I put my early review up at http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-g4-cartomizer-quick-take-magnus-reviews.html ..

And, for the record, I really like the Liberty Flights VG Cola. Really good flavor.

In terms of leaks, how are you filling it? My wife's first urge was to use a syringe pushed to the bottom and it somehow just came right out of the battery terminal. When she didn't push it all the way down or when I squeeze-drip there were no problems. At this point we've filled nine with different juices between us. -Magnus

I removed the mouthpiece, plugged the center tube with a toothpick and drip it from the top. I will probably try the other 3 later.

Got my pack today and my first impression was very upsetting. First one out of the box was doa. That put a little damper on my excitement. Opened another to try again and I like them. The draw was very tight at first but I loosened it from the battery a hair and got some airflow going. I've tried some Top Vapor blueberry (unknown mix) and some Dekang Ry4, both went through with no leaks and produced enough vapor and throat hit for my liking..

Anyone having leaking issue? I filled one up with BWB Applewood and 1 minute later, it's all over my eGo battery. Open a new one and fill it with just water and it's leaking straight right out. Maybe my batch is not glued properly. I can definitely see glue on the bottom. The leak is definitely not from the center tube as i plugged it with a toothpick when I fill it. I would advice using some PG or water to check for leak before wasting any of your good juice.

Had the EXACT same experience. Tried a few different ones with different liquid and same result. Juice collects in the reservoir cup and pools out of the connector end. Big thanks to LF's customer service. Talked to Ty over at LF on the phone this afternoon and he assured me that they would help resolve the situation for me. So glad I ordered these from LF, as I feel more confident in their customer service. Probably a bad batch as I've seen some others with the result I was hoping to get.

Pics showing what they look like after carefully filled. I tried the syringe method on the one on the left, and dropped into the one on the right, same result. Juice in the reservoir cup immediately, and then pooling outside of the battery onto the paper towel.

UPDATE: Another all-nighter and many hours vaping these G4s later...... at 3.7V these continue to break-in and do well on lighter flavors. I'm starting to thinking really full-flavored tobacco mixes aren't for this cartomizer at all. After some more use at 6V it just got rank and intolerable. Since I'm almost exclusively 3.7V I'm liking these a touch better now but only a touch. -Magnus

ZooKansas, what was Ty's resolution? I hope it's not anything to do with glue. There are some suggested re-glueing it over at another forum.

Got them replaced under warranty. Not sure about the glue issue. I've heard many people prefer these over the vortex's(which are kinda similar). These are working quite well for some people, and they might actually be a good product for some. Just didn't like me I suppose. LF's customer service is AMAZING! Thank you Ty and Abe, and LF staff!. Gonna give the "smoketech dual-coils" a shot, they can be used with a Riva I've found. So, I'm gonna be happy with them for sure. Otherwise happy with boge2.0's from LF.

Oh, I see. Please keep us posted about the replacements if they work. I am not sure if I want them replaced or refunded. Thanks.
