Leaky Smok Tech Cartomizer normal?

[zerosouls]

Hi Guys, I'm on day 3-4 of my Smok Tech XL 510 Single Coil Cartomizer.. really enjoying the TH I'm getting off of it.

I refill every hour or 2nd hour during the day and when I refill, I drip about 3-4 drops onto each side of the cartomizer interior along the sides so it drips into the spongy, filter I guess? I do this with the cart unattached from the battery and on a paper towel.

So I leave it on the paper towel and every single time I get some (ejuice) run-off onto the paper towel from the battery end of the cart.. Is this normal? It seems like an awful waste of juice to see it draining out like this. I switched to carto to avoid leaks and the annoyance of using a atom\cart combo but this just seems like I'm throwing ejuice away.

To clarify a little, I am using the same carto (of 5) that I got and haven't switched out to a new one yet, expecting to get a few weeks out of 1 single carto before cleaning.

Anyways, thought I'd throw this at the experienced and see what everyone else is experiencing as far as leakage expectations go.

Thanks ahead of time, you guys are gr8!

A lot depends on the viscosity of your juice. When I was using dual coils daily, I did notice that with my thinner juices the carto would lose a drop or so from the connector when I thought they were filled just enough. My thicker juices didn't seem to do that.

When I was dripping into cartos (before I started putting them in tanks) I would notice that as they got older, they leaked out the bottom more, even with just a few drops. To top off, I had to take the carto off the batt or it would leak all over it. Usually you're not gonna get a few weeks out of a single carto unless you're using unflavored juice.

Ok the thin fluid does make sense in my case. I am using unflavored fluid and the fluid moves very easily out of the bottle tip, so much so that when I begin to move it toward a downward angle it is already trying to seep out and almost escape the bottles sides.

That does clarify things a little, thanks guys
