Odd, that and the TFV4 are the two tanks I DON'T have leaking issues with. My guess is there is a wicking issue with the Mutank.
But after that, I filled it again and it stopped for the most part.
@suprtrkr came up with this method which is genius imo
Scroll down halfway on page 214.
Lol, thank you but not alone and not without a lot of spilled juice@suprtrkr came up with this method which is genius imo

Yup, not enough wick. I usually leave the tails long and cut them off after putting the barrel on, then stuffing them back into the ports. Wetting them with juice before first fill helps avoid bypass flooding. I also lay a separate strip on the deck between the air towers and the center post-- about 1/4 of a rayon rope in each channel-- and bring the coil wicks out on top of the deck strips. I use 3 or 3.5mm mandrels for my coils, and pull half a rayon rope into each, thinning the tails to half the volume. It's also useful to put the lower tank seal on the base before wicking. If you leave it in the bottom of the glass, pushing it by the wick ports can displace them, leaving a hole for a flood. Photos page 214, linked above.I gave that writeup a look. I will absolutely be giving that a shot in the next few days! Right now I'm in the "just walk away from it" phase, heh.
Here are some photos I took of the last failed build. I think I'm just not getting enough wick in the channels, AND I get some "wick overhang" where the wick is leaking onto/INTO the air hole. Bleh. I was hoping this thing would be as easy and forgiving as the Aqua V2 clones I've got. I have a feeling that WHEN I get the Mutank sorted, it will be a great device!
(you'll have to excuse the sickly green tint, my white balance was set up for something else entirely)

I'll be around later, no prob. Once you figure out how-- this takes some doing, I think I built my MTs 6 or 8 times before I got there-- I believe you'll find it worth the trouble
Hopefully you can shorten that up some by not repeating my mistakes.
I'm currently running dual fused claptons 26/36 n80/SS304 in my Griffin coming in at 0.16 and don't have a single problem.
if the resistance suddenly doubles, I think broken leg on one of the coils. If only one is firing, it should be double resistance.
