Thanks for this. Ordered the pins last night and my local shop has the tsunami in Stock so it seems I'm only waiting a few more days for bf tsunami goodness ( I hope...)

May be a little too much for some mods but was flush on the dripbox.

Not bad for a Fat Daddy pin. Those bases are sooo thick and usually do not seat into a typical atty.

Very nice. I have a bunch laying around so good to know. Thanks!

I almost grabbed one from the local B&M today even though I canceled my pre-order this weekend. It's pretty nice in person, looks like it would have good flavor with the domed top.

Really liking this Tsunami!! Might have to get another one & the BF pin from FDV!

Just got mine in. They said my pre-order for the black wouldn't be in till May so I gave in and settled for the SS. I can't stand having to remove the top cap to drip with bottom airflow attys so I only got this because I thought the velocity style deck resulting in the big empty space in the middle would allow efficient dripping through the drip tip.

I get 32 drops through the tip with my velocity. So far I can only get 25 with my Tsunami without flooding the deck. I know this can most probably solved with shortening the length of my wicks. I'm pretty sure they are "laying" in the deck a little and not just touching it.

Anyway here's my first build all SS

But I want to ask: anyone have any tips for getting it to wick efficiently with dripping through the drip tip?

Mine wicks fine dripping through the driptip. I usually drip around 15 drops. Love this thing!

How many pulls does 15 drops give you? With 25 drops from a unicorn bottle I get 5-6 pulls... I'm used to dripping 32 drops and getting 10 pulls easy.

 

[Highwayman1224]

I get at least 6....maybe you take longer pulls than me.

Just flood it with juice directly down the middle, that's what I've been doing and its wicking a treat!

I just realized that my Tsunami is leaking from the bottom. Every time I unscrew it from my mod there is a pool of juice sitting there in a ring.

Does anybody else have this problem??

I would get some juice collecting underneath, caused by condensation from the air holes

The Fat Daddy Vapes M2.5 BF pin fits, didn't even have to shorten it. Not sure if Velocity or Hobo pins would work, the Hobo 3.1 uses an M3 pin so it would not fit.

did you use the 11mm or the 11.5?

 

[J_B_86]

I used the M2.5 which according to the FDV page is 11.5mm.

 

[Rex Everything]

for some reason i saw an 11mm 2.5 option the first time i looked......oops

Ah fair enough lol. Had me confused for a moment because I didn't remember there being different options.

My leaking isn't coming from the condensation. I check the airholes and there's little to no condensation build-up in mine. But there definitely is juice coming from in between the top cap and deck section. I can see because I use it with the airflow half-closed and I can see juice seeping out from between the cap and deck.

I don't understand because the o-ring fit is the tightest I've ever had on any RDA and I've never had this type of leaking issue. But yeah, I get a ring shaped pool on every mod I put it on. And it happens after one drip/vape session.

I really want to see if anyone else is having this problem before I contact the vendor and make my case.

maybe there is a small hole or crack on your o-rings....try swapping those out?

I will but I wish I didn't have to...you know? Then I'll be down one set of spare o-rings.

Do you think if there was a crack in one spot it would result in uniform leakage all around the circumference of the top cap?

 

[USMCotaku]

it is possible...the juice could be wicking along the ring

Mine was doing the same thing, I could take it off after a few minutes and see the start off small droplets forming around the mated edges. Took it apart and very closely under magnification looked it over, I could see the o-rings didn't quite look right. I peeled them off and they looked pretty bad, appeared maybe they were twisted up by the factory. Replaced with provided spares, looks much better, and it seems have cured the issue.

Previous to replacement it would pool underneath it overnight.
