I would try another cart. Yours might be bad. I have not had one leak that bad. What tank do you have and what cart are you using?
I filled it through the filler port that is on the upper side of the tank. Would filling it with a syringe be a better method?

ETA: It only starts to leak when I begin to vape. It leaks all over the outside of the battery.

Even with a new cartomizer, just fill the tank. I don't drip any into the cartomizer. For me, it seems that if the top of the filler gets wet, it's more likely to flood the carto. It doesn't make any sense to me, and I could be wrong, but that's how it seems to work out.
Sounds great I will try that, if that works best for you, then it should be good for me. THANKS

The holes in my plunger aren't "perfect" either, but it all straightens out when it's put together. I hammer on a wooden block. Whack, whack, whack, easy peasy. I whack until I can see the metal ring of the carto show up on the other side. C'mon, a girl can do it, LOL.

Aw, honey, just kidding, I know how frustrating it can be when things don't seem to be working. I only do a few at a time, and I just can't be bothered with a drill. My carto fits in very tightly as well. What kind of syringe you got there?

You could try this with the left over cut syringe body that has the finger tabs. Cut it down to where it is short enough to hold the rubber. Place the rubber plunger in there and use that to square it up and hold it in place before you punch the hole with the cartomizer.

Is anyone considering selling them? My husband and I would love to try a couple of tanks but spending $20-30 each is just not in our budget right now. We would like to try and make them but we don't have the tools that are needed. I don't have a PayPal account but I can send a few bucks if anyone is willing to sell a couple for like maybe $10? I would also need a couple of cut cartos so we can try it. I can even offer 3 bottles of Rockstar juice as a trade for maybe a few extra cut cartos. I have cotton candy, strawberry/watermelon & grapermelon. All are 15ml, 18mg bottles with only a few drops missing. We didn't like them. I'm not sure of the pg/vg rational. Sorry. Thank You!

Im sure someone will sell you a couple on here. They are great when made correctly.

Ok. Thank You very much for the information. :)

I'd offer to make you a couple, but I don't really feel confident in my ability to give you an awesome tank. KWIM? Since those two I mentioned are very similar in price to what you were offering to pay, I just thought I'd mention them.

KWIM? = know what I mean?

The go-go usa site does take credit cards, you have to go through paypal, but choose the option for 'Pay as a guest' or something like that. I don't know what Bill takes. I'd write to either of them first to make sure they could make the tank for your particular carto size, and you can ask about payment then.

It looks like they accept CC's. It shows many options

The black plug is the fill hole. Its a great idea. It allows easy filling with from a bottle. I make my own tanks so I don't have to buy one. If I did not make my own, This is the one I would buy.
Thank You again ricks and spazmelda. I just looked up the go-go tanks. What is that black plug? Is that how you fill the liquid? Also, have either of you used that tank and had any problems with leaking or cracking?
