My Extreme Vision just totally let the flood gates open for the second time tonight. Noticed I was getting a tight draw and then juice startes dripping. It was leaking out from the battery connection there was so much. This happened twice. I just noticed that it started leaking last night but not that much. There was juice on the post but not enough to fill the whole damn thing up... Has anyone else had this issue and what can I do to fix it before I fry my battery?!

I was just about to place an order for the Visions--I've been hearing so many great things about them but also seem to be seeing people having issues with them--I'll probably still get a few to try them out!Can someone tell me if you need an adaptor to use them on a Provari or is just a regular 510 connection?
ChellyNelly--have you tried a carto tank yet? I Personally I really like them---I've got 8 on the go and they work great --every once in awhile a bum carto but other than that no issues.

$6.45? I don't mean to sound sarcastic or offend anyone but how long did you really expect it to last? Its disposable - order more if they worked for satisfying amount of time. I invested $60 on a stainless steel VPX tank & it began failing after 2 weeks - sure I, replaced the cartos at $6ea which basically all started to fail after a week or so - I gave up on the whole tank thing - for now. Cartos for me are for work only- lasting 5 days & I toss them. It costs me less than $3/week for a carto. For home, dripping is the only real answer - there's no leaks or very little & never a wicking issue. Just my opinion.

Shack22, its just a regular 510 so you should have no problem with your Provari. As for the leaking issue I am a little puzzled. I have been using mine (about 4 different ones) for about 3 weeks now without the leaking issue ChellyNelly was talking about but they will flood out and get gurgly sometimes. This usually happens if you "tweak" the cup seal by lifing it a little to much, have it tilted for a period of time or just plain old condensation in that damn mouthpiece. The only real bad leaking issue I had was one of them didn't seam to be sealed right at the bottom where the tube slides over the connection on the bottom and juice slowly leaking from there.

I had trouble with it right from the start after three days i put it away. That's why i love regular cartos no fiddling you fill them and you vape

It was $6.95 when I bought it and I've only filled it 3 times.... Thank you but I know they are disposable. This is a leaking issue and I asked for help, not a lecture on how long I should use my stuff before throwing it out. Thank you.

I don't think that there will be a perfect delivery system anytime soon - carto's seem to fail because they become clogged, clearomizers like the extreme vision seem to break down when the wick can no longer absorb liquid. When I seen the 60 refils feature, I had my hopes up for an improved wicking fix - it now seems there was a small improvement but nothing on an epic scale. My hopes are now with the eGo-C as there is no stuffing like in a carto or wick like in a clearomizer.

It didn't leak this majorly until I did the Ultimate Vision mod, but it hasn't vaped this well either. Would it leak like this if the cup seal isn't "sealed" enough and it's leaking down the cup when I tip it back up right?? That may be it... Poopstains.

I didn't do the "Ultimate Mod" but the other mod where you keep the original cup seal in place, notch the wick slots so they are a little larger and cut out the little round seal on the inside that the cup originally sat on. Keep me posted Chelly.

Toronto_Mike--I do think your reply to ChellyNelly sounded like a lecture--you may want to watch your tone a bit--perhaps it wasn't intended like that but that's how it came off

I will def try that mod if I get more. We only got one each to try out. If I take the silicone off the mouthpiece and just stick it down onto the cup (sans mouthpiece) it doesn't leak because it's sealed better. But I can't get it to seal like that with it on the mouthpiece. Maybe I need to cut a little more length off the tube??

Hehe yeah, anytime someone says "I don't want to offend anyone BUT" you can pretty much tell something offensive is coming :p:p
