Paul.......... I know, and 'hear' ya loud and clear, and I'm relating, big time. I have a total love-GRR thing going on with the Siren.
Sorry for your frustrations with it.

Eh, maybe it was just my time. For as long as I have been doing this I consider myself lucky I have had pretty good luck with most of my tanks. I was bound to get one I didn't like sooner or later. The last tank I had that I didn't feel was usable was my old Pro Tank. It was always flooding on me and driving me nuts. Never had a problem with any of my aspire drop in coil tanks. Other than I don't like buying coils lol.
I agree with both of you. Been using mine for 9 months and they are solid other than a bit of seepage at the base occasionally.
Yes ian, occasionally. Even with all the list of fixes I have done to mine, I still get the occasional seep, but, that is cured with a quick wipe of a damp cloth around the base.
Some atomizers just don't work well with some people, like dogs, some will bite ya, and some will lick ya. It's a crap shoot. I did have to work on my Siren to get it to perform though, and I'm happy that I did, I use mine each and every day.
I use one as a beater tank for work and after the o-ring fix and a 3 mil coil diameter (wish it was 2.5) Iv'e had zero leaks or seepage for over a month with 8 to 10 mil usage per day at work.
I will probably put the tank aside for a while. Go back and read some of the tips in this thread and then maybe play with it more at a later date. But I don't think it should really take this much tinkering or effort lol.
Some tanks just do, Paul. I guess it's all dependent on how much we want to play around with them.
5-2 will be happy to know this. I'm on Fill #16 now. I've not yet done even a 3mm coil much less a 3 and 1/2 or a 4mm. This one is cottone wicked.
It's been a happy camper thru most every tankful, but does weep/leak a bit right after filling it. I, with paper towel in hand over the air holes, am a bit careful for the first 1/2 tankful. Then, suddenly, it's right as rain, and bone dry again.
Go figure!
Odd little bird, this one.

It does take time with this one. I'm proud of your stick-to-it-ofness Kat. 
I'll send you a cookie, or a Werther's. But I am glad that you 2 are coming to terms, so to speak. It does like to fight back sometimes.

Evidently you are good with animals (even vape animals), that's why it likes you. On the other hand, I now see why Kat has been having so much trouble with hers, look at her avatar, even the chickens are chasing her out of the picture.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see that avi, and wonder who is chasing whom!!!!! (Betts is running backwards, lovie dove.)

I still have 3 that behave okay, with the occasional user-error poor wick placement that causes drainage. These 3 are in weekly rotation. I just love the throat hit. I do have a few V2's on the way, and I'm hoping I can go back to using my everyday rayon for wicking with them since these seem to have better, beefier seals on them than the V1's.
I have bought the Berserker and found it to vape right along side of my Siren V1, the flavor is just about the same with my Menthol/Mint mix, and that's saying a Whole Lot as far as I'm concerned. The Siren V1's flavor is sooo good that it is the standard I compare all other RTA's by.
Fill number 18 1/2 today on Mr. Siren. I attempted the Kayfun top fill method again. It had performed beautifully on the last fill.
This one? Ummm, not so much.
But a wet paper towel later, he's now spouting vapor happily! Yaay.

well, after switching to a 3.5mm coil in my Siren v1 over the past month or so,
i just recently got around to putting some juice through it that does`nt need dry burns as often as my mostly used NET juices,
i don`t want to get ahead of myself but as i type i`m half way through my 3rd straight tank full and no seeping at all.
with the 3mm coil i`ve never got through more than 2 tanks before seepage appeared.
so unless i`ve got lucky it`s looking like me and/or my particular tank was probably just in need of a 3.5mm coil all along.
if it was`nt for 52anddone posting about experimenting with 3.5mm and 4mm coils i would probably still be using a 3mm coil and still finding the v1 Siren a slightly annoying tank.....
thanks for posting 52
why i, or as far as i know anyone else did`nt try with a bigger coil than 3mm before i don`t know.
fingers crossed the 3.5mm coil remains to be the fix.....for me at least anyway.
the only thing now is i feel the need to wring the juice out of my old wick so it does`nt seem like i`m waisting a ml of juice every re-wick.....never done that before

Thanks. I just re-wicked my two 3.0s for the first time in a few months, and they both failed. Not leakage (yet), but flavor (it's happened before). I think I may throw some 3.5's on instead, to avoid having to stuff the extras in there. Sometimes I don't get those 2nd pieces fully soaked, and need to re-do the wicks.
Worth a shot!
