I have the exact same issue.
I crank my cone down to the battery so that liquid doesn't leak onto my hand. Since the Riva is a manual device, any liquid that gets on the top of the battery isn't going to hurt it.

I do clean everything every night, however. I don't want e liquid from the battery to get inside of my charger. It's not a bad idea to clean your equipment every day. It takes all of a minute to clean the battery, cone, blow out the atomizer, and change out cartridge.

The replacement atomizers (EM 510 @ 2.2 ohms) from Liberty Flights leak like sieves. Only solution I've found is to keep the cone on the Riva while in use and and clean everything every day. Cleaning my equipment a pretty small sacrifice to be smoke free, in my view.

I figure Liberty Flights will get a new batch of atomizers that do not leak anymore. As they say, 'this too shall pass.'

Good luck!

I haven't used the Riva atomizers. However, are you certain that you aren't getting leaks where the cart is connecting to the atomizer?

The e liquid comes through the airholes next to the threads on the atomizer. I left the cone off to see exactly where it was leaking from and so on this particular batch of atomizers the leaking seems to have nothing to do with the cartridges.
My last order of Liberty Flights EM 510 2.2 ohms atomizers did not have this issue. The air holes in the atomizers I'm currently using are visually larger than the atomizers I had before. I figure this is just Chinese manufacturing at its best.
Eventually Liberty Flights will have a different batch of these atomizers and those won't leak.
For me, it's just not a big deal. I have to clean my PV every day, but I should be doing that anyway. YMMV, and I certainly don't speak for the OP.

I had never thought about the cone, I'll use that then. Never used it before. I can't complain, I can deal with a leak, and they've been flawless for 5 wks.
I've ordered the "lite" bundle so I'd have alot of back up parts. So we'll see how those attys are.
I can't complain about LF, everything is working smoothly- I even prefer their jooses over the other vendors- and I thought they really were horrible when I first got them,lol.

Well, it wasn't excessive. If I used the cone I probably would'nt have noticed it until the end of the day.
LF has great customer service and warranty, you could probably send it back. I might not have noticed it before because I was using a PG/VG mix, and now am using Pg only.

I'm not badmouthing LF, it's a well known great supplier here. I'd rather have it leak then burn out.
