Ok well that already didn't go good. I cleaned it after the 2nd time it leaked and left it on it's side to ON. I just went to go try vaping 2 mill and then filling it up with it set to OFF. As soon as I set it to OFF, all the liquid leaked right out the airholes and now I just cleaned it again. I think there is a design flaw with this tank and I probably won't be wasting my time with it as now 12 ML has gone onto my jeans.

Sorry to hear that, this is really disappointing, I have not had a single leak, they seem very hit and miss. Not good.
What is the point of adding 2 ml vaping it and then refilling it? Maybe I am missing what that is trying to accomplish.
I believe @Rixsta said it creates a vacuum for the coil to seal properly @silversmok
I am having leaking issues as well. I am still confused by the on/off switch. The two points above would seem to be contradicting - or is the "rotating cover" different from the "cover". And I don't see why I would ever turn it ON if that's the cause of the leakage. Can it always be in the OFF position?
Love the vape, just won't be usable if I cannot fix this leaking issue.
No one from Freemax has responded to my email yet. So if they do I will give them this threads leak oh I mean link hahaha. Been vaping on my Maganus/Starre Gen 1 and Crown on vacation on a nice 22mm ego one style mod for portability. Doing a helluva job. Makes me wonder why I need more sometimes.
Sorry thats my mistake. The switch is in the ON position when your screwing the cover back on because that is the direction it is turning and is the only time it will be in that position. Always have it in the OFF position for everything else.
Yes I'm not very happy either. It is embarrassing to write a review and give it so much praise only to find others are having problems. I'm still yet to have a leak, even after switching juice. I don't understand it.
My out and about vape is my black Ego One Mega battery with a black Subtank Mini, black tinted glass and black O rings. Press the button and vape. Works absolutely great !
And yeah...I was thinking the same..No fuss, no mess, just a great vape, that's all we want hey.
I will contact Freemax personally today and see if I can get hold of Emma.
So is it safe to say that the pro is ill advised? bBen on the Herakles for some time now with glee but was hoping that the pro would be the "end all of end all." It seems as though it is not. Am I wrong in assuming so?
Mine is working flawless and I love it but it's very hard to recommend with others having these leaking issues. My advice would be to hold back for a while until we are more clear of what the actual problem is as there is no doubt, there is one.
I have been using mine now for 2 days and I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I have had no problems with it at all, no leaks, just great vapor and great flavor. I will say that I switched to the kanthal coils. The Ni coils didn't impress me at all, wasn't much better than a Subtank with Ni coils.
Yes that is my thinking but maybe it doesn't work and I'm just one of the lucky ones to have a non leaking tank. Personally, I think all our tanks are the same and the problem is with design, I'm annoyed as it has made me look like a right monkey's a s s..
Exactly the same here, back on the Kathal ones, in fact I'm thinking of buying another mod without temp control for the Starre, It's pointless for me to have an extra heavy, larger mod if I don't use the TC, I never vape the 0.25ohm above 70 watts, so it makes sense really.
I am super happy we have some good news from someone, it is awesome when it works, there is no denying that..
I have been playing with titanium in my Lemo 2 and Stumpy, it's definitely better than nickel, but I still find kanthal more to my liking. Unfortunately for me, I now have 3 SX350J mods. They work great in wattage mode, guess that's how they'll be used for now.
I've had this tank for about an hour and I've gone through about 10ml.
Unfortunately, about 8ml of it was due to leaking. All over the mod, my hands, and my paper towels.
The switch is counter-intuitive. In order to remove the top fill cap you have to twist counter clockwise which sets the switch to on.
When you screw it back on it turns the switch to off. Once the cap is back on if I leave it in the off position you can actually see the bible's coming up indicating it's leaking.
I changed it back to On and the leaking stopped immediately.
I can say the 2ml I've vaped since it speed leaking has been great. Better than the Arctic.

2nd hour. Holy ..... The flavor is WAY better than the Arctic, Subtank, Atlantis v2, & Zephyrus combined.
The top fill is easier and more solid than the Zephyrus and without all the sharp edges or wrestling with the tank to get a cool in.
As long as the leaking is fine for good this thing is a keeper.

Day 2. No leaking and I have filled the tank once.
@LooseWiring - when you screw the cap on, it actually leaves it in the ON position. You have to rotate it counter-clockwise for a bit to turn it to the OFF position (by ON/OFF, I am referring to the wording at the top of the tank). At least that's what I had to do, and no leaking since I have been doing it.
