I have quite a few iclears and fill them up all the same way but every now and then run into leaky ones that just pour out the bottom-- no, I'm not filling the middle hole, I think these are just bad clearomizers anyone else have this problem? I don't know if I should throw them away or keep trying and losing juice!!! Ugh!

i use iclear16's.i have found that if you only fill them below the fill to the
second marker from the top it eliminates this problem.
i believe the problem lies in that the juice in the wick is thicker than the
juice you are adding.if you top your tank off,when the viscosity in the wick
and tank equalises it causes a sudden rush of juice being sucked up into
the coil chamber flooding it out and down the air intake.
leaving more of the wick above the fill allows the juice to thin
at a slower rate,and a more gradual even absorption.

I got the wife a petals version that came with the matching 16b. After refilling it a time or two it gushed out the bottom. Only thing I could think of was that the action of removing the base somehow loosened up the coil assembly. I ordered some replacement coils but I don't think she has used it since.
Are they authentic or fake? I have yet to have one leak on me, other than the occasional few drops down the tube, and I fill them to the top line all the time.
My gripe is that everyone I have had has cracked along the bottom ring where the plastic tank meets the chrome ring, they seem to break their mount and pop up, not sure if it's heat related or pressure related. It's not a lot just enough to cause them to leak, you can snap them back but they just pop back out again.
bottom feed tanks are a whole other can of worms.i dont use them.
with top coil the thickness of the juice to begin with might have a bearing
on flooding problems.i never bothered to track what or what not juice
is the main culprit.i just dont top my tanks off as a matter of course now.

You more than likely don't have the coil screwed in tightly enough. Try screwing the coil down to the base even tighter and that should eliminate the problem. If you already do this you should just try keeping the tanks more than half full at all times. If that doesn't work you have a faulty tank.
I buy mine at my local vape lounge. He doesn't have a web page yet for me to share...sorry.
I was just thinking the same thing...check the rubber ring at that union.
