Some weird stuff going on, hoping someone knows the answer;
Tank is empty --> time to refill
I close the AFC, close the JFC
Open the topcap, fill up the tank.
Close the topcap, open the AFC and open the JFC
At the first drag I notice the deck/wick is flooded, heavy spitback and gurgling and can taste the juice I just poured in the tank (how?! I closed the JFC)
Soon after that leaking occurs out of the airflow holes, I'm guessing 1/2ml.
When I take apart the atty, the JFC seems to work as the channels get blocked when I close it off.
Where does this flooding and leaking come from ??
After I cleaned up the mess I can vape away the entire tank free of any leaking ....until I need to refill again

You most likely did not stuff enough cotton into the juice flow holes on the deck. I had a similar issue when I first got it. I thought I had enough cotton in there...I was wrong. And if the deck is not perfectly alligned, it will flood. Also, if there is excess cotton sticking out of the deck, it willl flood...make sure you trim it flush with the base of the deck.
I pretty much made sure wicking is done correctly.
If it was the bad wicking it would leak continuously I guess. This is not the case. I can lay it on its side, upside down and it won't leak. It only happens right after filling. On top of that, I close the JFC, so juice should not come down and enter the the well, right?
Might have found the issue..
When the JFC is closed, i can still vape without dry hits.
So, the JFC has a flaw, eventhough it does look like it closes off the tank section when I take apart the atty
Juice can find its way without showing the usual big air bubbles.. <--> edit : stupid I not see this before in spite of using this tank some days now, but tiny bubbles can be seen coming directly from the area where the JFC doors are closed.
A case of having a faulty device? Don't think I can take this section apart and fix it

I agree with this. Needs more cotton. I never needed to personally but you can try to burp it

You can take a few hits with the JFC closed. Your cotton should have enough juice for 4-5 hits easilyMight have found the issue..

It's a JFC issue... Not wicking! I've written steam crave about this. Waiting for a reply.Might have found the issue..

AFC closed & JFC closed
Fill it
Screw the top cap on until you feel resistance. That's the o-ring sealing.
Turn it upside down to finish screwing the top cap on.
(upside down with only air bubbles at the "top" will only force air out when you finish closing it the last few turns and open the afc/jfc)
Open the afc & jfc to where you want it set while you have it upside down.
Flip it rightside up and vape away without any leaks.

It's like midnight, so I went out of bed and checked it throughly to be sure
It's an issue with the JFC.. It does not close off the tank completely. I use the 10ml and I am currently in the process of testing many many DIY juices on it. I haven't filled up the 10ml tank completely due to this reason, just 2 to 3ml... This way it's hard to see any bubbles floating up
Anyway, I filled up the 10ml fully with some nasty old 80VG juice, sat down and saw one tiny bubble after the other floating up from one side of the JFC door.
Damn
Until this gets resolved, it'll be a 1/2ml leaking party after every refill
30 hits, no dry hit : JFC closed
Lol

Would this matter in any way if the JFC in a closed situation leaks?
The damage is already done the moment I fill up the tank; leaking and flooding inside already occurred.
Problem is it's happening DURING filling while putting juice in. I do the flip, I'm a long time top fill nut, and this has become SOP for me. The thing is when I flip, I get a hand full of juice from the driptip.
This never happened on my Supreme. That's why I've contacted Maggie @ steam crave. Waiting for a reply.
It's bigger on the inside...
Yash, all is nice and snug. Interesting thing is I can see a tiny gap on the AFC while bottom cap is off and in closed position. Seepage...

I know it is lined up in my case..
Just sent out a ticket.
I love this atty,.. until this is fixed I'll just fill up the tank to its max capacity to avoid frequentl refills in the fastest way possible
Maybe yours is missing an Oring or something? It's not normal.I know it is lined up in my case..

I wish it was just an o ring.
There is I think no way to take apart the bottom section ( the well section and juice flow section ). I don't think there is an o ring in there either,.
Tomorrow I'll fill up the tank to its max with just base, see if this makes an even bigger mess. I recon it might as the weight and gravity will do their job. Let's see.
Crap! I was so happy with this flavorbeast
It comes apart and there are notches that need to be lined up for the JFC
Here is the full assembly and disassembly that I did

This is the best Supreme yet! I have a 25&23mm But the 30 is the best! The Air flow is real smooth, the little screens in the air holes are nice to, No spit back out the holes any more.
The postless deck is more hassle to coil but it has lots of room
I never had any leaking problems with any of the supremes, the jfc works excellent.
The only real issue is 30mm don't fit on most mods with out over hang.
Here's my 2
I don't run no big fancy coils just dual 3mm Ti spaced
