this is what I do with the merlin and griffin (this reminds me I need to order a couple more of the griffins as I only bought one x 22 and one x 25 griffin) tanks. The only tank I have that I have to turn counter clockwise to open the JFC is the griffin which makes me dislike it enough that I washed out last night and put it away today with the other gemini I bought.Trent, I never, ever turn the tank counter clockwise to open the juice holes...once I screw the base back on, and turn the tank section clockwise to close the juice holes, fill, replace top, and then CONTINUE to turn the tank section clockwise only to get the juice holes back open. Never counter clockwise. Works for me.
So it never gets loosened. Never feels like it is going to loosen and fall off.
NOTE: I may have totally misunderstood what you were saying in your post. If so....just ignore everything I just said!!
Do you guys\gals dry burn the notch coils? I think the glass is a little too big on mine which is causing the misalignment. It hasn't effected it but bothers my OCD. I am going to try the replacement glass to see if its better.
Okay,
In this picture I have it like I normally do when I am using it. The juice holes are fully open, but the tank is about 3/4 of a turn counter clock wise unscrewed (from fully tightened). I can either tighten the tank fully or unscrew it some more to close the juice holes. But with this configuration, The tank is always unscrewed almost a full turn to open the juice holes.
Now in this picture I have the tank screwed all the way down, and the juice holes are closed. BUT look how close it comes to the juice holes in the deck. They are less than a half inch away from being open with the tank fully tightened. Why not make it to where it can tighten all the way down and just pass the juice holes. If they did that, Then the tank would be tightened down and you would only have to unscrew the tank a little to open the holes. It would also help the glass make a tighter seal with the o rings when the juice flow holes are fully opened.
IMO I think this may be what is causing some of the flooding/leaking issues. It's a little odd when the tank has to be unscrewed almost a full turn to open the juice holes for normal use. They may have fixed this in the newer versions with the square holes or the GIANT juice holes, but I don't have one of the new tanks to check that on.
Hope this helps explain the issue.

@trentenmarschel you should not have to turn the glass/chamber counter clockwise to open the JFC. keep turning it clock wise to open/close/open, etc it.
You just need to turn the glass clockwise to open again,never turn it counter clockwise once you have it tightened.Okay,

I can't turn it any more. The last picture is with it tightened down fully. I would have to get vise grips and shatter the tank to tighten it to where the holes line up, and that would be counterproductive.
Lol, That's what I'm saying. I am not sure if it has something to do with them being made in china. But I don't know if they're all like that or just some (Including mine). My Merlin has been like that since the day I got it. Not sure if they just kind of randomly poke the holes in, or randomly machine some threads in, or if the guy was just drunk when he was operating the machine to make my tank, but I wasn't sure if this was normal.
Ive tried 3 different glass tanks. I have the new clear one on that they sent me. Ive also had the 2 black ones that I took the tinting off.

Well.... how about replacing three orings?1) where the glass goes in the topcap.
2) where the glass goes into the barrel
3) the small one that connects the chimney and barrel.
Seems like the compression is off.

Next time I rebuild I'll try it with them off and see if that makes a difference.

Yeah I too was confused by what you are describing. I can move my jfc in both directions very easily without it unscrewing anything.
The only time I sometimes turn it counterclockwise is right after I fill. I'll rotate clockwise to close the juice hole turning just a bit beyond closing the hole, refill, and gently turn back to open, as I know the hole is only a small fraction of a turn in that direction. When initially mounting and filling the tank, I turn clockwise only.
Also make sure the deck oring at the bottom of the threads is placed properly. Like not twisted.
