Thnaks guys & girls! Those were my best guesses but I was wondering if there was a 'secret' or indeed, more obvious way that I was missing (which wouldnt be unusual lol!)..

I can usually remove the base while it's upside down, then (with the mouthpiece removed) stand it up side down and place something on top to weigh it down and keep the seal. Putting the base back on without leaking is a but harder though!
Okay, I'm a bit late here, but I will post my comments anyway.
Just topped off tank #3 on the Mini Buddha and it's been a flawless performer. For comparison sake, I used one side of the Orchid/Silverplay/Goblin/Cthulhu build I've been favoring lately: 26 gauge, 3mm, 5/6 wraps, .75 ohm, cotton. The coil is set as low as possible to the extremely build-friendly deck, with short wicks ending at the top of the juice channels. I removed the AFC screws so the airflow is maxed out, and as always I'm mostly lung hitting. Not a single dry hit going on three tanks. For this last refill I topped off completely with no air space, and still no dry hit. That is usually a sign that the juice channels are sized just right.
Because of the unique dual air, there is really no small diameter RTA to compare this to. Subtank Nano probably has comparable air flow, but it's a replaceable and I don't have one. Ehpro has designed a no compromise small tank here, and comparisons go directly to its bigger cousins. In terms of the overall quality of the vape, the RTA that comes closest in my personal experience is Lemo. I consider Lemo to be an excellent full size single coil RTA, so that's saying a lot about the Mini Buddha.
Given equivalent builds, adequate juice flow and similar chamber sizes, differences go to airflow: intake area and chimney area. Here are a few comparisons:
I retired my Kayfuns last Fall, and the Erlkonigins have sat neglected for months. This will be my new single coil standard. (I never owned the Lemo; just borrowed one for a week.) It's much better than I expected and even better than I'd hoped. It's so good that I'm going to build a cigarette pack size mod to wrap around it. With the single coil I will be able to get a fully satisfying vape to last me when I'm out for the day, on a single high amp 18350 and in a small enough form factor to be as stealthy (and sneaky) as I need to be.

It is a fine. Device. I still have my first build in there and I know I screwed up and trapped one of the wick tails in the chimney when screwing down but nonetheless it is still firing and wicking like a champ. Love this little atty!!
It really does! Might have to snag another one. Wish there were spare tubes though,Little, but sure vapes like a biggun.
I have not started to look for replacement glass, but I know I will break the one it came with. As a backup I'm getting a length of food grade polycarbonate tubing. I use this grade in the bigger size for all sorts of custom tanks, and it has proven to stand up to my worst tank cracking juice.

That's certainly an option. I'll have to measure the ID of the Mini Buddha's glass in case it does break or if I feel creative and make one anyway.
i just want to share, mini buddha center post show some rust, initially I thought it is just like a gunk layer,
I cleaned it and a week later it is worst...I even asked other mini buddha owner about it
i use dark juices, chain vape a lot, etc

Ugh I haven't pulled mine since the initial cleaning, but that's not good. I like this little booger so I don't want to see that.

anyone had problems with the orings. The really thin ones that sit in a groove in the top cap and around the base just below the chimney. Mine just get pushed down into the base or up into
the top cap when reassembling, even when a lot of juice around to lubricate...

Yup I have the same problem. Usually takes a few times on and off and a little twisting to keep the o-rings in place. It happens on the lower more than the top ones for me.
Despite the couple of flaws, it's still an awesome little topper with terrific flavor and is in my daily rotation along with Billow V2's, Lemos and Goblins.
ok its not just me. I found a spare in my collection that fit the bottom sort of and it is ok at the moment...I use mine every day. It has become my all day 'beater'. Might get another one but they are hard to come by for some reason...
Sometimes my top one gets kind of smooshed by the glass tube, but its not lost vacuum. I should see if another size fits better. They are kind of loose.
i did this
dual coil ... just to say good bye to this tank and buy a new one minni buddha
what do you think?

Hey Roxy,
thats pretty much what I found. Still seems to work ok. They are very loose as you say
What do you think of your duals? That's how I have my Ubertoot clone built, and I did that with a Tilemahos as well.
