leaky clearomizers

[erictho]

Hey.
So I've tried a 5 pack of clearomizers and I'm almost completely satisfied with them. I didn't notice an issue with leaking through the bottom attachment piece until recently. There will be times when a full bead of liquid will leak from the bottom if I place my finger to it. Often enough when I go to assemble my unit my clearomizers will be sticky and gross inside their carrying case.
Recently I also had the tube of one clearomizer unglue as I attached it to my battery. I lost the o-ring at the bottom and I expected leaking problems, and have experienced them.
Is this something that happens after a few weeks of use? It kind of sucks, but overall I find they're by far better than the atomizer/tank system I was using before.

Edit: I should also note that the leaking seems to be sporadic, not perpetual. Has anyone else experiencing the same issue found that the problem worsened with increased use? I'd hate to turf them before the heating element refuses to work, but I do want to preserve as much liquid as possible.
Thanks.

Hi Erictho yeah similar to my experience now i have been useing an acorn tank that has the ce2 in it .
Same as a clearomizer but different tank and with screw on cap the tank gaskets do not leak.
It does not look like a fancy stainless cap tanks that cost 50.00 because this one only cost 10.00 with the ce2 installed.
In this pic you can see i cut the outer tube a little long but does not affect the performance in anyway.
Best think these do not leak period.Hard to see but there is a wick on each side that go to the bottom, same porcelain coil .
Got mine from parkesvaping.com called an acorn tank.

thanks for the tip. after doing some reading around i've discovered ce3's in general and will be trying them out in the future. for now i ordered another 5 pack of ce2's, which wasn't the most ideal choice but oh well. i've read a few reviews and the ce3's seem to be a little more secure and overall more hardy. but i've been getting at least a month of awesome use before they start doing jerky things.

I saw on a vid that if you tilt them enough that the juice goes up by the cup, and if the rubber cap that fits on the cup isn't down enough, the cup can flood and it will come down the middle like a carto does.
I've tried to keep mine upright, and no leaks!
