Got two today. Tried filling with the bottle and tip that I got with it but couldn't really fill it at a good angle. Got some serious leaking. Seemed to go through an entire tank in under an hour! Need try filling with a syringe and holding it upside down per Steeljan. I'm also getting a slight plastic taste, which makes me cough, trying to vape through it. (I think I'm a little sensitive to plastic/silicon.) Reminds me of the CE4 which I didn't like either. So far, preferring the Stardust. To each their own!

I've been using these (Cb/C8/518) for some time now and they really have great flavour (when they work good :/ ) but they're a bit inconsistent depending on the liquid you're using.
The mod that LordDavon mention is a good workaround for them. I'm using 2, one mod'ed and one stock, for the different types/thickness of juice lol.
For those who want to see the "inside", here it is (it's in Portuguese but you can get the point :) ):



I've used the tube cutter to force the plastic tube and metal tube to open a bit so it would be easy to pull it. The coil wire is directly welled on the thread and central pin. After opening them, i don't use the (bottom) metal ring/tube anymore and hadn't any prob with it (makes it easy to open it later on :) ). As for the coil chamber, i don't recommend to open it. Later on it starts leaking very often (the metal will start to bend and leave gaps for the liquid to get out :/ )

Strange thing happened. On the first tank, I had about 1/4 juice left and it leaked out. It was good until then. No leaking at all. I'm on my second fill and no leaks so far. Not sure what happened. It leaked right out the bottom post. Will see if the second fill does the same thing. Has anyone else had this happen?

I can cut and thin the wicks just like the Vornado, and it works like magic. I can run PG at 4.2V nicely, and it hits harder than almost anything out there. VG is running at 3.7-3.9V, and I am not getting any dry hits at all. I am really enjoying these.

NOTE: I have killed 3. Only brought one back from the dead so far.

One of mine is dead, after 2 days :(

Yes. The secret is you have to fill it upside down with a syringe.
