Those that are leaking are probably just too full of juice. I use paper towels and hold the carto over the papertowels and gently blow into the mouthpiece so that all the excess juice comes out the other end. After I've blown all the excess out onto the paper towel, I then clean ALL of the juice off the threads and bottom of the cart and let dry before I attempt to connect it to my battery.
The carto that tasted burned may have been too dry and needed more juice. Most people learn through trial and error about how much liquid is enough. If you are feeling/hearing a gurgling sound when you take a drag - too much juice!
Hope that helps a bit.

i get the sizzling sound every hit. Its enough that everyone around me can hear it. Is this normal?
Yes, sizzling is normal - some do it more than others.
Also make sure to give your cartos a good shake or spin after filling to make sure the juice is distributed thoughout.

The "sizzle" is the heating element in the atomizer part of the cartomizer heating up the liquid. All of my cartomizers make that sound. When they don't, I don't get any vapor from them.
How did you fill them? The various cartos have different filling methods. And some people use quicky methods with some like juice into one of the center end holes (I don't know which) or pushing it in with a carto condom but I don't think those are really the right ways so I wouldn't be surprised if some juice is not where it's supposed to be.
If juice is getting in your mouth or dripping out the threaded end center hole, blow the carto out into a tissue (blow throw the mouthhole while holding a tissue on the other end).
If you removed any kind of inner seal to fill (the right way with some) then make sure it is seated properly.
If they are V4L cartos, check Youtube for any hints in videos for refill Vapor4Life (or refill Vapor King)

For me, the easiest & quickest way to fill a carto is to drop in the battery end one drop at a time. You can see it go in the hole. If it doesn't continue to go down, you have too much. I then wipe off the battery end with a tissue. Then put the tissue over the mouth end & blow through the battery end. Any excess will come out.
I have used both types of cartos, the regular ones with filling, I just pop the top off and drip till the filling looks a little mushy, but not swimming. flick it down a few times, like you are shaking a thermometer, and top off. Pop on the cap and vape away.
The ceramic ones (CE2(v4), I pop off the top, remove the inner ring(promptly throw it away) and use my syringe to fill it, or, my paper clip to pop that last ring/cap out and drip fill it. Replace cap and top and vape myself silly.
The reason I moved over to the ceramic ones is because the ones with filling, if they get a little dry, they burn. After pulling one apart one day and seeing a huge burn hole in the center of it, was the last time I used a carto with filling in it.
