Just as a heads up. I recently purchased a t4 and it had been working pretty flawlessly for the past few days. I took it out this evening and its in the low 30's out. I wasn't outside for more than about 10 minutes when I realized that it was flooding pretty badly. I came inside only to further see that it was leaking really bad. I proceeded to take it apart and check the little rubber gasket on the bottom as I couldn't see where else it could have been leaking from. I filled it with a little bit of water, sealed it all back up, no leaking. I took it outside again and within a couple of minutes the water was leaking from the bottom. I brought it back inside, went through the whole process again and it stopped leaking. The only thing I can gather is that the little rubber seal at the bottom is shrinking because of the cold. I thought I would give anyone thinking of getting one of these a heads up in case they are out in the cold or leave their PV in the car where its cold to watch out for it. No one needs to loose 3mls of liquid in their car. Other than that it has been a pretty cool little clearomizer as I normally use cartos in a tank.

I just got one and noticed same thing I think it depressurization or something and floods through the wicks thus flooding through the air intake. It seems the whole thing is flooded and starts gurgling because the air tube is filling. That's what I'm thinking.

Interesting and makes sense. I'm back to my tanks for now as my every day carry until I can get this worked out, if there is a solution.
