Leaking issues with the eGo-T tank cartridges

[Revealed]

I recently purchased a two five packs of the eGo-T tank cartridges, one blue and one black, to use with the Joyetech eGo Type A LR atomizer that I purchased with my initial order. I also ordered eGo-T Type A rubber replacement tank caps with the tank cartridges, because some forum members advised that they are better than the plastic end caps that they come with, in that they don't leak as much. So far I have only used the blue ones and they leak, A LOT. I tried using them with both the plastic and the rubber end caps and the leaking is pretty much about the same. So I also tried only filling them with just 1 ml of e-liquid instead of filling them close to the edge, but the problem persists. I would say that so far I have wasted about a half or more of my e-liquid due to leakage. It leaks down the bottom end and will get the battery wet and even come out to where you push the button on the eGo battery.

Have other people reported this problem or am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hiya - What did you figure out?

Thanks

Well when you look down into the atomizer, it has these two lines, making a small semi-circle, let's say at 12 and 6 o'clock. So if I insert the tank, I just make sure that the two little cut in parts of the tank is at 3 and 9 o'clock. This seems to have stopped the leaking altogether

I'm using the same tanks, with the same problem. I just tried you solution, didn't work for me. I have yet to try the soft caps

Its not the caps. Its how you take a drag with these tanks systems. If you take hard fast drags with this system you will flood your atomizer and it will leak. Its unavoidable. The faster and harder you take a drag, the faster and harder that atomizer gets juice. Just take a slower lighter drag and you will be fine. The tank system was my 1st e-cig and I still like it, I just have to remember I can't hit it as hard as my cartomizers.
