Hey guys,

So, I am on day 2 of using my e-power with resurrectors. I noticed a big issue, however. The cartomizer seems be be leaking from the bottom. When I take the cone off the e-power, it is full of juice. I feel that alot of juice is being wasted, shouldn't it stay inside the carto? I filled two up with 1.8ml of juice... Thanks for your insight.

Gonna be watching this bc I am having the same problem fill it up let it sit an hr or so blow it out and put it on my silver bullet and theres juice just running down the side of it.

Yeah, I don't really get it. I use the syringe method to fill mine and pushed the juice to 3 sides of the carto slowly. Then put the caps backs on and spun it between my two hands to spread out the juice. My second one pretty much leaked all the juice out and the first one is not as bad, but still I see money just leaking out:confused:

I've never had this happen, not that I doubt what your saying and that it's happening with you.

Are you using really thin juice?

Running down the sides of your silver bullet, right? Where does it appear it's leaking from? The battery end? When your filling it, you avoid the center, correct? You are both filling the cartos with a syringe?

70/30 and 60/40 and it's leaking from the bottom of the carto, the end connected to the battery. The 60/40 was the major issue, it seems that the juice has now messed with my switch, as the light stays on constant and will not vape. I blew it out with a can of air and it is back for now. I put the original carto aside and filled a new carto. I am sliding the needle along the side of the carto to the bottom and injecting. I did this on three sides orginally.

With the new carto, that I filled just now, I very carefully pushed it down one side and not all the way down. Then very, very slowly pressed 1.4 ml of juice while slowly pulling up. I then dripped another .4 ml on the top while rotating the carto. This seems to be working good for now. I am keeping the cone off of it for a while to see if I get any more leakage. Maybe I was too rough on the first two fills and somehow separated the middle tube from the bottom and the juice leaked out because of this?

You could always try filling it the old fashioned way. Holding the carto on an angle and dripping into the carto. Give a good thermometer shake to get it all absorbed and keep adding juice until you get a drop out the bottom, or use the condom method and drip into the carto both. I'd do 1/2 condom, 1/2 dripping with the 60/40 because it takes longer to make it's way to the bottom of the carto. Worth a shot. It really stinks to waste juice though.

It looks like I might have success. I think that the blunt tip needles are not the way to go here. I want to find some needles that are cut diagonally. This should make it easier to get in between the filler and the side. Been about 20 minutes and I don't see any leakage on the bottom. I guess I lost a carto to practice:(
