Hi, i'm using a 510 atty, when i put a couple of drips in it just comes out the two holes. ive had others that hold the liquid well. is there anything i can do to stop it from leaking and wasting juice?

Are you dripping directly in the atty or topping off carts? If juice is coming out of the 2 air holes in the cart, it's either full or maybe blocked.

i'm direct dripping, it seems as soon as i press vape button it sucks it down the way, it's even doing it when the atty is dry, i need to find a solution as it's really wasting juice.

i would try it against a different atomizer. they shouldnt both do it
they all drip out the sides... especially if you overfill it.
if your using 4 drops use 3. if your using 3 drops try 2

this is the 2nd atty it's doing it with in a row, i'm using 2 drips, ive been vaping ages and this is the first time it's been this bad leaking. i've tries emptying then filling but just comes out the other end. ive just ordered 801 attys to try my luck with them but i'd really like to know why it's doing this, maybe a bad batch of atty's??

It sounds like the internal wick isn't doing what it is supposed to be doing.
Were the attys in question part of a MP (Multi-Pack)?

I think the purpose of the holes are to allow for some air intake else the draw will be very hard. |

Excuse my ignorance, but where exactly are you dripping this juice? Sounds to me like you are dripping into the cart

I'm wondering after reading this thread if your mixing your own liquid ..... or adding alcohol to premixed eliquid? It's easy to get carried away and put to much water in when cutting VG.
It sounds like your eliquid is to loose. If you have some straight VG around it may help to thicken it back up some.
If the liquid is to loose it will pass thru the atomizer too freely and create this problem your having.
Hope that helps hang in there kayjay75
