3 Vision Ego long Wick stardusts from gotvapes and they where working good and they still are working great but i am noticing that some juice is being dropped on the battery itself and i have to clean it daily and they are all 3 doing that.

any idea / solution on this?

I also ordered my Ego Twist a couple of days ago from gotvapes. and now am thinking of getting the E1 Clearomizer Revive V2 as reviews are saying that they are really good.

any comments.

cheers and happy vaping
 
Same thing happens to me with my stardusts. I can only assume its because some of the liquid is getting through into the center perhaps where the mouthpiece meets up with the little metal tube and silicone plug. I have actually after every fill started to blow through the middle a bit to get out any little drop that may have gotten down there. Other than that im not really sure. Wish i could help you. Hopefully someone will have an answer soon.

Release the button a second or so before you stop your draw. I found that stopping my draw at the same time I released the button it left vapor in the chamber, which condensates on the tube, runs down it, and collects on the battery terminal. By making sure I've drawn out all the vapor, it seemed to eliminate this issue for me.

I had the same problem as well when I started a month ago. I found out that when you add your eliquid be very careful not to allow the liquid to end up in the space between that white plastic and outer air hole. I started using a few blunt needle bottle caps. If not be sure to pour very slow to insure it travels directly downward and not to end up on that plastic. Always tilt the clearomizer and pour down the side. Make sure both ends are tight, blow through the mouthpiece to ensure clear air flow. I then take a piece of paper towel and make sure there is no leak from the bottom. Turn it upside down, mouthpiece facing the floor and screw in your battery. There will be a little condensation but this should solve the problem. I have not had one single leak since. I use 70/30 pg/vg so it is not so thin. I agree with GWG73 about releasing the button prior to final draw. I do this as well and check the battery every once in a while. Hope this helps out.

I also have the ego-c-twist, pretty awesome you will love it. I was thinking about going back to LR single coil cartos from all the reviews on here as well as Grimm Green stating it is the perfect vape. I just hate cartos. I may pick out a couple just to try. :p

Yeah, I also have leaking onto the battery and into my mouth, but in reality everything else does pretty much the same thing. The leaking is at its worst right after I fill them regardless of how hard I try not to get any juice in the center. The one tip I can add is not to overfill them. If you fill them past the the point where the wicks enter the center tube, I suppose because of gravity trying to pull the juice down, the juice will push out through the wick and onto the battery. I'm still waiting for someone to design something that really doesn't leak, because it drives me crazy.
