This does have that problem, Waddle. When you initially fill it, it leaks from the window. But, somehow, that leaking is only temporary. Created a vacuum, somehow?

But I'm not sure if it stopped leaking because I put more wick in the channels or if it likes 100% VG better than a 50/50 blend..
What do you do with your Squape R when you're not vaping it? Do I have to keep the tank in a horizontal position in order to keep all the juice from leaking out?
Well if its leaking from the tank then its not forming a vacuum. All your juice will flow out the path of least resistance. Fix your tank and your leaking will disappear.
Ugh, did they not put the o rings in the tank again?? There are two o rings in the metal tank that hold the glass. One above, and one below the windows. They sit in grooves. You may need to pull the glass out and check ( They are a pita to get in.

Do a vacuum check. Turn the afc so no airholes are open and suck hard on the drip tip. Any air coming through or is there vacuum?
Coil height will really only affect flavor and throat hit. Ignore my coil's height because its been in there like 9 months and I had to move it around constantly because of it shorting on the deck. That's why its mangled, too, lol!

Mind you, before you take the glasstank out, save yourself some troube and google, whether your producer puts the orings in or not.Then try whether your tank holds a vacuum.
I found 2 transparent orings in the spare kit of my kingtu, looked inside the tank and thought they had forgotten them. So I took the glasstank out. Orings were in! It took me about an hour to get the tank back in again as it has to go over this bloody oring, which doesn't want to stay in place! With an authentic glasstank you get a tool to get it in again. Looks like a piece of a broomstick. What worked for me was the cap of a lip balm lipstick, had exactliy the size to apply equally balanced pressure on the glasstank to push it in again. But I think anything round with the same diameter as the glasstank will do.

Oh, I agree. Do the vacuum check first because it might save a lot of grief.
hurricanegirl, pm me your address also and I'll send you Chuckie's tank and chimney. It doesn't leak and has a good seal between the tank and chimney. That may also be an area of vacuum loss.

That Sucks if those O rings are not seated proper, or missing it's not going to be easy.
I watched a YT video on it, looks like a PIA to fix

Hard enough on plastic tanks. Worse for glass.Well, I put them in on Chuckie so his tank will work for her until the one she has gets fixed, if it needs to be.
New wick. Put the cotton a little further down into the side channels.
I want to thank everyone here for their advice and considerable patience! Gotta love ECF.
