Least Leak Prone Rebuildable Tank Set-up

[CokeC77]

I'm looking to get a rebuildable tank, but since I often carry in my pocket I want something that doesn't leak. I just got an ATA-T from a friend, and I am looking forward to building it, but I'm pretty sure that's not the I want to go in the long run. Thanks in advance for your replies!

I have been using the russian 91 without any leaking issues.

my experiences

Aga-t - leaks like a sieve if not kept upright at all times
kayfun lite + clone (similar to the Russian 91) leaks if vacuum is broken slightly
protank 1 with an aerotank base - no leaks at all

my 2 cents

A bottom feeder.

kayfun light plus

Thanks for the advice. I'm leaning towards the Kayfun Lite/Russian 91%. I am a bit leery of the clones.... Any experience hopefully good going that route??

I've got a Russian 91% and a KFL+ clone. I get great performance out of both. The clone sorta whistles when you take a draw, but I can't tell any difference in VP or TH. The Russian does look and feel like a better machined piece however.

Kayfun leaks only if not properly filled... Protank/Evod (head) leaks just a tiny bit. Some micro drops on center pin. Genesis style atomizers can easily leak with ss mesh.

Did you go through a US vendor or did you get it from fasttech? I've seen tons of clone on their site for around $20.

I have a KFL+ and have had next to zero issues with it leaking. I barely keep the thing upright since I always take it on the go with me and unlike the genesis style RBA's, it is never an issue when it is assembled correctly. The only time it has leaked on me is when I accidentally cross threaded the plastic part of the tank and the chimney did not align with the o-ring at the top, definitely try to avoid doing this because I had to break off the plastic part in order to get it apart

KFL/R91 won't leak if built and filled properly. However, the most reliable I've found is a SQuape. Trim the wicks properly, and it goes and goes without nary a stray drip. I also carry in my pocket, and I've had zero problems with it.

My Russian gurgles, but that's probably a build issue...still experiementing.

iClear30s is the one i've used for a while now and no leaks whatsoever
The Scar RDA is really popular in the UK but i can never get hold of them, always out of stock everywhere Looking to get into a full coil + wicking style operation myself, I'll take the wallet punch and grab one from a B&M somewhere

my Svomesto KFL clone used to leak after I filled it, only because the vacuum seal got broken when adding new juice to the tank. if you can find one, get one that fills from the bottom and that should fix the issue. Until then, I just have to disassemble and rebuild every 5-10 tanks. It's quick and easy though; take off the bottom piece, swab clean with a q-tip or paper towel, and reattach. NBD for me.

My HCigar Taifun GT clone NEVER leaks when I use cotton wick. The coil on it is a 9/10 wrap 28ga. Kanthal 1.8mm ID with cotton wick just snug enough to slide through the coil's ID.

My Kayfun 3.1 ES clone is a little trickier in the fact that I always use the "Top Fill" method and then ensure that the top cap's threads just catch the tank's threads, then I flip it upside-down and wait a second for the air bubble to rise and then tighten the cap down. Every once in awhile or so I may get a drop or two leak out the cap's threads but that's about it.
