Is there such a thing?

For a while I've been using an Aga-S (and an Aga-T) but the Aga-T seems to lack flavour for some reason.
But both of these tanks are incredibly leaky.

Is there anything out there that's rebuildable that doesn't leak?

I have been using a typical genesis type wick - ie straight steel mesh tube - not a solid wick - but kind of tube like - and it just doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to leaks.

Anything I should be looking at - I'm a little bit out of the loop...

Well, if you are using a genny to start with you might want to consider the RSST. I've never had mine leak. My first genny was an AGA-T2 and while I didn't have leaking problems with it the flavor left much to be desired and it was a cantankerous device. Hated the dinky little thumbscrews on the center post!

The RSST is far easier to set up, and the tank has never leaked on me. It has many nice features, like an insulated wick hole, adjustable center post, and a spring-loaded capture for the positive lead of your coil. I've been using mine for almost a year now and I love it. Mine is the original RSST, not the new pyrex one, but I want that one next. I was quite surprised at the improvement in flavor over the AGA-T2, and vapor production was better as well.

PS: nice to see someone using mesh wicks :)

I use the RSST but have it set up with silica in the tank to the build deck, I lay rayon ontop of the silica and then have a horizontal coil laying in the rayon. the wick feeds the rayon and keeps it "dripper wet", since the rayon stays wet, it "seals" the wick hole to a degree making it leak resistant. I lay my mod on its side when not in use and have yet to see any spots/drips form... the only time it leaked was when I forgot to put the fill hole plug back into place :)
works like a charm and produces pretty decent vape...

Sounds quite interesting - a bit of a departure from the old geni style by the sounds of things.

Does this technique have a name, so I might see if there's any tutorials on Youtube?

I have the veritas and it has amazing flavor and no leaks unless you drip over 15 drops

Kayfun, taifun, Aqua none of these leak all are bottom fed. The Aqua is similar to the kayfun but it is a dual coil set up with FOUR deep juice wells and highly adjustable air flow. The Aqua gives excellent flavor as well as vapor. You can't loose with any of these tanks. All builds are fairly easy, aqua being slightly more difficult as it's a dual coil, however the deck gives plenty of room to easily build it. I've never flooded with any of these tanks. I wick with cotton with all these tanks and flavor wise, theu are ALL wonderful. None of these will disapoint. Aqua is the only dual coil out of the three. It runs wonderfully. I build the Aqua at about a .6 ohm and it really rocks. I was completely suprised on how great the flavor is from the aqua. It's right up there with the taifun and kayfun flavor wise. The original is around 175.00, but you can get the Aqua clones for around 30 dollars sometimes less. The clone is what I have and I couldn't be happier with it. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
