when i remove the center plug it works better for me and doesnt seem needed since there is no leaking without it.
so maybe it is a airflow issues but if removing it fixes it for you then the center plug becomes a mystery but it only takes a second to remove it.
i keep the inner plug on the cup ,remove the center plug and mouth opeace and use a driptip, i took it out with me today and it worked great and no leaking
Do you guys remove the lowest inner cap to refill the carto (the cap with the two holes)?
One of mine is leaking excessively, and it was only about half full. I checked all the caps, they are all snug and the cup seems ok. The leak is coming from the coil area, so maybe the section/seal under the Cup got damaged when I removed the inner cap.

yes there seems to be a few that leak, if its leaking bad then use a different one, you can remove the inner cap to refill or just leave it on and use your needle and plastic tip they provided, it slides into the hole with no issue becuase the little holes are now flexible
Ok I'll use a Syringe for the next few carto's and see how that goes.
They really need to get rid of that awful Primer liquid, it totally ruins the flavor of many juices. I wasted 2ml of juice because of the primer (even after dry burning it till red hot). Once I ran hot water through it for 10 minutes (with all the Caps removed), and refilled with the same juice, it was ok.
I dont understand why that can't just use a bit of PG or VG as primer instead of that strange liquid?
For all we know, it could be some kind of industrial lubricant designed for preserving mechanical parts
I bought the 3.7v carto's, yet they still burn easily on a 3.7v device. Even when using a 3.4v Battery, they burn after four seconds.
I'm a bit disappointed with these things at this point. Its only the first day so I'll see how they are after a few days.

I agree with you. Although I've been testing these on different devices, the lower I can go with the voltage the better. The 808D's are good at 3.7v, but great on the LS. If I order any more 510's they'll be 3-3.2ohm.
My manuals aren't sealed either, but I've had auto 901 batts gum up at the diaphram (or whatever you call it). I just figure the manuals shouuld last longer even if they do get a little juice in them.
The only fault I find with the 401's is the ohm rating. The design itself is fine and wicking doesn't seem to be an issue anymore, but I'd like these a lot better at 3.0ohms or maybe even higher. That said, even at 2.5ohms these things are light-years ahead of the conventional 401 atty/cart config.
I'm sticking with the syringe for now. It works fine for me and seems to be faster than wrestling with getting that inner cap back in place. I generally refill a handful at a time and rotate them as they're used up.
Going by the website at the time, I thought they would be 3 ohms. It's not a biggie though. These will be okay. It will probably be a long, long, long time before I order more. Like I said way back there somewhere, these things may last for the rest of my life, heheh.
Do your Carto's have the Primer Liquid as well?
Most flavors are unvapable if I don't clean out the Primer first.
I've seen some fluid in all the ones I've opened so far. I just rinse them well and burn them dry. I haven't had any taste issues with them.
I tried just dry burning them without the rinse, but it didn't work as well.
Possible problem: My XL 808D has started "gurgling" pretty frequently. I've blown it out several times but it comes back. Could be just the one carto, but I'm going to start using the XL 510 and see if it does the same thing. It's almost as if fluid is wicking up to the cup and dripping down the air tube. Hope it's just a bad carto and not an ohm problem. If the fluid's not burning off fast enough it could be building up in the cup.
Anyone else had this problem?

Yes a couple of my KR808's have gurgled/flooded for no apparent reason as well.
I tried rinsing them with the inner cap still in place, but that doesn't work for me since there is still some primer in the reservoir. Water doesn't enter the reservoir if the inner cap is present. Only the Coil area of the Wick gets rinsed.

I don't have any trouble rinsing them with the filler cap in place, but the dry burn takes longer because the moisture can't escape as readily. If you have to, just soak them for a few minutes.
The 510 that I was using yesterday did that, but only when it was not in use for a few minutes. I can take a longer drag and it quits. This is not new to me. One of my earlier E2's did it too. I keep wanting to say that they are wicking too much. On my older E2, it didn't happen when the juice got lower in the reservoir.
lol with the XL I HAVE to put it down once in a while. If I tried to vape this thing non-stop I'd pass out.
Thanks for the "longer drag" tip. I'll try that.
The KR8 cartomizer that I am testing is giving this problem. It also works to invert the unit and lightly tap the mouthpiece on the desktop a time or two. I don't know why this is happening. The 510 I am testing seems to be wicking too much.
"wicking too much" ?????? That's like too much hard disk, desk space or money. there is never enough wicking is there.
