Try one of the spares included in the package. I'm hoping it's a faulty oring and not grooves that are too deep.
Take the o-ring off and put a wrap or two of dental floss in the groove and then put the o-ring back on.
nice idea freedogg!
It sucks to have to resort to such MacGyver-ish methods to make something work correctly, but nice trick!
I've had that issue, then after a wash and rebuilding it was fine, next build, it was loose again, really weird
after a wash, mine is nice and somewhat snug. but after some use and a little juice gets in there, it becomes very slippery and spins around very easily.
I received mine and it is super loose there's a 1mm distance from the afc ring to the locking ring. Just by tilting the device the afc can get out of position.
Basically on the black one I'm just putting it on in the full open position and leaving it there. Lubing the o ring didn't seem to help.
I gave the single-coil option a go last night on my Bellus and wasn't thrilled with it. Airflow was way too restrictive for my taste. Back to dual 24g kanthal, .6 ohm, and it hits just right. Been swapping between it and my Lemo 2 pretty regularly now.
I got my bellus in the mail yesterday
cleaned it did a single coil 2.5mm coil at 1.1ohms 28ga kanthal
The flavor is great building is the same as the goliath
Only problem Ive had so far is it leaks some when I top fill so i just bottom filled
MTL and DL both are great airflow is good for both
now just to figure how to stop the leak in top fill
I already tried putting top cap on and turning upside down before opening the air flow
The wicking is fine no leaks after the leaks after filling

I've done nothing but top fill, but I've also been primarily using dual coils. I got some flooding from cutting the wick a little too short, but alleviated the problem by adding a touch longer wick to the mix. Have you tried adjusting the length of your wick to see if it makes any difference?
Probably just need a bit more wick in the channels. Cotton seems to keep swelling even after its saturated so maybe just a little time will fix it for this build.
ok....after enormous leaks after top filling, finally i got it right.
no matter what is your wicking method, how dense it is, the crucial point is YOU HAVE TO REST YOUR WICK TO THE BACK GROOVE OF JUICE CHANNELS. don't leave any hole on the back sides.
put some juice first on the wicks.... set the wicks to the back groove by tweezers/screwdriver then snap it to the glass section.
- some people prefer to leave "tail" on the juice channels, it's OK, specially for thinner juice (<50 VG).
- some prefer to cut it right at the deck's edge (just like me
), it's fine too.
