I think Anna was saying she wasn't mad about the secret being let out.
I'm not sure I was klear. I was talkin' about ME.
I was the one that had a broken o-ring fresh out of the box, it's weird a leak happens on a brand new tank with the first build, when I get my new ones I'm going to try the wetting of the juice fill ports and see if I get a leak on the first build. Here's a shot of that o-ring that had a chunk missing from it.Thanks for the kind words, @bigbob2322 . But it was someone else (raise your hand) actually suspecting that it might seal better with juice on that upper gasket.
Mine, I only had that one leak. First build, and maybe less than 1/8mil, (1/16th tank) had leaked by the next morning. Not completely empty or anything, but a definite leak. My next build, I ignored their instructions to cut the wick short of touching the bottom, and wicked it like the doggy, all the way to the bottom, with a slight tuck underneath the raised part of the deck. Never a single drop since them, on any of my 3, hot cars, airplanes, nothing. I even forgot to close the lid one time after refilling, vaped at my desk for maybe 20-30 minutes before I noticed, and no leaks or gurgles.
Two of mine came from people here that had issues with them - I think one of the 2 said it leaked for them. The other, I think they didn't like the draw. But neither of those ever leaked a drop. And only that first one had a leak at all, in the 9 months or so I've been using them. I think we've all seen that some here, like me, had a mystery leak on the first try (Anna of course- several!
But whuuh??? Who are you, and what have you done with Betty? I didn't even recognize you at first with your makeover! I mean, who is this girl, and where are her spreadsheets? Is there a hidden Boop image in there I couldn't find?

. I don't let it sit long with the fill ports open, but I also don't rush to get it done. I did make a mistake the first time I opened the tank to get at the build by opening the fill port when it was upside down and made a mess, but I only did that once.
Go figure...funny how we all can get different results. Any build I used got me more TH out of the True than I could with SXK or SJMY doggies, which is what made me switch. And TH didn't peak for me until I dropped from 2.5 dia to 2.0, and that was a really big difference. 7 wraps 28g, 0.58 is my sweet spot. I've always heard that raising the coil increases TH, but I can't really tell much, if any difference, so I just make sure it's at least 1mm or so above the port. But my experience is based on all VG, vs. your PG.I got a True a few weeks ago after reading some of this tread and liking the looks of it compared to my Doggies. I vape 100% PG. No leaks in use and none while top filling
I wick it the same as the Doggies ... Muji stuffed tighter in the coil than most people do, almost but not quite as tight as I do with Rayon, with the tails going through the wick openings, cut just shy of the deck. I use 3mm coils with my Doggies and started with the same in the True, so I thin the cotton so it isn't too tight through the wick passages. I'm not missing juice flow control at all.
I also found less TH than with my Doggie builds. I ended up making a hotter build using less 28 gauge SS wire, 0.34 ohms instead of 0.5. I went to 2.4mm from 3mm to give an acceptable number of wraps and I set the coil as high as I can and still avoid shorting. Pretty nice vape, but it gunks faster than the Doggie builds. I have a couple ideas on how to maybe mitigate that a bit, but haven't tried a new build yet. I like to give it at a while with a given build to get a better idea of how it handles over time before I try something else.
I'm happy I bought this tank. I still prefer the Doggies, but this one is interesting and it's got me to experiment more with getting more TH in this style tank which is always a good thing
. Sometimes it's important to define things well too. For example, I consider a coil at 1mm above the port to be close. I set mine at least 3mm above in the Doggies and that makes a noticeable difference. I had to make it slightly closer in the True because there isn't quite as much space in it. I actually had a short in my first build.
how have you got away with that comment for nearly 5 hours?!?
Oh I L'dMAO when I read that, but I refrained from posting. Good thing I don't drink (often)..
