Sorry can't help to much because mine doesn't leak at all... In fact I have never had a leak with whatever build that I throw at it.
Maybe check what Brian said... I had my center pin loose at the beginning but I've tightened it up at the first time I got it.

My problem is juice spitting back ... It is consistently spitting juice back at me with whatever build I throw at it. Tried the pre-made coil and it also spits back like hell... O that darn hot juice.
It helps if I fire it for 3-5 secs without sucking it... But after 5 puffs, hot juices back in my mouth...

As for dry hit, as long as I remain up to 25 watts at 0.5 build, it won't burn the cotton. After 2 days I will have to re wick... Cotton got blackened on the areas that touch the coil, coil got gunked and flavor became a bit mutter compared to fresh wick

I'm having the same issue of juice spitting back and that juice can be a bit hot. I had the same issue even if I rebuild or use the coils that came with it. But the 25 mm one I have zero issues with. So now my tank sits in my stand and I don't use it. That was a waste of money. I only got the mini one as I like the big one but have to use the cone piece as my shark doesn't like the spring loaded pin it came with. and of course they came out with the one that doesn't have the spring loaded pin for the 510 connection.

There is an easy fix though especially ones with wife already...

First step: go to your wife drawer
Second step: find undies with mesh like fabric
Third step: cut a small hole fit to your 510 connection... Like so..

Fourth step: fit it into your 510 drip tip connection... Spit back gone

Fifth step: put back the undies for later use... Make sure it won't easily recognized

It is also advisable to check the brand and choose not the most expensive one cause it will not only spit back on you but it will fire back at you with extra bills of the wife purchasing more expensive undies...

I've had my 3 subtank minis for a few months now, and I've put 100s of mls of juice through each of them. They've all started leaking from the base, and all the bases now have a slightly wobbly afc (I can wiggle it up and down and juice comes out). I did watch a youtube video on taking the base apart and cleaning it, but I think it would be easier to a) purchase new bases from sweet vapes, or b) find another tank that lasts longer!

I won't invest on same tanks from the beginning though... Even if it is really flawless maybe I will have 2 at max.

On my list now after my stm and lemo:
- lemo drop because the lemo 2 is a failure according to many reviewers
- goliath... But I am single coil guy... I can build dual coil with no problem but it was too much of a hassle
- kayfun 4 clone

I had fantastic experience with lemo... It leaks a bit but the bottom base will hold any small leaks and it wasn't a biggie... But I enjoy the method to fill stm a lot without needing any pointy tips from bottles. Lemo and the drop version will need pointy tips but it vaped consistently to me more than the spit back as hell stm (before undies fix method)... Make sure it is a fresh clean washed undies though.

Sorry if my post offend some people

Got me curious. How long did you use your subtank mini or + before you noticed the seals disintegrating? I've had mine for 3-4 months now and it's used daily and lots of chain vaping & so far I've had no issues whatsoever with the seals. Not saying it doesn't happen, I'm just curious is all. Never had any leak issues either. Actually it's been the best RTA I've had so far. Cheers :)

The first signs of seal disintegration / leakage was observed about 3.7 weeks I bought it. I replaced the seals and two weeks latter it was back again leaking. The Juice I commonly use is a home brew 70Vg 30 pg with Capella Creamy Custard @ 3% no extra alcohol added.
