Mine is leaking...

Are you getting a ring of juice under the tank on the mod?
juice seeping from the bottom of the tank between the AFC and base itself?
If so, this is exactly what I'm experiencing also.
At first I thought it was coil height related so I tried moving the coil up, but same issue.
This morning I used more wick and it seemed to have helped.

I just gave my tank a wiggle like you did in the video and sure enough, it has a slight amount of play and wiggle also

I guess it is time to break out the hammer for some love taps to give it a better press fit. I had to do the same for my Pharoah tank and a few other press fit JFC tanks.

Are you planning on contacting the place purchased it from or GeekVape themselves?
Debating if I want to go through the hassle of making a claim or just breaking out the hammer and a piece of wood.

At this point with all the poor press fit tolerances because of JFC, I'm more than ready to give it up for a solid one piece deck.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I never use the juice flow control. Especially now when it is becoming more of a cause than a resolution to leaks.

Please keep us updated. I know GeekVape is really good with warranty replacements and stuff.
But sometimes the hassle is not worth it and it is just easier for me to fix the tank myself. Haha

    Why not try something different with no JFC such as The SMM, Solomon, or The Troll

    I personally prefer single coil so the Solomon and Troll isn't the best choice for me.
    The Serpent SMM is next on my list to be honest.
    Funny thing is I told myself I would stop buying tanks for a while.... that was 3 tanks ago. Haha

    I'm having really good luck with both of mine :) Mine aren't leaking at all :)
    The flavour is pretty good, for the amount of juice consumption :)
    At first I was comparing it to a Pharaoh, But it's a smaller tank that for me, any way is using way less juice:) I'v refilled mine a few times, the JFC holds tight, no chamber flooding or leaking :)
    After a few days, I'm giving the 25 2 thumbs up! I'm quite pleased with the size flavour, juice consumption & the Goon style drip tip :)
    If your looking for a tank thats a lot like the Pharaoh, but wont use 20 mills of juice a day, this is it :)

    BTW for use's having leaking from the JFC & Air holes, this is usually caused by improper wicking. Try rewicking with a little more wick in the Chanel

    I've been getting consistently good results with my stock 2.5mm builds and rayon wick.

    The wick doesn't end on the deck, I run it so the wick is clearly filling the opening at the inlets on the sides.

    For rayon it would normally be over wicking, but I'm not getting any discoloration from back flow.

    Rayon FTW! Mine is wicked with rayon the same way as yours :) I haven't checked the wick yet for discoloration but it's wicking great.
