I've asked this question before, but is it normal for liquid to drain on to the battery? Is this extremely dangerous for the longevity of the device? Are these made to be able to stand some moisture on the battery area? Please help. Thanks.
EGO CE4 Liquid on Battery

It's irritating to have liquid drain onto the battery, but eGo is a sealed battery that isn't going to malfunction because of it. I'm assuming it's a battery with a button you push to vape (called manual), rather than one activated by just sucking air through it (called automatic). Automatic batteries usually DO have air holes into the battery itself, and would have shorted out already. So you'll be fine, though irritated by the leaking, until you get a tank that that doesn't leak. That said....don't submerge the battery in the bathtub or anything. It's not THAT sealed. Clean with a q-tip or tissue.
I had a couple of automatic eGo batteries temporarily out of action due to leakage from cheap ce4s. A quick cleaning of the contact area with alcohol and a Q-Tip, then drying overnight, always brought them back ...
If you like eGo style, check out the eCab. Clear tank to check juice level, and minimal chance of battery contamination. I like everything about it except the small button, its hard to find in the dark ...
Just this morning, I accidently flooded my eCab by installing a tank without the silicone end cap (duh), it dumped about a ml of juice around the atomizer. But the o-ring around the atty seals the battery contacts, just a better design ...
Or if you really like an automatic (I do), take a look at the eRoll or Ovale eMini (same thing). The battery is also protected by an o-ring around the atomizer base, unlikely to leak onto the contacts, although it can happen with a thin hiigh-PG juice ...

As stated the eGo manual batts are sealed at the connection. The only way liquid could get in is through the button area and that's usually not a problem unless something odd happens. I've found, in general, that Kanger clearos leak less than the CE series but ymmv. Much has to do with the various seals inside and out with the clearos. I eyeball their location on each fill-up.
If a batt gets liquid in it and doesn't fire - putting it in a bag of rice can sometimes work.

The ce4's and similar are known to leave puddles on the battery post. My advice is to find yourself a different atomizer. Kanger bottom coil clearomizers come to mind and are rebuildable.
A little moisture is normal, but ejuice is not.

i have noticed that mine do what you are saying but my mother's... who uses a rebuildable ... does not seem to do that yet (she has only used it for about a week)... perhaps there is a difference in the clearomizers in that respect... hth
