I followed it lol
I hope your tank is not faulty and the issue may be related to something as minor as wicking; I do realise this sounds a little presumptuous and thus you have my apology in advance.

If you require wicking assistance, check out these posts:

They helped me during my initial days with my tank. Furthermore, there's a bevy of guides on Youtube which you can check out. I hope it works out for you.

actually, the broken o-ring that was on the ground... was the same o-ring that was suppose to sit on top of the airflow control, i replaced it with the o-ring from the box and it is at worst leaking 5 drops from one side of the airflows

thanks to all for giving me tips lol, i had a strong feeling it was the o-ring after multiple attempts to make it work

Quick question for single coil rta. Bachelor or serpent ? Looking at reviews the bachelor looks like its leaking on alot of people and serpent looks like a pain to coil. I want easy here. Thanks
I'd say most of the leaking issues are due to wicking. For an easy single coil flavor monster I hear rave reviews on Augvape's Merlin and super easy to build and wick.

I have the Serpent and like it quite a bit. The coil process is tricky at FIRST...then it's no problem after you get the correct winding down and how to bent the ends for easier insertion. But it does take a bit more effort than the Bachelor. For a single coil, I use the Merlin. Talk about easy! I have had no issues with my two.

I love the Boreas for a dual coil flavor monster! Have 3 of them.

Hey thanks for that!! Been happy vaping so have not been looking. I like the merlin and the bachelor so one of each are on the way!!! Really been liking dual coil tanks but it might be time to mellow out a bit and go back to single coil for me.

is it me or everytime i refill, my deck gets a pool of juice that needs to be taken care of (blowing into mouthpiece to "shoot" it out and have tissues covering the airholes to catch it) and sometimes when i flip it upside down to get the juice "away from the chamber" and back into the tank i get juice dripping down from the chimney, i used a 2inx2in japanese organic cotton, my supreme only uses 1/3 per coil and it is plenty, for the boreas im using 1/2 per coil, i even tamped down the coils to the juice holes to cover it completely, before anyone say its my refilling, ive closed my air flow all the way till the last 1/2" even experimented with closing only past the third hole and only have the 4th hole half open a little past the third air hole, both leaked, both pooled up in the deck, very annoyed

how i refill:
i flip it upside down, let the juice leak back into the tank
i close the airhole to 1/2 of the fourth
i then proceed to open top cap and fill and close
then i flip it again (sometimes juice starts dripping out from the chimney, not always)
then i opened airhole to desired, then have it sit up right again
i take two quick "hits" without pressing the fire button
i proceed to vape, little to no vapor
now... i almost have to do this everytime, i grab some tissue/paper towel, cover the airholes with it and blow into the mouthpiece and a bunch of juice comes out, after wiping, everything back to normal

should i bother trying the deck with smaller juice holes? seems like the deck with the bigger juice holes is wicking too fast, giving me refilling issues

The deck with larger juice holes are for max vg and/or 80+ watt vaping.

Yes try the deck with smaller juice holes.

After I fill I only open the AFC to one hole and let the chamber fill. I pretty much have zero leaking issues. Also check the o-rings

I gave up trying to use the top fill. I fill it from the bottom. I take off the bottom cap, pop out the deck and refill it through the small slots there. I had some leaking issues using top fill, but my biggest reason to go to bottom filling is because my af/jc ring is so tight I have to fight with it to open or close it and end up having to take it off my mod to turn it anyway. Bottom fill doesn't require closing of the air flow.
