Dumb question, leaking carto

[bigaak]

So this is dumb question, I use a tank with a 2.0ohm cartomizer. Now after vaping for few minutes, It starts clogging/hard to pull and makes that sound like liquid is slushing. So everytime that happens, i get juice in my mouth, or it just stops pull since its clogged up. I noticed everytime this happens, I take off my tank and my device (vv vm) has juice to where the tank screws in. Could my carto be going bad. The tank is fine, its not leaking. The liquid comes out from the bottom hole of the carto and leaks on where it screws in. Also I dont overfill my tank.
Any ideas?

try blowing through the carto into a paper towel and let us know how that works.

I've been there... had CE4-5 and whatnot stardust style cartos that just leak.
No matter how I use them, how much I fill them. Eventually juice gets into air pipe and in my mouth and on the battery. Same as you're describing.
Now I'm buying genuine stuff only and don't have any leaking issues.

Edit: Blowing out liquid from air pipe sometimes ended with blowing out all liquid

That's what I usually do. When the carto is inside the tank and I blow onto a towel, it pushes out all the liquid from the carto on the towel. Then i see that it starts blowing out liquid from the tank into the carto and down the hole onto the towel. But usually when i take apart the tank/carto off the mod, the liquid is usually on the mod where the carto screws in. So i know when im vaping for a few minutes, liquid starts seeping out the carto onto the mod where it screws on. Could the carto be going bad?

That is corrent DiNet. I ordered a whole new tank system which seems to be better... hopefully.
And you're right, blowing into the carto just blows out all the liquid from the tank.
I thought about replacing the carto since the tank is fine, but i just decided to get a whole new system.

Som cartos have known to become super saturated after using for a week or two.My Smokteks will do this if I go too long between changing them out.

At any rate good luck with the new tank setup!

I'm still overwhelmed by all terminology and amount of HW.
I was referring to cartos clearos like on picture

I'm using now Vivi nova's exclusively and have 0 issues so far. No leaking, burning. But I've ordered them from gotvapes after pbsuardo's review. Maybe overpaying for shipping (intl.) but at least I know I'm not getting knock-off.
I got 3 cartos CE5 (from image) and 1 of them is "pass through" for juice. It just goes through... second does what you describe and 3rd started producing burnt taste after 15min.
Blowing out liquid was only with worst quality cartos... so you might rethink where you buy those.
I was confused by those. I mean they look the same... exactly the same. I took them apart, but everything seems to be the same, insulation is in place...
Learned my lesson to buy only from reviewed places, saves money in long run

Those are clearomizers not cartos

Those are clearomizers not cartos

That's what I meant... I still keep calling them - cartomizer

Lol is alright its a lot to learn and take in. One of the reasons why I say vapers are smarter than your average smoker....we have to be to learn all this stuff.
