my eGo stardusts are leaky......what should I buy next???

[dpaulthomas]

I like the eGo stardust clearomizer, but mine seem to leak into my battery after 2 or 3 fills. Also the plastic cracks so easily. I am open to suggestions for a better product before I place a new order....

Plus I love my new eGo mini 350mah batteries! My e-cig fits in the palm of my hand and I get a 4-5 hour charge per battery, so I'd like a clearo that is compatible with the mini battery.

Thanks for your help!

Mini Vivi Nova!! NO leaking! Same sort of set up, just many, MANY times better!!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Also if you have a problem of dropping your stuff and cracking your plastic tanks... The Mini Vivi also has different color metal tubes that you can buy separately (to change out with the plastic one).

Don't forget to get a steel eGo cone cover to hide the eGo threads on your eGo Mini. It also helps to stabilize the Mini Vivi on the battery.

I'm dripping again, it seems. Had no clue these rebuildables out there hit so nice. Yeah, you do have to drip, but they hold a good two 'vapings' worth of juice. And you know exactly when they need more juice just by the vape quality.

AND you can rebuild the coils in a number of ways. Now that I'm using one, that has me more intrigued. That said, I did also order a bunch of cartomizers yesterday. One of the greatest things about vaping is customization. The tinkering and experimenting is hugely rewarding, too.

All I know is, I don't have a habit. I have a hobby.

I completely agree about the mini nova, that said, I still like to have my Stardust around to hold stronger tasting juice I don't want to contaminate the mini with (in fact I just ordered a couple more I found on sale).

They can be sensitive little critters; in fact, I was happily vaping on one when I read a thread about them leaking and I could swear it started pooling when I looked at it suspiciously. I've been messing around with it, and think my leaking problem is that a bit of liquid gets down the center tube no matter how careful I am. I also think I filled it up too high. The last couple of times I filled it, I twisted a piece of paper towel and slide it up the center tube from the bottom and it soaked up a little liquid. After that, when I attached it to the battery, it didn't leak. I think the mini is better (she types quietly, in case the Stardust notices and starts to cry again), but for me, the Stardust has its uses.

Yes, a hobby! Which RA have you got? I have the Phoenix clone and Ai am liking it. I haven't built a wick yet, still on the factory one.

Another vote for the Vivi Nova...love these things!

Also...for your mini battery, you might like the SmokeTech shorty cartos...I absolutely love these on my mini, And since they are small, I don't get much of that filler taste like I do from other cartos. MadVapes has them, they come in 4 colors. (red, yellow, blue, clear). Here is a link to the blue ones: Super Shorty 1.7 Ohm 510 Blue Cartomizer

Here is a pic of one on my mini battery with a shorty drip tip
