My ecig keeps leaking from the atomiser to where it screws in to the battery. I only bought a new atomiser on wednesday because it was doing the same.
Am i doing something wrong ?

Either way it's probably just slightly over filled. Gently blow through the mouthpiece onto some tissue paper.
it looks like this one http://www.google.co.uk/search?um=1&biw=896&bih=237&hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=e+GO+cig&oq=e+GO+cig&gs_l=img.3...6679.9862.0.10127.6.5.1.0.0.1.409.1188.2-3j0j1.4.0....0...1c.1.19.img.-pEPbigMgzo#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=yhfFPcI3iBhEBM%3A%3B27reYJhMy65XOM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn102.iofferphoto.com%252Fimg3%252Fitem%252F512%252F913%252F030%252Ffree-shipping-e-cig-ego-ce4-kit-e-cigarette-20pcs-lot-9d5d.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fgp.ioffer.com%252Fi%252Ffree-shipping-e-cig-ego-ce4-kit-e-cigarette-20pcs-lot-512913030%3B580%3B550
Ive tried blowing thru it to clean it out, but its leaking again a few mins later
Is it one with replaceable heads - if so, is the head screwed on properly
Are you sure you haven't lost any of the seal parts
Be careful when filling, don't get any in the air hole (but blowing would normally sort anyway)
U suppose you could have very thin juice as well. Maybe. :-)
If its an Ego batt with a button Im 99% sure you're ok and it's a sealed battery. It is a pita when they start leaking and gurgling though.
or
if it is a rebuildable cart, the 'glassy' bit is fixed to smooth metal and the ridged piece is the detachable part. if you unscew holding the 'glassy' bit, it will come lose and leak.
ive done both.
or
you could call the supplier and ask. it shouldnt leak immediately and it may be a duff batch.
I'm on a tornado tank system. It works brilliantly.......BUT......as soon as it gets past 21/22 degrees when I am at home, it starts gurgling and leaks. I clean it out, blow it out, change attys etc. and it's fine for ten mins or so then the gurgling starts again.
On the hottest day of the year I took a journey in an air conditioned car and vaped for 40 minutes. No leak. Step out....leak.
I've read conflicting advice on the net.
At the moment I'm just putting a few drops in at a time then vaping immediately as I've lost so much juice this week.
All the parts are new. Good quality juice. Clean parts. It just seems to be the temperature. It makes the juice even more viscous. Does anyone else find this?
I wish it was that chocdoc. I've smoked the Tornado for two years now. It's brilliant in "normal" weather. It just does it in the summer heat.
I'm not making this next bit up.....as i was typing this out it was in my hand and I looked down and it's leaked all over me again :mad:
Quick edit: apparently you can rinse the atty out with hot water :eek: so I've tried that. So far so good.
I had a day out in London and took it with me and the whole lot of it leaked out in my bag :eek: Then it was ok for a while but started leaking again. When I took the battery off, it had leaked into that and looked a right mess, so I threw it away and just kept the second one, which is no problem.
Maybe just a dud.
oh so it could actually be my battery bit then?
somehow the liquid is getting into the middle tube... try not to screw the mouth piece on too tight, as I've heard this can cause it .
You can get replacement batteries so you could try that
On a side note, do you not noticed with those types of clearos you sometimes get a gobful of juice, i've had several different types (innokin iclear16, vision ego v3 rebuild) up until now and each one suffered the same problem... i know this is going to seem like a proper adverty thing to say, but i've just bought a Kanger 3ts clearomiser and the difference is night and day, no leaking at all, the vapour is awesomely thick and flavourful and no gobfuls of juice, it was only £5 aswell... result
