Check your wicking. The only leak I had turned out to be on me, lol! The crummy white o rings are doing their job (on mine). But on day 5 I lost all my juice through the airhole. Some wicking needs to be in the side juice slots.
Decided I couldn't resist messing with the SqR. Spun up a perfectly nice 24ga 10 wrap coil, double o-ringed the 510 screw, and plopped it on my ohm tester. Ohm tester won't read it because it's not making contact. Put it on my Hana clone. Hit the fire button to heat the coil... 2.4ohm. Uh, no. Hit it again several times. 1.1ohm... 1.9ohm... 1.3ohm... 6.2ohm (lollerskates)
Let the games begin! I should probably wait for my M3x16mm screws to arrive but I'm kind of a glutton for punishment. Wish I had some sandpaper here at work to make sure there isn't ematal on the post screws/510 screw.
edit: I screwed and unscrewed the 510 screw about 10 times. Resistance is holding steady at 1.1ohm now. Time to wick it and fill the tank.

Should have mentioned, mine's also from the first batch. Wonder if all those tubes are undersized? Yet another email to eleven I guess

I skyped Doris!
thank you, roxy.
i first did so, but was getting not very "wet" hits, even using japanese cotton wick, so shortened the wick.. maybe i left the threads too short now.
anyway, i've added a 6(OD)x1mm o-ring to the chimney top thread (it was missing), and lubed the white o-rings, besides of checking the wick.. let's see how it goes now.
when the squape-r works, i'm loving the 3mm air hole. plenty of air, and flavor stays good enough. using the w deck

SqR success... at least for now. Holding rock steady at 1.1ohm. Not gonna lie, I really like the way this thing vapes. Flavor is outstanding and it makes the coolest sound, lol. Now we'll just have to see if the resistance stays consistent. I didn't fill it all the way up in case it started leaking. If it remains leak-free I'll top it off and roll with it.
Coiled, wicked with rayon, and primed on the W deck:

Yeah, the wicking is a little tricky on the SqR. Too much in the side slots gives you burnt hits. Not enough and it leaks like a hose.
It does make an awesome sound and I think its a great looking atty. Which is why I've kept trying to work through its issues. If we can solve the 510 pin problem I will be happy enough with it.

Well, I must have jinxed myself. It is freaking out now. After running for about 30 minutes at 1.1ohm consistently, I was mid-vape and got a foul dry hit. Resistance had jumped to 3.4. Hit the fire button several times and got wildly varying resistance. I played with the 510 some more but now when I fire the stupid thing it "reboots" my Hana clone or I get a check atomizer message. It must be shorting out. I'm done with it until my screws show up in the mail.
it's exactly like you say.
i was used to the tricky built in squape v1. but the w deck in squape-r (together with the ... wick) allows some cotton into the side juice channels. replaced the wick this way (thanks, roxy), added the o-ring to the chimney top thread, replaced the o-rings with the stock spares (i don't have 21x1 o-rings spares), and hope there won't be leaks anymore.
the sound is great, yea.
check your coil position. maybe it's too high.
i try to get coil lower than you, inswva (inside the channel, near to the air hole); it wicks better (i was getting dry hits when trying a higher position), and air draw is enough by using the widest hole setting. using far less wick as well. maybe your coil is so high that it's touching the chamber?

Hana clone? Did you try tightening the ground wire inside the box? I've heard this causes the issues you're having.
I can try that, thanks Haku. It didn't dry hit until the resistance jumped way up. Also, the chimney isn't conductive so even if the coil was touching, it should cause a problem. I'll lower it anway and give it a shot. I may have to build a smaller 28ga or 26ga coil. I don't think the current one will sit in the air hole.
I'll check, thanks. However, none of my other attys have caused the Hana to freak out. Definitely worth checking though.
I mashed the coil down all the way down to the deck and re-tightened the post screws. I also checked my Hana ground and it is solid. Still no love after doing either of those.
However, I was able to get it running again by fiddling with the 510 some more. It has to be at *exactly* the right depth or a) it won't fire b) resistance freaks out. I'm reasonably sure the problem at this point is the length of the pin. Too far into the 510 connector and it won't make contact with the mod. Too far out and it's not got a good enough connection to the threaded base. It's working again now though so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Check the (neg?) post that screws onto the floor of the base - not the one that screws onto the coated plate, but the one that goes through the hole all the way down. I took mine completely apart last night, and the threads of that post felt really gunky. Dunno if it's Loctite, but the post came right off with the overtightened screw. But if that post isn't making full contact with the metal floor, then it's not grounding properly, right?
ideal (for me) coil diameter for the squape should be one that allows you to have at least half of the coil inside the channel. so the wick will also fit into the channel as well (wicking better this way). i use 2.8mm drill / 12g needle with the w deck, 28g kanthal (6 wraps, 1.35ohms), but using that diameter drill, i guess 26g would also fit.
yea, the deck and the chamber/chimney are supposed to be non conductive. but i prefer the coil doesn't touch any of them, because i don't know how the non conductive coat reacts to such a high temperature.
i was getting jumping resistance values, even shorts, with squape v1. added 2 o-rings to the 510 screw, and even added washers below the post screws (the coil thread stays between the screw and the washer). this way the resistance values stopped jumping, but dunno exactly why.

if you try another mod, you'll distinguish if the resistance jump is due to the mod or due to the squapeHowever, I was able to get it running again by fiddling with the 510 some more.

Yep, my SqR does it on every mod.
Inswva, put your coil in upside down so the leads are on the top.
It won't fire on my IPV2, it has a fixed 510 which is too deep to contact the SqR pin. If I back the SqR pin out far enough to make contact on the IPV2, it'll jump resistance. My mech has an adjustable 510 but I'm not going there, lol. Those, along with my Hana clone, are my only mods.
It's cruising right along now though. I'm getting ready to fill the tank all the way up and just hope I don't knock it out of whack, lol. At least I know I can get it running and when it does, I really like it.
