good question, I assumed plus but maybe I am wrong
@Shawn Hoefer can you clarify? crius or crius plus?
The reason I ask is I looked them up and didn't see one that came with two decks.
I have the Crius Plus. Only one Velocity deck, but it's a really nice tank if you want to go dual coil stepping up from a Merlin. But it's much more air flow, with both top and bottom adjustable flow. It's a top side fill.
oh that's right, same type as the billow v3 plus. Not a big fan after using the bv3+ for a few weeks. It does have some advantages I guess over the standard type of top fill but it's sometimes hard for me to open and I made a mess the first time filling it by pushing the tip straight in instead of back at an angle and more juice came out all over the tank and my hands than actually went in the tank.
Did you figure out whats causing it….Im seeing a hint of this too and its bugging me….do you think it helps to re-seat the o-ring at the base of the deck?
I've taken my Merlin apart this morning but I can't find any video or info that depicts taking the base apart. My airflow ring seems quite loose, it may or may not be part of the problem and there is definitely juice behind it from the shine. The atty sits on a atty stand, the top of the stand is wet with juice along with the bottom of the atty base but the 510 area inside the stand is dry so not seeping through the 510 connection.
I did replace the orings with the spares from the box once already and it still seeped. I have a multitude of orings from other attys and spares I bought. I'm going to try other orings hoping I can replace the sketchy thin oring. I did find a kanger subtank mini oring to fit that's not round but flat and beefier than the merlin oring, there is a slight space now between the base and chimney. The juiceflow is a ioda out but the atty went back together good so I'll set a build into her and see what happens with the seeping. The last couple turns I can feel the oring grab so I hope this works or else I might have to live with a seeping atty since I have no other orings that fit good enough, might end up trying teflon tape to raise the stock oring enough so juice won't get past it.

My suggestion is to count the total no. of o-rings on your Merlin, i.e. first make sure there isn't any missing o-rings. Mine counted to 8 (including the 2 on the drip tips)
I put a nice .5ohm clapton into the merlin, actually it was the old clapton that was in it before, I removed the screw airflow control under the coil so I had to remove the coil to do so. Its now been almost a couple hours of constant vaping so the vacuum should be up to spec and no seeping, the base is still dry...thats a good thing. I can see the baby blue kanger oring thru the little space but its still holding the juice. I really won't know for a day or so of the atty sitting on a atty base to find if there is seepage, looking good so far but the fat lady hasn't sang yet.
Thank You Vinny that's the info I was looking for.
If my kanger subtank oring fix doesnt work then I'm going to be forced to take it apart but I'm not happy separating pressfit then repressing, its never the same after that. I had many problems with kanger airflow adapters for protanks coming apart, refitting by hammering between 2 sockets then fall apart time and time again so I'm leary about pressfit anything.

They all seep between the AFC and the base, even my replacement base from STS seeps a little.
This is not an o-ring problem, it's a design problem.
I am loving these friction fit dotMod drip tips from FT!

Nice switch-a-roo on the black and SS parts TrollD!!
Oddly enough I have had just a little seepage on my black Merlin, zero seepage on my later production SS version. Wicked exactly the same.

Thanks!
The Pico just screamed for the Black and Silver combo, all matchy matchy like.
I think it is really a hit or miss on the seepage issue, all depends on how tight the JFC ring is in relation to the base machining.
My late production ss doesn't seep either but I do use 70-80 vg. Haven't had any leak issues since my original build.
