Yep I do that most of the time. I think it has something to do with my juice carto mix, if that makes any sense.
My main vape is Tasty vapor Tobacco Menthol and for some reason with that juice only cartos taste funky quick, no matter what PV I use. Normally a carto will last me a few refills at least before it tastes gross for whatever reaon tobacco menthol cartos cant be refilled more then 2 times with me. So I think what happens is I am juicing more then normal because of the carto. I think tomorrow I will try a new carto with some other juice and see if my paper towel gets soaked as quick. At this rate I have to change the diaper 2 times a day at least LOL.

Well I never thought of this before but I just heard a tip for a different juice mod. PG is thin compared to VG so may run faster . I use mostly pg because I get throat irritation with vg. I am now wondering if my juice is just to thin and runs faster down to the towel. Maybe this is why my wetbox is always getting flooded. just a thought.

The best way I found to clear any unwanted e-juice from the switch (activation button) is to spray "Ignition Wire Drier" into the switch. Works even better than WD40. This not only displaces moisture but it also leaves a barrier that repels future moisture. Just spray and then wipe the excess overspray from around the switch with a paper towel. Start vaping again immediately!
:vapor:

For those that may not know... Ignition wire drier is an aerosol spray used for displacing water from an automotive ignition system. Specifically plug wires, distributor cap & rotor contacts & (on older cars) ignition contact points. So check with your local auto parts store or do an online search. You may want to search with both possible spellings as Prestone spells it Wire Drier whereas Permatex & Gunk have it spelled Wire Dryer.

Looks really good, but mostly the same as WD-40, from amazon : "WD-40 protects metal surfaces with corrosion-resistant ingredients to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements" and wikipedia : "The long-term active ingredient is a non-volatile, viscous oil which remains on the surface, providing lubrication and protection from moisture", so whatever you're using looks like it will both do the job very good.

This is what I did to greatly help the leaking problem.....I cut a stip of paper towel (double thickness) about 1/4 in by 1 in, and wrapped it around where the needle meets the cap, wrapped it tight.....then I took a condom from a Boge 510 cartomizer, which are really thin and pliable, and poked a hole thru the end of the cap, slip it over the needle and fit it around the papertowel wrap. I cut the length of the condom if needed so it meets with the top of the screw cap. push the needle bottle thru the wetbox hole, it will be snug, but I'll tell you, it hasn't leaked since. It's like a rain hat for my Wetbox....LOL

Unless I am driving or doing something else time consuming, I just started taking off my drip tip and manually filling my carto with juice. I vape a lot longer between refills, and as long as I dont put more than 1 or 2 of the drops down the middle hole of the carto, no flooding whatsoever. Problem solved. Plus its fun trying to see how many drops I can fit in a carto and how long I can make it last. So far I'm up to 23 drops.

yeah this is a good mod.. but look at the quality build id say this is worth about $5-10 .. not $40 it just a cheapo plastic thing

You can say that about the cost of most mods...if you properly care for it, it will last you long enough for it to have paid for itself.

Kinda defeats the whole purpose of having a juicer in the first place.

Im just lazy. If I am getting 15 drags between each squeeze of the bottle or 50 drags between each carto refill, I take the path of least resistance. Plus these are known to leak and top filling causes less leaking than squeezing.

This is how I looked at it going in. The wetbox was 50 bucks. thats what I would have spent in a week on smokes. I've had it a month. Even if it would have only lasted a week and then died, I would have spent that money anyways on analogs. The last 3 weeks it has paid for itself 3 times over. I put that $150 i would have spent on analogs and set it aside for my kids Christmas presents.

That's the reason I bought a WetBox, and that's the reason I defend it. It's a nifty little mod at a nice price. It does the job it is intended to do: feeds juice. It might not be as fancy as the other bottom-fed juicers or as well crafted, but when the day is done...it has perfomed for me.

My thoughts exactley. I love mine and it works great. I have no leaking issues at all. For the money how do you beat it. I use it for my all day vape and bring an ego along for whatever else I am in the mood for. I believe most of the problems people have with these that I have read is using unsupported carto's or atty's that will pull more power than the unit wast designed for. I have used it with the approved cartos and again for $45 at COV a very good deal.

Not a good deal if they don't work.

I expect the REO MINI to go for a LOOOONG time. Wetbox mabe a week heavy vaping. Killed 2 in under a week. Just poorly made with cheap components.

I am a very heavy vaper. My wetbox is running 14 hours a day nonstop. My drip tip gets so hot I have to switch it out. Had it for over a month and no issues. As long as you take care of it, you get out of it what you put into it.
