Just found your thread. I have felt the same way about the kayfun seeping. I actually put it away for almost 6 months vaping on vape pen just not to deal with it. I purchased the Siren and should be here shortly. But in the mean time I replaced all the o-rings on the Kayfun. Especially the bottom one that unscrews with a socket. Ever since then no leakage yet. But hopefully the Siren will be better or equivalent.

Have you tried or looked into the darvw? Not quite as simple as the doggy as it has 2 extra parts, but it's a very fine tank. Same bottom fill however, which is simple and you get the options of airflow somewhat like the skyline...I got one clone from a member here that didn't really care for it and totally fell in love with it. I since have purchased 2 authentics and are now one of my favs....

I replaced countless o-rings on my Kayfun 5s, especially the JFC. Eventually, they all seep from the air intake.

Regarding the Siren V2, Please note: It's very common for the pre-installed o-rings to be fused to the glass tank. If you remove them it's nearly impossible to get all the rubber off the glass. If you use the pre-installed rings (after removing them) you will get seepage. Toss the originally installed rings and use the red or green spares.

Interesting thread. I've been using my KF5's for over a year. I have 3-5 in daily rotation and only 1 seeps even after replacing o-rings and different builds. Since I've been using them for over a year, I was looking for something new because who doesn't like shiny new things? I ordered a couple of new mods (XPV 75c and SL class) and wouldn't mind trying a new RTA. I have a ton of RTAs and RDAs but they're all in a box somewhere because I keep going back to the KF5s.

After reading this thread and watching a few videos, I ordered 2 Siren v2s. They should be here this week.

Hey guys!
I'm so excited about this I just had to post it and let you guys know!
My Freedom Smokes has the Geekvape Zeus Dual RTA on sale right now for only $18!
Zeus Dual RTA by Geekvape

I used promo code "NEWMFS15" for 15% off, & with First Class Shipping my total was only $18.64!!

I just completed my order right before I hopped on here, & I saw this thread & figured it's as good a place as any to post this. I think this is particularly awesome because this is the exact RTA I was looking to buy next, and I found this deal right when I started looking online. I wanted this one in particular because I had heard it doesn't leak and has decent flavor.

So, if you're looking for an RTA for cheap, go for it! :)

Perhaps the Vapefly Galaxies RDTA is worth a look:


Yeah, I gotta say that the Vapefly Galaxies on a squonker has so far been a no leak, no seep affair for me. The only downside is that it seems to eat more eliquid than my other tanks and RDAs. That could be just my perception, though.

Oh yeah. I didn’t care for either of the supplied drip tips, so I’m using one of these:
