Update on leaking Cart

[pipskicks]

I apologize but my thread was closed.

My cart that came with the unit was leaking, I don't know what was "wrong" with that cart, but even the cart with the atomizer did not leak.

Just wanted to let people know, for a few days I just kept using the first cart not caring to change it without new juice, so I never knew it was just the cart I was using.

Thought maybe if anyone else had a problem they may be helped by this. Additionally the one that leaked wasn't as "shiny" as the other carts. I don't know if this is a different brand or what exactly it was, but it was visibly duller than the other carts. Maybe just QC problems, but just letting you guys know, it really was a pain and I thought it was my fault for flooding the atty.

Hello Pips! Nice to have an update and read that you are doing fine now.

Interesting about the cartridge. It isn't normal for a 510 to leak unless stored or carried standing on end (cartridge side up).

Have you taken the filler out of the questionable cartridge to compare with the amount in your other cartridges that work fine? I have to wonder if it was a bit under-stuffed which is why it wouldn't hold on to the liquid. If so, you are right about the QC! Happens once in a while. I understand cartridges are filled by hand with the polyfill. If you figure out that it was definitely anything else, I'd be interested to hear about it.

Regardless, cheers to you for figuring it out!
