I am down to my last working atomizer and it is leaking really bad. I have some coming soon. Hopefully by Friday. Can anyone offer a suggestion on what to do to keep this poor thing going for another day or two. I am really wasting juice.

If I put too much juice in mine will leak where the atomizer and battery connect. I am very careful not to overfill the carts. I top off frequently with a syringe and never let it pool when I fill it. I have also noticed thin juice will cause leaking.

Naturally - too much juice will make any e-cig leak. What kind of e-cig do you have?

Ha! After a couple of months of e-smoking my 801, I get my Prodigy and my supply of SIX new, genuine DSE801 atomizers. In screws the atty and puff, puff, puff. Later, I go to unscrew it, and it separates at the band! Now I have a dip-able 801! It still works, but I can separate the atomizer from the shell. (And put it back on and vape it, too.)

So I'm guessing that you aren't overfilling - your atomizer is lose in the shell. To test, grasp the base and slightly twist the shell. If they separate, there's your problem. It was not properly swedged on at the factory.

The one I'm referring to is an 801. I have a 901 and a 510. I never have problems with the 901 or 510 leaking, only the 801. All my 801 batteries are kaflooey because juice gets in them. I have a Prodigy on order, I'm hoping it will do justice to my 801 atty's.

It will. It's like having a fully charged standard 801 battery that stays fresh after the first couple of puffs.

Interestingly, because of more complete atomization, you'll also notice far less juice in your mouth.
