Maybe it's not a good tank. Cheap e-cigs tend to come with very old-design plastic tanks.
Mine had something called a CE4 clearomizer. It took me two weeks to build up to using it (it also came with 10 cartomizers) and lasted under 24 hours. I went back to cartomizers. :)

Now (these days) they are some good tanks. Most need a good battery though.

It's worth taking it into your local vape shop as it could be a variety of issues from not wicking properly to a faulty coil. And you said a couple of drops.. do you mean that literally? If so try filling the tank ( no I don't mean that your an idiot cause I did some way sillier things than under filling the clearo)

when you have a new coil head, it's best to let it soak in the tank for about 10min before the first initial use. Otherwise you wont break the wicking material in and it wont fully saturate. This is a common mistake made by new tank users, just get a new coil head and let it soak before using it. If the problem persists turn down the voltage if you're using a regulated device or get some higher ohm coil heads if you're using an unregulated device.

You could try taking some hits drawing in air--without firing the button about 4 or 5 and this draws some juice into

the coils and gets the wick good and wet. if you take rapids hits from a small coil you can dry it out and get dry hits.

Once you get the wick good and wet it should keep up with your frequency of hits/draws.

Poor wicking with thick ejuice can often be overcome by taking very "slow" drags.....in case you don't want to toss any coils you have for this thing. Also drop some PG or distilled water into the ejuice, thin it out a bit. Sometimes, it helps to just pull the stem off the coil compartment, inspect it, then put it back together.

Mine kept leaking fluid because the rings weren't seated properly, if the coil/atty dries out it tastes awful. Doesn't go away either. I went through a few coils before I figured this out. You have to prime it (dry pull, no button). If you hear gurgling, it's leaking. Take it apart, blow it out and put it together again carefully.

Well.. maybe try buying branded ecigs?? Cheap ones usually aren't that good, especially the disposable ones.. I've tried some cheap ones you can get and dispose.. the quality isn't that good and the aftertaste is a bit.. revolting...
If 'branded' means Kanger, eLeaf or Aspire or Innokin, I agree.

If branded means Vaporfi or Apollo, then I am less happy to agree.

If Vaporfi charge $119.99 for a $39 Kanger e-cig, you may as well buy the Kanger version for $39.

Not always. My Aspire BDC gurgles yet I have no leaking fluid? Though I'm not saying that gurgles are good either.
