So I've noticed over the past few weeks since I started vaping V4L Wowboy cartos, that they have a tendency to leak through the mouth hole after a while. I try to be as careful as a can about storing them upright, and even started doing a taryn spin before i drop in a new carto just so I know most of the juice is at the bottom. But still, just about every carto eventually starts leaking into my mouth and I have to wipe it off.

One thing I've started doing that seems to help a little, is swapping out the soft-caps of the WOW cartos for a bloog soft-cap. They fit perfectly, and even though the mouth hole on the bloog caps are a little bigger, the shape seems to be a little better at catching that excess juice. They still leak every once and a while, but much less often than than the standard V4L soft-caps.

So I was wondering if anyone else has their own solutions for this problem.

i've never had this problem and i've used V4L cartos exclusively. are you refilling those cartos or are they prefilled and doing that straight from the box?

These are prefilled WOW cartos (being used with auto batts, so it's tough to get all the vapor out at the end of a drag). I haven't had this problem with their CoolCarts, but to be fair, I only vaped them for a few days before I discovered Wowboy.

Come to think of it, leftover vapor condensing makes a lot of sense as to what could be causing this. I'll do a little experimentation with my manual battery tonight to see if it happens when I "clear" the carto every time.

It could be the problem. But they may just be overfilled a tad. A rule of thumb I always followed with the older cartos was looking through the center hole. If you can't see through it, give it a slight blow out into a paper towel. Now, sometimes you can't see through there period(stuffing, or coil gets put in a bit crooked). So it's not a sure thing every time. But give it a try and see what happens.

When are you using Taryn spin on prefilled cartos? Do you know that can cause juice to come out of the stuffing?

Re refilling or adding juice - I rarely get any juice in my mouth with WOW cartos. I don't use tricks to force in a lot of juice. I don't push the juice in with a condom with no view of where the juice is inside the carto. I fill them as intended by popping out the soft cap. I fill them a reasonable amount. I clean up the threaded end, the tilt the open end into a tissue and blow into the threaded end to clear the air channel. Then if there is any loose juice above the stuffing or even if the top of the stuffing looks overfilled, I press a soft bit of tissue against the top of the stuffing. That is a carto that will very rarely leak in your mouth.

I would think storing on the side would keep the juice in the stuffing and not the central air channel.
