I'm starting to get pretty frustrated- I've bought CE4 type clearomizers from three different vendors, and I'm starting to wonder if this is just the nature of the beast, or user error. Seems like in the very first tank use, they start oozing juice into the battery. Is it because I'm buying cheap models (pay about $6 per) or is this just the way it goes, or what? And then sometimes I get a brand new one that you can barely pull a drag from. And yes, I am also frustrated by how soon a crack forms at the bottom ring, and it starts leaking outside the tank. Oy.
