Man, I have one of those on the way. PITA if I have to return it. Have you tried changing the o-ring? Sometimes they put the wrong size in there.
Nothing to do with the o-rings, it is machined wrong and will not close off the juice flow all the way. There are a few reported like this so hopefully yours works fine and the one I have was machined by an idiot who no longer works the CnC machines. :lol:

Did you look inside the chamber for metal shavings that might block the section from screwing down completely?

Thanks but I have been through it completely, the juice channels are machined to high. When the chimney comes up against the stop in the base, there is still .05mm to go for it to seal off the holes. I have been totally through this thing inside and out.

I'm getting a lot of gurgling. What am I doing wrong?
Could be one of many things. Bad oring, too much restriction of air and pulling in too much liquid, condensation, wick problem, etc.

Could also be a defective tank.

Got a pic of your Wick and coil?

The only time I got a lot of gurgling was when I had my coil - a touching coil in that instance - too close to the deck air hole. I've had no problem since I raised the coil a little - and switched to spaced coils.

I use the wire screws as a guide. If I can see a small space between the bottom of the coil and the top of the screws while looking at the coil from the side, it's just right. In other words, the bottom of my coil is just a smidgen higher than the top of the screws.

Hope that helps.

    $20.88 Kayfun V3 Plus 1.5 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 3.2ml / 316 stainless steel + glass / 22.5mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    The good news:

    Nice threads all around
    Fits a pico no problem
    JFC works perfectly
    No leaks
    Vapes excellent (better than the v3 mini. Cooler vape. I personally like that)
    Looks great

    I'm quite enamored with this tank. Excellent vape and decent capacity. I'm running a 1.2ohm 2.5mm 28ga kanthal coil and the wicking/flavor/airflow is really sweet. I did a refill when the tank was half empty and not a single gurgle or drip out of the airholes.

    Thanks man, you made my day....im waiting on mine and was hoping the leaks mentioned earlier were an isolated case or two.

    Have this one, a kf 3 mini and a merlin on the way...so that should keep me busy for quite a while.

    I havent broken a glass tube yet so hopefully i'll be able to make mine last.

    You'll like it for sure. One tip I have with any size v3m clone is if it misbehaves and floods a little when refilling and you've checked all o-rings and such is to do a KFL top fill. Meaning just snug the top cap, turn upside down, and finish tightening. I cured an unruly 19mm mini by doing that. I'll take a small vape before opening the jfc to test and make sure it didn't flood.
