Hi all! I am using the joye eGo-T battery with an XL low resistance atomizer (and XL 2ml cart). I have problems with the cartridge leaking into my pocket or down my battery/e-cig. Is there some way to prevent or fix this? Are other models better are preventing leakage (although I really do like the model I'm using now)?

Have you tried Depends?
Sorry.. I couldn't help myself on that one. I'm just about to receive my first carto's so I cant speak from experience but I read that lots of them leak. I am of the opinion that leaks can be fixed in various ways. Perhaps you can use teflon tape or some other such substance to help stop the leaks?
It's been said you should not put certain models in your pocket because they will leak. perhaps devising another way to carry the PV will help? I look forward to getting my carto's so I can explore this further. Best of luck.

Lol, I can try to fasten some Depends on my e-cig and see. 
I was talking about cartridges, not cartomizers. I've never used a cartomizer, but my cartridges seem to leak.

Ah.. Since that's what i'm using now, I may be able to help. i find these will leak if overfilled or if they get too hot. The liquid that doesn't get vaped off gets thinner from the heat, and runs easier.. also that liquid can boil and get forced through the side holes in the atty.
You have to balance the battery power/ability to vape off the juice, with the ability of the of the atty to correctly vape it all that's in the chamber. Sometimes a LR atty is not the best way to go. Atty's are different and some have more surface area than others. Is it only that type of atty that it's leaking with? If so, that could be your problem.

Every atomizer I've used eventually leaks slightly, even the tanks. I think that it has something to do with expansion, body heat, and the way that atomizers seal. The design is not airtight or you couldn't draw. Thinner liquids seem to leak worse. All VG is probably the best for pocket carry.
I have found it safer to carry my Riva w/ego mega cart, mouthpiece down. I have never had it leak but i have never carried in an upright position.
I've tried that, but there's always a little juice in the bowl and the sides of the cart that eventually find there way into the cracks. Plus, some of the juice that flows out of the bowl is going to find its way into the air slits. Juice in the mouth ... waiting to happen!
The only way I've found to prevent leaking is to go to a 510 or 901 atomizer and use a drip shield.
