Leaking through bottom

[flarg]

Various juice delivery devices of mine are leaking through the bottom. Through the bottom atomizer air hole I guess, and maybe through those little side holes too in the bottom. It then pools on the battery connection. I can tell this is happening when I get gurgling. Sometimes I twist a paper towel into a small thread and stick it up the air hole from the bottom and also the top and it absorbs juice.
The devices I've been having this trouble with are:
CE2s (GotVapes Fluxomizers)
Apollo tank
DCT tanks
CE4s
Etc.
Some are more repeat offenders than others. Not all of these leak, just some. And some just might leak just a dot, but others nearly flood. I try and make sure it's all clean and dry before I put it on the battery. I do not fill my cartos from the bottom (that soaking method I've seen for some fiber-filled ones). I don't think I fill my things too full: for those with level indicators I try and fill just to the top measurement line. I rotate and keep wicks wet.
It does not seem to be juice or battery power related. My juices are higher VG (average 70%VG). I use fruit, sweet, and bakery flavors mainly.
I don't know what I am doing wrong.
It started recently, even with new devices I've recently purchased. I was wondering if it was perhaps because it is colder now, and the base temperature of the device then gets heated up so fast that there's some disparity in heat displacement/material expansion or something? If that is the case, then that's gunna suck with the temps lowering and lowering...It's not that I'm keeping them outside--just on my nightstand indoors. And I'm not one of those people who sleep with the windows open in the freezing winter. I do not understand those people.

I swear that I have seen the Apollo tank but now I can't find it. Can you post a link? Anyway, here's my story on "clearomizers" and DCT tanks.
The CE2 and CE4 devices have a center air tube, which I'm sure you knew. When the clearomizer is tipped or laid on it's side, it will collect excess liquid in it's ceramic "catch cup" where the coil is. Or if it's over-filled, the liquid will seep in through the cutout for the wicks. This liquid has nowhere else to go but down. Right down that air tube. When filling a clearomizer device, fill it to the bottom of the catch cup. It's usually at the bottom of the silicon cap over the wicks. Twirling the paper towel up the air hole is a good idea and a method that I have used in the past. Final word, NEVER leave a clearomizer device on your PV unless you are using it or you know that it Will NOT leak. This has happened to me too.

The DCT tank... how many holes are in your cartomizer? 3 holes = very easy to flood. I assume you're using the SMOK flanged cartos. You are correct in your thinking of heating the juice in a carto tank. Since the coil is basically located in the tank and the juice is all around it, it will heat it up. Have you ever worked with VG when it was warm. It flows pretty easily. 1 or 2 holes should be all you need for a carto tank unless your juice is VERY thick. Check out MadVapes, they have any kind of SMOK flanged carto you could need.

Hope this helps. I'm going to be trying a Vivi Nova very soon. I have heard excellent things about the new one and I'm hoping there's no leaking.

It a looks like a this a.

Yep! That's the one. From GotVapes?

You know what, I really do think it's weather related. It has warmed up some here and I'm not having the same leaking issues, and nothing else has changed. :-\ Not looking forward to winter...
