Why shoidnt u?

I have seen on some threads that u should not fill a ce2 or the like while it's attached to the battery? I don't want to sound dumb but what is the reason for this?

Probably for the same reason you shouldn't fill anything while it's attached to the battery: You don't want leakage. I don't know why CE2s would be singled out since leakage usually only occurs when you overfill and the liquid and some of it runs into the cup and down the center post.

For me it's just easier to fill when it's off, then again I keep a couple filled at once so all I have to do is swap CE2's and can vape while I refill.

So is there no danger in filling while a cartomizer or ce2 while it's on a battery? I just want to make sure lol lol. It's purely personal preference?

If you have a manual battery with a totally sealed threaded end then in general it is safe to fill things when on the battery. However, if it leaks, it will short the threaded end between the center post and threads and then you'll have to take it off and dry the threaded ends of both parts.

If you have an auto battery or any manual that still has a hole in the threaded end, then it's not safe to fill things on the battery. I don't use CE2's. If they never ever leak out the threaded end then I guess you could take your chances filling while attached to any battery.

As with what dormouse posted, there isn't much danger with a sealed manual battery unless enough juice leaks out to run down the body and possibly short the switch. CE2s in particular don't have a whole lot of issue with leakage as long as you're careful filling. I've found that you have to fill them relatively slowly, as if you fill too quickly and the liquid is anything more than pure PG, it doesn't slide down past the edge of the cup fast enough and some can back up at the lip and run inside, which means it's on its way down the air tube in the middle, thus leakage. The new CE3 smokeymizers are more of an issue because of the bottom coil design. They can leak when filling, and they can leak if you don't have that tiny stopper inserted properly.

Regardless, I always remove to fill. I just find it easy, and if it does leak there won't be any issue.
