For all of you that use one of these Batts and drip like I do and have a dripping tip with a regular 510 or like me with a LR510, A little trick I have found especially with the LR Attys since you have to keep them very wet is this.

Install you Atty, then At the bottom of the threads on the Batt, where the cone would screw down tight, either twist a thin rubber band around the bottom of the outside of the threads or like me find an Oring that fits perfect around the outside diameter of the threads and put it at the bottom of the threads on the outside of threads, then take your cone and install it and tighten down on it so the rubber band or much better your little black Oring gets crunch up into the cone. Now you have a totally sealed cone and no liquid will run out of your Batt/cone and get on your button anymore. Now you can fill that Atty all you want with juice and keep it very wet and never have any liquid running out on your fingers and you wont blow your LR Atty because its always going to be wet !!! and you liquid taste great this way as well full flavor..!! Happy vaping!!!

You know, most folks would tell you to drip less and vape more. Wonder why that is? Huuuuum, maybe I need to do the rubber band thingy?

Maybe it's just my specific ego and the atty's I have. I have not had a single drip out of my atty's. When I remove the cone there is no residue at all. I am pretty much just dripping. I do love the cart's that came with the ego, but they just dry out too quickly. I'm not ready to mess around with all the cart mods, so I just drip 2-3 drops and vape till the taste changes or vapor drops off and add two more. Simple and haven't had any leakage yet.

Vape On! :evil:

very true i use a tornado which is the same thing, and i have flooded my LR atty a few times and i would take the cone off and see juice in the attys air holes, sometimes alot of juice BUT never have i had it leak through the cone threads. so you must be doing something wrong. the only time i get juice on the outside of the cone or near the battery is the juice from my finger that comes from the cap of my bottle.

I also added a gasket to our ego batts... it feels nicer when you tighten it down... not the whole metal on metal vibe.

I cut the rubber cap that comes on pre-filled cartridges in to little circles... works like a charm.

So far the cone has never leaked... we are heavy drippers so it does get flooded in there some times.

yea i did that with my joker the end cap would sometimes loosen up just a few mm turn and it wouldnt fire anymore so i put some of that tape for PVC pipes, now its a smoother tighter fit, plus i notice that if i want to keep any misfires from happening inside my pocket i just give it a tiny little turn and the device wont fire anymore and the cap wont loosen and fall cause of the tightness,
