Flooding Clearo Fix?

[EmeraldLeo1982]

Does anybody happen to know of a cheap quick fix for a stardust type clearo that keeps leaking small amounts into my 510 battery coupling. I keep it fairly clean with tissue every couple hours, but that's annoying.

I'm using cheesecloth wick and a microcoil. I'm stumped as to why the liquid keeps getting through the wick/coil. I know it's not just leaking through he sides because i always keep it upright, and less then half full. I fill it just enough so my wick tips touch the liquid then I "tip to drip" basically.

It just keeps running down my center pin sadly

Can't wait until HK Post decides to send my rda along to the US..

1) Lay another short wick on top of the coil to absorb excess.

2) When you stop firing the device, give it another drag to ensure all vapor has been sucked out. This is to lessen condensation which may then drip down. Also, some devices do not stop firing immediately after you let go of the fire button, e.g vamo.

3) For the stardust type clearo, it's usually condensation and it's quite common.

And this is why I stopped using them. That and the whole twirling/dry hit thing. May they all rot in hell.


Hope you enjoy your new RDA.

Thanks guys, I'll have to try keeping up on the "extra hit" left after i release the button as I know mine is one of those batts that doesn't stop firing immediately.

I do have a flavor wick on top of my coil, approximately equal in size to my normal wick. I'm wondering if maybe my top wick is too long though? Should it only reach to the edge of the cylinder and not hang down like my regular wick so it helps soak up any excess? I just don't want it to get too dry and start burning since I'm using 100% cotton cheesecloth wicking.

Hopefully it'll help out. If not I guess i'll just have to keep up on it with the tissues until my replacement shows.
