When i got my eGo-T i pushed the empty tank onto the atomizer to make the hole, thne take it out again. I then filled it with liquid using a syringe through that hole (not totally full, but close) then even if i held the tank so the hole was facing the floor, no liquid would come out. I then looked at the base plate inside the atomizer (right in there at the bottom) taking note of the 2 straight sides, i then lined up the straight sides of my tank, so they would sit flush on the straight sides of the base plate (line it up). Then push the tank in firmly and don't twist it once it is in, twisting can cause leaking.

Just double check there are no cracks in your tank, and are you definatly using type A tanks?

Have a look on you tube if all else fails.

Yup, the way I fill it is by placing the rubber stopper thing that it came shipped with that has a little "nipple" inside of it. So, after filling it, I remove that rubber stopper and pushed the tank into the atomizer. That's when the tank goes from being filled to zero in a few seconds. Then when I take the atomizer off the battery, I can feel the wetness of the e-liquid around the threading of the battery and also in the battery

this right here sounds like your filling it with the rubber end caps on then removing them when you put the tank in the attomizer.. that end cap must be on at all times. these are the end caps Joye eGo-T overflow prevention caps, eGo-T rubber caps, eGo-T tank caps

if this is not what your talking about you need to post some pictures so we can better assist you. i think your doing something incorrect which is totally normal for someone whos new to this style.

Take the tank, remove the little tank cap. Fill it with juice. Replace the cap on the tank, and make sure it snap into place. Slide the tank into the atomizer and press firmly until it snaps into place. The snap in the puncture by the spike\wick. That's all. This exactly how I fill mine with no issue. The juice only depletes as you use it. If the juice is instantly spilling into the atty, something is wrong.

I'm putting the e-juice in the mouth piece end, after removing the two small plastic pieces inside of it with a paper clip.

The juice needs to go in through the top of the tank (the end that clicks into the atomizer, not the end where you suck from). There is a little reservoir inside the tank which will hold the juice. If you fill it properly, the juice will stay in that reservoir. If you fill it correctly and the juice still drains into the atomizer, then you have a defective atomizer...and possibly tank. Try brand new tank and atty.

After watching the video that you linked, I decided to open up another cartridge and filling it the way the guy did on the video and it works fine! I think that the leaking problem I had with the first one may have been that I did not snap on the two little plastic pieces at the mouth end of the cartridge right or all the way, thus not creating the right amount of suction. Thank you so much!! :vapor:

So over the weekend I received the eGo MEGA cartomizers Five eGo MEGA empty cartomizers - Genuine Joye and had some difficulty in figuring out how to fill it. Then with the help of ECF members, I found out that the way to fill it was by using a paperclip to remove the two tiny pieces on the mouth end of the cartomizer, then to puncture the seal and use a syringe. So when I received these type A atomizers and read the instructions on A package of 5 clear blue tank eGo-T cartridges (Genuine Joye!) I thought that I filled these the same way..... Boy was I wrong, thank you everyone for all your help, I sincerely appreciate it

I am having issues with the tank cap becoming stuck on the spike in the atty. After prying a couple of them out, I gave up and just snapped the tank back in. It clicks when it seats on the stuck cap.

I am on day two with multiple refills. No leaks, no problems. I just pull the tank with the batt held upside down, then fill the tank and snap it back in.
