Eliquid dripping

[Sam.1989]

When im filling up my clearomizer the liquid is dripping out of the hole where the battery screws onto. Its a new clearomizer that im using and im making sure when im filling it it is not going into the tube at the top. HELP!!! Thanks sam.

Hi

Leaking is a problem with a lot of clearos. What kind is it?

Its a clear 16 if that means anything?! Can you help?

I've never used one of those, but it looks like a top coil(?) Anyway, little tiny pieces of mass-produced plastic aren't known for their quality, so a high failure rate should be anticipated (if it doesn't happen, yipeee!). For similar clearos, in my experience they tend to perform better if they aren't filled up higher than just below the tops of the wicks. It seems like any more and juice gets into the center tube anyway. If they are leaking from the bottom, try rolling up a piece of paper towel and sliding it inside. I do it until the paper comes out dry. If it's taking awhile, I may just let it sit with the paper in it for a few minites.

This is with a carto, but you get the idea:

It starts to drip as soon as i start filling so annoying! Would you recommend anything other than a clearomizer? Is a carto with a pre filled tip? As you can tell im pretty new to all this! Thanks for you help.

The liquid in a cartomizer is held in batting/filler material that is wrapped around a heating coil.

It can be use alone or if a hole is punched in it can be put in a tank, so you don't have to fill it so often.

(the hole is so it can be used in a tank)

What kind of battery are you using? What were you using before the clearo?

ETA: You can get pre-filled cartos, but most people fill their own to have more varieties of flavors.
