece on top of the silicone cap that covers the coil on the "stardust"(ce4) after some hard use.
I simply unscrew and lift the tip up for a second to release any juice that may have been caught up in there.
Keep 'em in my pocket regularly without issue.
But, as stated above, they are not all created equal.

Clearomizers are touch and go. I've gone through about 50 so far with only a minor snag here or there. Generally, they don't leak. You might get some juice through the air hole when filling them and you "think" they've leaked but usually it's user error while filling. HOWEVER, I did have a couple where the seal at the bottom of the tank leaked a little and ran down the side. Not in the air passageway, but kinda oily going down the side.
DO NOT throw them away until you've watched how to rebuild them on YouTube. Sure, it's only a few bucks, but if you can rebuild them and identify the source of the leaks and fix that, those clearomizers could last you a long, long time.

I use a Vivi Nova and the only time I have ever had it leak was when I overfilled it. Other than that it hasn't mattered if it was laying down standing up, or even thrown in my purse, it hasn't leaked.
I use vivi nova's, the large and mini. Just got a titan which is awesome and waiting on my raven's. I have never had them leak. Not one drop. Just make sure that you get genuine ones. I only buy mine from Gotvapes. I vape 100% vg and while I have to clean a little more often, they vape well. I like that I can just get new heads for very little cost.
Just curious....what do you mean by Genuine ones? One's that aren't made in the original factory in China? All Vivi Nova's I know of are made in China. Do you know of another place where they are manufactured? I'd like to know how "genuine" Vivi Nova's differ from non-genuine ones.......
I am going to try to post a link to an explanation

good it worked, there are knock-offs. this explains it very well. what I thought were my first stardusts ended up not working right. I then discovered they were knock-offs. Bought some real ones and they worl great.
Please don't misunderstand me either, there are many products that many vendors sell that are exactly the same, joyetech would be one of them , many of us vendors sell joyetech, esco , greensound products etc and they are all equal but many of those are copied as well, many of us sell vision products and at times they are all equal, depending on who gets which version first according to which vendor helped on whatever product, or if a company wants a specific set of products to be released by us because of how big we are then that would be the difference but over all if a company is up to date like we are and they sell a kanger product then ours would be the same higher quality product and vice versa. Right now the joyetech twist is being copied, so i would be careful and make sure the vendor lets you know its a genuine joyetech product, the real vendors like us do so, the other less reputable places might not tell you and some will let you know its a copy.
yes, I did read it...and it is true. I have gotten things that were from knock-off vendors..things that did not work right even though I could see posts from people that loved them. When I started paying attention to that...my products work, they last, and they do not fail. You do not have to agree, or believe...I was just passing on information that I found helped me.
No he is not telling you they all are doing it...read the post. there are links to lists of vendors that sell the real deal.

The way I read it he was saying many vendors sell the same genuine product, e.g. joyetech, but there are others who sell knock offs. I didn't see him saying they are all doing knock offs tho. Incredibly long sentence in that post - wow.
That's the whole point...there IS NO SUCH THING as a Knock-off vendor....they all collaborate on the next device. Sure, one company may have a week edge on the rest, but everybody is building the same thing within a week. Unless you live in Asia and know the mentality of things here, you have no clue......
I do not wish to get in a argument match with you, or anyone. And I do not wish to have someone making cracks about my sentences and posts. So I am gone...I was just trying to help someone get a product that might work for him. Have a nice day.
I live close enough to have a clue.
I agree - sometimes it's about the same technology/product and just slapping a different brand name on. That happens in the West too. Sometimes tho it is an inferior product without the same QC.
The long sentence wasn't yours. It was in the post you linked to - I mean seriously he had about four or five sentences in one. A few periods would have helped.
