New to E-cigs in general. A couple of questions inside.

I bought an eGo-K from Vaporifics. How do I know what kind of clearomizer I have?
My juice (All I know is the flavor is gummy bear has Xlight nic in it, and is clear.) will turn kind of muddy brown in the clearomizer. Why does it do this?
My battery is a K-650, and when I unscrew it from the clearomizer, it will have juice on the connector button. Is that normal?
and finally, whenever I screw my battery into the charger, it will charge, but I have to pull the connector button out a bit every time. I only screw it in until it blinks, once it starts I stop screwing it in. Though every time I have to reset it just to smoke. Is my battery defective?

The discoloration is just from heating the juice that is near the atomizer. Totally harmless (unless you can't remember what is in one and try to guess by color.. mocha and cinnamon don't mix well fyi ;) ..)

There should never be juice on the battery. I'll let someone more familiar with that kit jump in to why it happened, but it could be that you are drawing too hard (so too much juice hits the atomizer and can't be heated properly.)

Judging from the design on the batteries, that is a knockoff brand eGo. Hard to say how durable or how well it will perform over time.

Most juice delivery devices will accumulate some water vapor in the form of condensation within the air hole, so it's not necessarily e-liquid. The condensation often collects in the mouthpiece or will collect on the battery connector.

That's not to say that clearomizers don't leak e-liquid sometimes. If there is more than a drop or two, it is probably a leak in the clearomizer. Too much liquid on the battery contact can ruin batteries if it can find a way in to the inside of the battery, so check the connection frequently and blot up any liquid with a paper towel or Q-tip.

The issue with the battery and charger connector is what I consider to be a design flaw with the eGo line of batteries. It is more noticeable in some batteries/chargers than others. You may wish to contact the vendor if you feel it merits replacement.
