Anyone know if it's possible to get an air lock in a cartomiser please? The one I got with my kit (a non rebuild able clearmiser) suddenly refused to let liquid seep down the side for a while this afternoon. After much blowing, shaking etc it seems to be okay again. I've refilled it twice when it got to .6 ml, but is it something I've done wrong?

Clearo - I'm new, so I get confused. It's the one that's like a little tank with a wick as opposed to wadding.

I doubt you've done anything wrong.
Sometimes clearos can be a little weird with the juice getting around the chamber. Air lock/bubble.....maybe?.....if worried, best to unlock the air!

Could be an air block or liquid stuck around the centre tube. Pop the drip tip on as normal and give it a gentle shake to move the liquid around. Then blow through the drip tip to remove any liquid that may have gone down the centre hole. Hopefully that will sort you out.
How much should the clearo take? Some don't take very much at all.

Thanks Zeldamum - the clearo takes 1.8ml but, thinking about it, I possibly overfilled it a bit in my newfangled enthusiasm yesterday and might have moved the wicks or something. Anyway, it seems to have made a full and complete recovery :-)

We all overfill them at times. Glad you are sorted now.
