Is there a RBA that doesn't leak?

Or one that's a lot less messy then most? My first is a AC9 & I love it but I feel like I constantly have juice on my hands.

In my experience all my gennies are leak proof as long as I put the fill screw in. I lay all my gennies on their side when I put them down and I carry them in my pocket without any worries. The trick is to make your wick smaller in diameter than the wick hole so you don't choke the wick.....then you can put the fill screw in and not have wicking issues. If your genny fill hole doesn't have a fill screw you have to plug it with a silicon plug.

None of my 3 AGA-T2s nor my ZAP has ever leaked.

Recent higher porosity ceramic wicks allow me keep the fill screw in and lay them on their side all day long without leaking. A .6mm - .8mm space between the wick and the wickhole allow for plenty of air uptake so I don't need to remove the fill screw except for tanking up.

However my Vivi Nova and Kangar 3s did, so I got rid of them.

What he said. I only have two that seep a bit after a good while - a pair of Chobras where the fill hole threads are stripped.

+1 on non-leaking aga-ts. I use a solid rolled wick that takes up all of the wick hole space. No leaking, no leaving the fill screw out, no wicking issues.

6 aga-t2's and 6 satin SS Vulcans, and none of them leak at all. Wicks fit snug but not tight, and I leave about a .75mm straw hole in the middle (fine sewing needle sized). I leave the fill screw in. Worst I get is slight condensation if I don't remember to draw past holding the fire button.

Thanks everyone. I have a AC9 but it didn't come with the fill hole plug.

When you have the fill hole plug filled are you all getting good enough wicking?

I roll my wicks *almost* to the point of completely filling the wick hole & I leave the fill screws in. I'm able to vape at 45° or less angle (unless I'm trying to get the last of a juice out of a tank -- LoL). No gangsta horizontal vaping for me.

All GG's are completely leak proof. Just close the juice feed and your good to go.
