I use 90% VG with a single hole (Boge LR's) and my AGR's (I have 2 of them) worked right out of the box, with no problems at all.
Sorry to hear about your problems...

I am certain that the batch some of got in a recent coop was machined better than the current ones. I have no more problems with the 4 that I am using everyday for months, than is normal with any carto tank. I really do feel for all those that are getting Crappy builds. Pbusardo just talked about the problems with some of the agr tanks. This sucks.
PBusardo said in his part 2 of the NY vape meet, someone brought him an AGR and the carto hole too big (or maybe he said too small, thinking too big). Could be the few bad ones out there or a bad batch.
Pbusardo meant bigger carto hole. Or smaller/thinner o-ring maybe?
I had same issue, punched a hole in carto, filled tank and vaped for almost a day. Then it just started to leak from vent holes.
Found a fix for that... cheapr clearos come with driptip that screws on clearo. Those got small silicone o-ring on them, so I've put that o-ring on carto and now it seals properly... no more leaking
But yeah, this does not fix flooding carto.
I'm back to dripping anyway

Anyone know how to get the center pin out of the base? Darned thing will not budge but a Carto moves it fine...
Can't be beat by this thing (though you could say it clearly won that battle) & really would like it to work. Not looking forward to the 'walk of shame' to go find it... Haha

Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt a tank just a carrier of juice. There isnt any way that a tank could itself flood your carto if you filled the tank properly and punched the carto correctly......right?
The pressure in this tank design seems to be wonky.
I don't see many people consistently flooding other standard tanks. But it seems to happen often with these locking style (artemis is the other in think?).
Went & grabbed mine. Everything is a okay except the bottom pin still won't sit proper (though it did before). Punched a new carto just need to prime & fill again. I've only got 3 left so fingers crossed.
Also swooped an oring from a clearo drip tip as suggested above to try out.

Hmm. Had to mix up to new batch of unflavored, went with 50/50 instead of my usual heavy vg.
It's working. It flooded a tiny bit and I was able to vaporize the excess by inverting & firing for a few seconds.
I think the o-ring helped. Thanks DiNet for that tip! You may have just saved this thing.
Now to fix this...
Sticks up a few mm too much & leans. Looks good on the silver mini w/pro-cap though.
But no second flood yet or dry hits. Knock on wood...

If anyone is having AGR flooding issues try this.
After setting mine aside for a few days, I just tried this. I put it between the carto & base. Did everything identical as before. It had a minor flood but I was able to vaporize it out by inverting & firing. It's working great again.

Great that it helped you too!
I've got similar issue with pin too. It pushes vamo connector inside and looks more flushed than yours. Downside? I have to fiddle with vamo connector after agr was on it or none of the other devices will make contact...
Tried to fix it with force... I mean I took it, hammer... you see where it's going. Now it moves inside but carto will push it back out! I will try to use press next time

I've heard this complaint a lot, and it honestly put me off about buying one, but then I decided if airflow is an issue, with or without proper grooves, there's nothing a rasp file can't handle! Maybe people just need to enlarge or deepen the pre-made grooves to help the flooding issue associated with bad airflow?
Of course making the thing too airy will end up with dry hits. I guess the best course of action is small steps in grooving until it works right for you.
Loose fill screw sounds like a nightmare that would definitely cause a different type of flooding. Tanks work by maintaining slightly negative pressure. If the pressure neutralizes there's nothing to stop a ton of juice from slowly flowing into a cartomizer as it sits. A simple dental floss wrap or a tiny o-ring replacement on the fill screw could alleviate that issue that some people might not even notice exists.
I don't have one, but I've been considering it. I guess I'll need a file and some tiny o-rings if I get one though.
Wrong. Sorry. The tank works with a sort of vacuum/pressure thing. Has to be balanced just so. The O rings are for more than just preventing juice from leaking! How the air feeds in the carto has a factor in the mix too.
I gave up on my AGR. I'm glad some people have gotten them to work. But I fought to the good fight as long as I could and went back to my regular carto tanks that actually work right without having to mod and fuss. Someone knew about the issues with my AGRs (even the lack of air vents in the one bottom piece) and still wanted them. So they've found a new home and good riddance to 'em!
Mine just had another minor flood & only thing I can figure is the liquid is low, top of the punched holes is exposed. Does that happen?
Took off the base, swabbed it out, inverted & vaporized. That technique is becoming invaluable.
Well its been about 24h, something like 4mL & it's working pretty damned good.
Anybody have an estimate on how long a Boge, constantly saturated & vaping unflavored, will last? I see a lot of people saying 2~ weeks with flavored & I've found on my other delivery systems they can go easily twice as long before needing cleaning vaping unflavored.
I was worried about dumping money into cartos but if I can eek a month out of each I'll be more than happy.

I've had my AGR carto tank for about 2 weeks now and it works great. No leaking at all. I do not use the fill hole. Have gone through several tanks of juice and am very satisified with it.
Day 2, 3rd refill, no flooding.
Highly recommend dinet's o-ring suggestion if any flooding is occuring.

Bottom positive post is 2 pieces threaded, if anyone else was curious.
