Leo Misconception Explained

[EMRocks]

I have seen a few posts where people have expressed concerns about the Leo having an "open battery end", where liquid could leak into the battery compartment - this is not what it appears at first glance. If you look into the battery end of the atomizer, you will see that although there appears to be a hole, it is in fact SEALED.

I would have thought it is sealed too as the charging port is at the other end and the LEO being a manual battery. Anyway, thanks for clarifying it.

Aha! The atomizer is sealed. I never looked closely (until right now). The battery clearly is not:

Yeah the battery most definitely is not. If you want to make sure you're 100% safe from leaking into the battery, you can take a very small wad of paper, roll it up good and tight, and plug the battery hole with it. I'm not responsible if you do this and end up damaging it somehow though lol. Make sure it's in there enough so it's not affecting the connection between the battery and atty (I used a stylus to make sure it was recessed in there a little bit).

This is the exact same thing that was with all the original ecigs when I first started vaping

none of the batteries were sealed,

there was great issues and crying and moaning about leaking - lol

but many of us overcame the issue or many of us never had an issue,
cos we did not drip
and we did not over fill our carts,

but many came up with innovative ways to plug the battery end hole,

one c;ever one was with a little blob of blutack, like playdough
hahahahahahha

and others used a drop of superglue,

but anyways, as has been said --
you do any of this at your own risk,
and at risk of voiding any manufacturers warranty ..

The battery end of the atomizer is sealed anyway, so there's really no need to plug anything.

Also note on the battery surrounding the raised "hole" is a collection area for excess liquid. So long as you don't pour the liquid into the atomizer, the few drops that may seep through end up in the circular pooling area of the battery, completely separated from the hole.

Yes, I agree, so long as you do not FLOOD it -- you should have no problems with it ---

use common sense and check it once in a while,

and dont fill it to flood capacity -
it is an atty after all, not a juice holder.... lol
