Buck- I too have a bit of a prob with the air vent on the normal 901's slightly leaking- i dont yet know if it's a problem with just this atomiser ??? I have up to now only used TW brand and I always wrap them in paper towel when out as I have found that they do leak a bit am still experimenting with the Eastmall LR 901! I just try to make sure that whenever I put my SD down for a bit to always have the atomiser air-vent hole facing upwards! Also am playing about with how much to top up the filling with- have seen a tutorial saying to leave a pool of e-juice to the filling but have been only topping up until just about level and feel that this is helping. xx

The last TW mega carto I used was useless (they were another bum buy, hardly anything in them), when I refilled it the juice went right thru the darn thing. scylla

The only time I've had problems with leaking with an atomiser is when I know I've been a bit heavy handed with juice . . . although it does happen if you're not careful on the Mega atty/cart quite frequently.
That's interesting what you say about the Cisco, as I'd thought they were the dogs doodah's in atty terms.

I've had no leakage from my TW Mega atomizers but the Mega Cartomizers burn at the junction between the atomizer and the cartridge part, they develop a small hole on either side (you can see a line appearing). To prevent leakage from them I put a turn of black insulating tape around and have no more issues.
The Megas produce quite a bit of heat so there might be a problem with condensation - I do have to wipe my carts frequently.

It could be condensation that I mop up then Foxy, although I can live with it as they do give a great vape for me.

Thanks for the comments, I do really want to experience a decent 901, as I've had nothing but duds up to now, so good to know the Eastmall ones are doing well, I'll try those for sure.
The only 901s I've tried previously were TW normal 901's - leaky and just terrible to use, no vapour at all. And this Cisco lr901, it runs far too hot, eats the juice, so you gotta keep topping up regular...which leads to excess leakage, which leads to doing me head in lol.

Lol Scylla! Although I'm also glad of the warning as I've had a yen to try these Cisco atomisers, which has now evaporated!

Agree about the cisco, using it now and it leaking

I took my tornado out last week round the bars, with the Cisco 901 on. What a complete fart on it was. Juice in the mouth, leaking constantly, I thought those days were over In the end, I gave up and chucked a filled carto on, much less aggro. It's working better now, but still running much too hot, can barely get a 3 second drag then it burns. Yet everyone on other forums rave about them

Lisa said the same as you with the leakage Buck, so you're not alone . . . wonder if there's the 'fan boy' element in the rave reviews.
