I'm in alabama and I've tried a few of these things. First couple stardusts worked well. At that time they weren't rebuildable. It was new and better than cartos which I hated refilling constantly. so I hung with them a couple mos. Lately I have found the vivi nova which I love- the mini not so much. The mini is not as easy to refill with some of the juice bottles out there and a syringe works better and the 2 I have leak. I haven't seen any stores near me and after checking online vendors close by{w/in 300nm] What I am finding is local stores are months behind the power curve. They have e-cig alikes that only a newbie would want and very little knowledge of juices or the latest equipment.
 
From your pictures I can tell that the problem with the one on the right is that the plastic tube is not fully seated on the base. Put it down on a flat, hard surface, take the mouthpiece off and push down on it with hard even pressure. I suggest using a towel to pad your hand. I've had this happen to a bunch of mine after being dropped.

I've experienced the same problem with my local supplier and clearamizers. I took my business to Electronic Cigarette, E Juice, Replacement Parts, Accessories just ordered the vision V3's from them (5 pack) have'nt had any problems. Good prices, quick delivery and they are an official Joytech supplier. Alot of companies are selling (cheap) knockoffs. Im a newb too and still learning tho.
Basically though, I had same problem and have had no leaking problems with these new ones i bought.

I was disappointed in clearomizers as well, CE4 leaked and flooded constantly, even while holding it upright the entire time, only filling halfway, and being anally careful while filling. I've ordered one more CE4 as well as a Kanger T3 just to give them another chance, but I also ordered a regular eGo-c atty type A & tanks. I had a eGo-T for a long time and loved the hell out of it, classic tanks hold less, but I never had a problem with them ever. Clearomizers seem like such a good idea, but ime they've been executed poorly. I'm hoping the T3 & new CE4 fare a little better, but I see no reason why not to have a classic atty & tank system.
 
Okay so after talking to the vendor (myfreedomsmokes.com) At first he wanted to argue with me that "we sell 1000's of these and it only happens a couple times so it must be something YOU are doing" when i pointed out that 2 customers who bought them within a couple days of when i bought mine ALSO left a review saying theirs leaked, not to mention i sent him a picture which i made him pull up (the one i posted here) and he had to admit they were different. His "solution" was a refund or exchange at MY expense to ship them back. What i crock. In less than a month i bought 14 clearomizers, 2 ego-c twist batteries and 4 $20 bottles of juice, and you want ME to pay to ship it BACK and you NOT refund me for that shipping charge, in addition, this STILL leaves me waiting a week for him to get them and a week more if he shipped me out an "exchange" so 2 weeks with no nicotine? What a joke. I basically told him to eat ..... and jump off a bridge, we were never buying from them again.

We did a bunch of "jimmy rigging" and though they still leak, we know the problem (but it can't be fixed) somehow the post in the bottom is too far down and even when you get the "cap/mouthpiece" to be flat on that silicon ring it STILL finds a way to pull liquid into it. All we do is keep them as straight as possible and when we start getting the girgle (about every other time you go to take a drag) we unscrew the mouthpiece and tap it and dark icky juice comes out and goes back down into the bottom with the rest of the juice. (who knows how it gets up in there when it's NEVER tilted from one drag to the next, and the cap is flat on the silicon ring.

We've just chalked this up to an irritation we will deal with till we find a better product. HOWEVER we have a NEW problem! :(

My husband's ego-c twist (we bought Oct. 25th) won't work. You can stick like a paper clip down the top post of the battery and the light at the button will blink, if you press the button while keeping the paper clip pressed inside there you can actually make it "cut on and off".

When you unscrew and rescrew on the clearomizer it will blink, but then it does nothing when you push the button at all. I thought it was a post connection problem, so i wiggled the post up and tried that... nothing

If anyone has any ideas i'd really appreciate it!?
