Hi everyone, just a quick message to say I think I may have solved my leaking issue!
I don't want to speak too soon but I've gone from taking the atty off and mopping up 3+ times a day to 24hrs without a drop.
What's the complicated technique used to solve the leaking?
Smack it with a crowbar a few times!
Now I'm usually very careful and methodical, choosing brain over brawn but I was pretty fed up, I've got 4 of these things and they all leak. I removed the 510 screw and insulator from the bare deck, I've got a metal tank section from an old KF2, I slid that over the pins on the deck and gave it 10 or so solid whacks, increasing in intensity.
The 510 section was on some soft wood and I was hitting the old KF part so no damage was done to the deck of the Merlin and it hasn't leaked since. It may need 'repairing' again in future but it's done the job.
Hopefully it helps some of you to get some more life out of this flavoursome tank

I replaced all my o-rings with new bn70 ones and added an extra one under the deck….worked well.
Had to give it a few whacks to get it tight…doesn't seep now.

What are the "bn70 ones"? I'm uneducated on replacement o rings and would like to know (I did get a pack of replacement o rings for that little one under the cap that always flops off somewhere never to be found again).
I got a pack of those too after you mentioned it. I did lose one top o ring when I first got the merlin but haven't lost one since.
I think it was ~$2 for a pack of 50. Of course once they arrived, I never lost that o ring again. Put money on if I throw that pack out as useless, that top ring will disappear the next day.
I like this place. You can get kits of multiple sizes or 25 of individual sizes.

Still using 2 Merlins as my ADV, but I have realized the liquid that accumulates under them is probably more then just condensation. One being worse then the other. To be fair, they've never leaked to the point where I'd know there was any liquid under them unless I remove the atomizer from the mod, and I usually just wipe it up with a paper towel, but it's still a minor irritant.
I will give this a try next time I take them apart.
My first one didn't leak at first but over time I started getting liquid under it like you talk about. One day I decided to take it apart and did. All the o rings seemed ok so I put it back together. It still leaked some so I took it apart again to try to figure out why. When I put it back together the second time I stripped the copper center screw. So I got out a second one and have had no leaking issues so far.
