I cannot believe I finally found an RTA that doesn't leak or flood - and it was a very unexpected candidate!

don't think so, I suspect user error, the engineering and design of this is such that if you assemble it correctly and don't screw up the seals, it is pretty much leak-proof - never seen engineering at this level on a Chinese rta, and quite possibly not on ANY rta.

You mean two o rings? Pretty ingenious engineering . Then again, that is all depending those o rings are not blemished in any way and won't allow liquid to seep through. Because I've heard of several cases of peoples Subtanks leaking from the top red o ring. Which has even prompted Kanger to CHANGE the o ring in the new Subtank Mini, and make them thicker. Which means obviously enough people experienced leaking to get Kanger to change the type of o ring they use.

I don't know what kind of RTAs you've been using, or how you've been building them. But of all the RTAs I own, the only way to get them to leak is from build errors. If your tank is leaking from the airhole, thats flooding caused by too little cotton in your deck. If you get leaking from any of the seams/threads, then thats a faulty o ring. But either way, all RTAs including the Subtank operate on the same principle, a bunch of o rings are used to seal off any seams or connecting points. There is nothing novel about how the Subtank was engineered, as far as sealing the entire unit is concerned. Its an awesome tank, don't get me wrong, but I'm just saying RTAs have been operating on this principle for a long time now.

ALL Atomizer will leak.. We are vaping out of what is basically a bottle with hole at both the top and bottom. Under the right conditions they will be 100% leak free, and flow like a hose, and be working 100% correctly, all with the exact same setup..

What's your secret? if in up position I get no leaking, but can't completely prevent from going sideways/flat in my jacket pocket. At that point it will leak.

I wick with Japanese cotton, and typically build between 2.5 and 3mm diameter coils so there's plenty of cotton to work with. I cut the wicks at the top of the chimney then tuck them down and fan them out against the deck. As long as you have all your o-rings and the fill screw in, if youre getting leaking its probably due to out of place wicks.

I have 3 taifun gt 2's .. none of them have leaked more then a 1/2 of drop a day and that is only around the afc holes..no big deal...I also have a subtank and a mini subtank and neither of those leak at all .. other then a little drop under the drip tip when I chain vape .. I guess Im just lucky

My Orchids with KGD never leak. Every night it lays on its side on my nightstand, and it stays bone-dry the next morning.

Okay, it leaked once two weeks ago, driving from the bay area to Tahoe (sea level to 7000 ft). That's guaranteed to make any tank leak.

My sub tank has not leaked yet, which is a nice change of pace after using a nautilus tank. Love the nautilus except for having to take it apart to clean out the juice that leaked down through the coil all the time. It's more likely condensation rather than leaking, but whatever it is, my sub tank doesn't do it.
