I liked my new ego starter kit (stoptober offer) from ecigwizard and bought some of these clearos to supplement it; www.health-e-vape.co.uk/ce4v3--ego-16ml-changable-resistance-heads--long-wicks--4030-p.asp . I have to say, they are a better vape than the coloured CE4 supplied with the kit - but there seem to be a couple of issues. If I fill to 1.6ml I get a slight but persistant leak into the pipe which presumably means that the atty head doesn't make a good seal. If you look close at the picture on the link you can see that the bottom of the head is adjacent with the 1.6ml mark. It's not too much of a problem - although the free juice gurgles I don't end up with a mouthful - but there is sometimes a (small) external leak from the bottom when I pick it up. Also, I find the flavour and the throat hit starts to get rough when it's down to about 0.4ml. This wasn't the case with the original non-replacable which I could vape till almost empty. Consequently I only fill to the 1.4 mark and refill when it gets to the 0.4 mark so my 1.6ml clearo only really gives me 1ml capacity. Because I don't trust the seal I have to keep it upright at all times meaning that I'm still using the skycigs when I'm out and about. I'm not up on replaceables and bought these because they looked straightforward to swap out. If anyone knows these clearos, is this a known issue with this type of replaceable or is it likely just to be these ones and I should try a different vendor. Also, are there different (better?) replaceable/rebuildable configurations that I should be looking at? Cheers Ian (Yeah, I admit it's not really Dan - that's my brother. The avatar pic is definitely me though )

The atty head may be coming unscrewed when you unscrew the drip tip to refill..Because of the seal, the driptip "grabs" onto the silicone on the head..
Once you remove the driptip, tighten the atty head before refilling. That may sort your issues. It does not matter how much you fill as you tip to vape and if the atty head is loose you will get a leak..

Good point Macca. I noticed with the viv nova, that when I take the top off to refill, it does unscrew the head a tad. Can be sorted quite easily, but does have the potential to be more difficult for someone with chubby fingers

Thanks for that - I'll give it a try next time I refill. Luckily I haven't got chubby fingers Unfortunately, I am physically incompetent :-[

You don't have to wait for your next refill..You can do it now and see if that is the issue, if it is leaking

Thanks for that guys (especially macca) - seems to have solved the problem. And no, I didn't have to wait but I'm trying to get into a routine of just doing maintenance stuff last thing at night as it pretty much took over all my spare time when I started buying juice.
