Mine looks about the same.
Your wick seems to sticking out of the channels more than mine was, so maybe that wasn't the problem for me.
Yeah, but I use chubby gorilla bottles. Fairly narrow tip.
I use chubby gorilla's also.
I just rewicked it, and I am going to bottom fill it. See how that goes.

Current build. The same as before but trimmed the wick so it won't stick out as far from the groove. Haven't filled it yet to try yet, but shortly.
Looks good, check your bottom o-rings, reseat or replace them, and tighten firmly. Hope it works
Just received mine today and I have crunched Teflon and a broken o-ring also, I don't even know if I want to mess with it.
It does look like you have less wick in the channels than me, and still shorter. You can see mine go below the bottom of the platform, all the way to the bottom of the deck. Not sure if that'd cause a leak - probably not. But your overall height is about same as mine, and you have a 2.5 ID coil vs. my 2.0. Could the bottom be too close, or even touching the air hole?
I do notice though - it looks like you used the screw on the left, and the clamp mechanism on the right? Right side is kind of raised. Again, wouldn't cause a leak, but it jumped out at me.
Took another look at your pic, OPL. Looks like you do have an oring issue. It' either not seated right, or damaged. See red arrows. Looking at @bigbob2322 's, apparently some of them have oring issues. Now THAT will make it leak!
Sucks to have that happen out of the box. Guess I was lucky.
Guess you were kind of lucky - at least you saw the damage before struggling through a couple of builds & fills leaking. I guess they at least include that oring as an extra?
This oring thing is really disappointing. I haven't had any issues, and love my tank. But you would think after all the work that goes into designing, prototyping, refining, making, marketing, shipping etc. - the last thing you'd want is the whole thing to fail for a crappy oring that probably costs them less than a penny per dozen.
Why don't these companies buy top quality o-rings and ensure they're properly seated? This is really a great tank, and most people aren't going to go thru troubleshooting and replacing o-rings. The tank will just disappear and be known as a leaker for most people if this is common.

Yep, well said. I really want to like the tank because it is a pretty solid looking one. the o-rings on mine were not broken but just didn't look right in the base which is why I took them out and decided to replace, haven't had a leak since, but they really need to have better quality control at their factory.
yep sorry to hear that, but I would just replace the o-rings and give it a go. It really is a nice tank once you get over the poor quality it comes in.
Ok, it's working, so far. I top filled it, closed the air while doing it. When I closed the fill port, I re-opened the air and it gurgled slightly for 3 hits, then was fine.
I used the clamp on both.

It's working good so far this time. I closed the air, opened the fill, then when filled I closed the fill, and opened the air. Just a slight gurgle on the first three hits, then was ok.
I really like the clamp method for holding the coil ends. I'll use it for awhile to see how it goes. Not sure it's worth it over the dogs tho. These won't be replacing the dogs, I know that. But I do like a little variety.

Well I put a new o-ring on and installed the provided coil which ohmed out at 0.97 wicked with Rayon and filled with a syringe , don't even think about using dropper bottles. No leaks at all bone dry with tails barely touching the bottom. Flavor is very good maybe a bit better than my beloved dogs. I like the draw better on the True than the Dog and I'm surprised I like the drip tip as I thought it would be replaced after trying. Time will tell with this tank but even with the bad start I had with it I really like it after about 50 drags through it.
Terrific, guess it also helps to read through this thread first. I ordered some pin bottles to fill it but yeah.. I'm really liking the tank now as well. I'm vaping at 2nd smallest hole. What air flow hole are you vaping at?
