I got a handful of T2's more than a year ago and they were very quirky. They'd push the positive post down, they'd leak, the tips would crack, on and on. I haven't used them since. When you get right down to it Daniel, every juice feeding device has their problems. Every single one of them leaks or malfunctions to one extent or the other. Been there, done that, seen it all. There has been one and only one exception and that is my kayfun Lite. It has been perfect from toot one.

I'll plus one this. Every one is different and there are plus and minuses to everything. The only clearomizer I ever liked was the protank. Vivi novas iclears all were crap imo. The absolute best juice delivery system is the kayfun. It is perfect imo. The only other thing I use besides them anymore is a carto and tank every once in a while.

Vivi's are leak machines. Always oozing from somewhere. But they're far from alone. They all leak and ooze. Far more often than not it can be remedied but they go bck and forth constantly. I've had my KFL since September 6 and it has still not leaked a single molecule of juice. Nor have I experienced a dry hit or flooded atty. That said, I'm vaping some CAT out of a CE3 now. Those are leaky SOB's too. :)

I have leaks from the screws for some reason with kfl but it depends on the day. I've changed scrwws and some days I get a smidge of leak and some days I get NONE. Regardless not enough to complain ever. Ever ever ever

Mine are the kfl plus which have the oring on the fill screw. Maybe that is why I have not had any leaking on mine. But even my kfl clones which don't have the orings have not leaked yet.

The orings from the mini screwdriver will fix that. But like said it's really not enough to bother.

Lol why do they drive you nuts bronze, this honestly sucks. I can't seem to find one product out there that no one has an issue with. Well what about evods guys?

Evods are okay. Not bad, but get gurgly when the level gets below the half-full point. The Aspire BDC is a much better vape and less prone to gurgling. Buy them at Kidney Puncher for more aesthetic choices. Get the Ego style one for eGo batteries or the Vivi Nova style for larger vv mods.

I don't own an Aspire, but I have yet to hear a complaint from an owner. I may be done with clearos forever, but if I go back, it will be an Aspire.

I can get any device to leak. Just drive (or ride) over a 10,000 ft pass and come back down the other side and it will have leaked. Guaranteed. Only way to prevent is vape up and back down some to keep the pressure differences correct.

For me the most trouble free are genny's but they never move from the TV room. Next appears to be Reo. Most troublesome are bottom clearo's with low juice level (CE3, T3, BCC) and Vapage Vmod which tends to bust bottles if you squonk too much.

As for my KFL+ and a clone, they will dribble out the air hole if I leave them in a jacket pocket and they stay sideways or sorta upside down. Not much though. It they stay mostly upright then no issues.

I have found myself always bringing a KFL along with a Reo for my to go at work vape of choice. Other options are starting to collect dust or jut sit around at home "steeping" I don't often touch the Reo's at home although the KFL's are used there as well.

Wonder if I'm leaning towards a new favorite?

    I'll second what Xfoo and Eddard say about the Aspire , I have Evods , Protanks , and Aspires , the Aspire wins hands down , better flavor no gurgling . Daniel I sent you a link for the Aspire days ago do you want another ?

    I leak when I go to 10,000 feet. :)

    I went to Telluride, CO a few years back (more than a few). I was OK in town. It was probably 5 - 6,000 feet. Went up a gondola to the top of the mountain where it was 10 - 11,000 feet. My smoker lungs limited me to 10 steps before I thought I was gonna pass out. I told my Nephew to get me the hell off that mountain cuz I couldn't breath just standing still. And there were 14's all around me. That woulda been instant death.

    Pic, try wrapping a small piece of plumber's tape round the fill screw. I found that stopped the leak on my KFL and it's been perfect since! It's a bugger to wrap something that small, but it can be done. :2cool:

    Are y'all actually seeing leakage or is it more of a condensation type thing due to vapor trickling out of the air hole? I've experienced some trickling out of the air hole similar to bappo on some of my juicier setups.. Usually when I travel by train. Very minimal though..almost not worth mentioning in fact!

    No it's definitely not condensation. It's too much to be just that but not enough to really care.
    On another note I finally got my package. Even with the issues, I'd say 7 days from payment to delivery for a hana isn't bad at all :)
