I've recently started vaping with these clearomizers on my eGo C Twist battery. The battery is great but after a couple of days using the clearomizer I notice it leaking juice through the seam where the plastic meets the metal towards the bottom. It's not leaking from hole in the bottom, just on the outside and if i leave it overnight I notice the juice ran down the outside of my battery. I'm using the menthol juice for eliquid depot which i purchased from a brick and mortar near my house. Any ideas?
Vision eGo V2 Clearomizer problem?

first and MOST importaint never leave the acc's screwed on the battery when unattended.
im not sure of the exact model but most of the non rebuildables are disposable anyways. could have been bumped, loosened or just the menthol flavoring isnt good for the plastic and working its way through.
best I can say is try to push it back together, set it on the table and push down on it, or chuck it and get some others that are rebuildables.
(love the pic of Rigby btw.)

Hi spacecat and welcome to a great forum.
Ive been using Vision V2 since july and suprisingly never had leakage where you describe, drops on the battery top, yes. The plastic tank may have a crack and could be repaired. Or, its not sealing at the base. Having taken these apart many times and put back together without leaking, suprisingly, i can only surmise that yours was manufactured wrong. The metal base has an o-ring of larger diameter than said base and is a press fit into the plastic tank with a metal ring over the plastic tank. The o-ring is missing or defective, the tank is out of spec. etc. Hopefully you don't have any others like that. Good luck
Sorry I can't help but have simjilar question! I have some clearos that lasted months and then again, some only a few days 
Some must have hairline cracks that we don't see until the juice is leaking out! I've had it happen too, where I can't see any reason why the juice is leaking out. If they do get a small crack, how do we seal it to keep using it? or are we supposed to just chuck it?

Hi Thrasher,
Did you mean to say, never leave the batteries on the charger unattended?
no i meant never leave a vaping device attached to the batteries while unattended, not like taking a shower or something- like sleeping or going to work for 8 hours, While the chance is slim to none, the last thing you want to do is wake up to your house on fire because the battery rolled off the table, hit the floor and somehow got stuck on, in turn frying the coil inside the clearo till it melted and caught the couch on fire, safety first, it just takes one extremely impossible accident to ruin you day permanently. and it only takes 20 sec to screw the clearo back on.........................

just pitch it, it you would like to stay with using clearos many of the newer models are rebuildable, in the end when the plastic goes it goes. but if you can get a month or so then 3-5 bucks a pop isnt bad at all really, and now with the newer ones coming out in force the older c2(nonrebuildables) are cheap so pick up a handful and use em till you lose em.....................VAPE ON!
also many of the heavy acidic or caustic juices are rough on polycarb type plastic (which most clearo,s use, if you really like the clearo style move up to some of the bigger tanks, they work the same, head and wick, but a lot of them use more resistant plastics.

Hi Searching4answers, i haven't had that problem on any of my Vision v2, but if i did, and it was fairly new, i would attempt to seal the leak. I would try epoxy.
Thrasher, that's a really good point! I always leave my PVs assembled and turned on when I go to sleep or leave the house - probably not the greatest idea for exactly the reason you mentioned. While I might not start taking apart 6 PVs twice a day, I think I will now be turning them all off
Spacecat, I've used a version of these clearos a lot in the past and still have a few in my daily rotation. Never had one do this, just the occasional bottom hole leak. I might try to push the clear body onto the metal ring gently with a vice, but would more likely just toss it.
If your clearo is made of polycarbonate then it may be reacting with the juice. A polypropylene clearo won't react. There's a list of juices that react with polycarbonate clearos and tanks here:

YES, nothing wrong with being and acting safe.
That said, I would mention, all my batteries - Joyetech, generic and now Kgo - have a 10 second shutdown. If the button is pressed for 10 seconds, it flashes and stops. But, even if that wasn't true, or that safety system malfunctioned, i for the life of me can't get that button to fire by me dropping it. Then again, anything is possible, so if we carry this further. How many of us shut off the main breaker to our electrical system?

I hear ya JUDGMENT AFFIRMED. Still accidents do happen and most of the time I think they are the result of multiple things going wrong which come together in a bad way.
A few months ago I had the plastic battery cap on my LT separate from the aluminum end cap underneath it. In the process of gluing it back on, I screwed the aluminum piece too far into the tube and pushed the circuit board up with the battery so that I could see the bottom of the readout in the tube window
. I know, stupid move, but no damage seemed to be done as the PV worked just fine afterwards and now I know and will not do anything like that again!A couple of weeks later I mounted a 510 to eGo connector to the LT and put on a eGo Clearomizer. It would not fire so I checked the LT center pin which was OK. I then tightened the clearo a bit more on the LT and a few seconds later discovered the LT was hot at the connector end - without me hitting the fire button. Took it apart, figured it out and fixed it properly. Still use that LT and have not had any issues since then, though that is one PV I have always turned off when I've left it since then.
This was the result of multiple mistakes due to user error. Mistakes always seem dumb after the fact and I think we all think to ourselves 'I would never do anything like that'. Having said that, I think that both issues *could* have been caused by drops or manufacturing defects alone (however unlikely), so even without user error things could conceivably have gone downhill. I know I will not be shutting off the main breaker to my electrical system when I leave home. But turning off the PVs I leave at home is not too daunting so I might just start doing that. Just saying.

I don't use stardust for that reason, they leak. Whether rebuild-able or not. they have not worked for me.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and welcomes! Just as a quick little update I've since bought another clearo and a new juice and have had no problems thus far. I'm just guessing it was sold to me like that, which is a shame but oh well what can ya do? Now looking into getting a carto tank system, this place is too fun!
Now looking into getting a carto tank system, this place is too fun!Mine cracks after filling up some COLORED JUICE..
Been using it for a week but when i bought a new ejuice with color, it cracks and i stop using it.

I have this problem on 2 of my 4 clearomizers. What causes this and how do you fix it?
Is that what causes it? I only fill mine to 1.6- the top line and I try to be careful letting the juice run down the side of the tank and not dripping in that center hole.
Had this problem for a while and then realized my 1.6 ml line was just at or above the point where the wick goes inside the tube. Keep your liquid about 2 ml notches below the silicon center tube cover.
Also, a few quick, hard blows through the center (blow through the drip tip after it's screwed in snug) over some tissue and wiping the underside of the connection dry before connecting to the battery helps.
I've also found to ALWAYS keep these upright. Don't lie them on their side. Don't invert them. If you have to set your battery down for a length of time, disconnect the clearo from it so you can stand the clearo up. The ONLY time or reason to even give the clearo a slight tip is when you need to nudge the wicking. Even then, I'm careful never to go horizontal.
Solved most of my issues with "disposable" clearos. Hope it helps you.
