Well it still leaks.. ;( less gurgling, vapable.. But still leaks.. That was when I left about 20% juice inside and left alone for an hour or so.
I guess if I had continue to vape til dry it would be better? Not sure..
It was literally pouring out the air hole.. And the base was wet wet wet.. So can't tell if any was coming out from the 510 or not.
Anyone with the same problem? Like leaking towards the bottom of tank?

Leaks from the air hole where the afc ring is.
Exact same as above...But mine happens around 50%
It's asif the pressure inside disappears completely

LOL . I never yell at my friends, unless we're watching football and their not Dallas Cowboys fans.Definitely 30ga and maybe 29ga. Currently loving 29ga. Dude, I'd be happy to send you some to try out before you make a bigger investment. God knows I have way more than enough but - I just wouldn't want to be yelled at if I happened to send it wrapped around a used cardboard box
I've never had my B deck leak. But I make sure that none of the cotton tails are touching the top of the air shaft on the deck. I imagine if you're getting leaking, its because cotton is not covering all the holes, or its seeping from the cotton tail down the air tube. If you're filling the cup with cotton close to the top of the air tube, I could see juice finding its way down there.
What I do is not stuff too much cotton down the side. I stuff enough to cover the holes, and thats it. So I don't have excess cotton sitting at the same level as the air tube. And thats worked fine for me. Doing it this way, I have noticed the W deck wicks my thick juices better though. I just assume thats because the juice is trying to push through much smaller holes, as well as travel vertically and a longer distance through cotton to get to the coil. I always thought the W deck was such a great design because the juice is moving through cotton horizontally and a very short distance to get to the coil. I've also noticed that I get warmer vapor with the B deck, but that could simply be my coil placement.

So, how hard is it to remove the existing deck? They seemed to snap in pretty firm originally, and I've had no reason to remove them.
They can be tricky, especially if you didn't drown the deck and o-ring in e-liquid when you fitted it.
My best advice, is to put base and deck in the freezer for 30-60 minutes, then either attempt to pull it off using rubber gloves for grip, or the insulated handles of a pair of pliers, or wrap a THICK layer of tape around the deck and use pliers with extreme caution (you don't wanna scratch the deck)...

Hi what's the ID of the coil you usually do? I use 3mm, and to fil the coils properly and with enough to cover the 4 holes there's quite a lot of cotton, and some may well fluff up enough to the same level as the air hole, causing the leak?
Or should I try smaller ID? Or trim off the cotton beyond the coil, so less in the juice well?
That's what I ended up doing. When I couldn't remove it by hand, I wrapped the deck then clamped down with vice grips (just enough to get a nice grip but not damage the deck) and then just popped it right off.
I like the freezer idea and will try that next time. [emoji106]
I use a wire cutter.. The plastic wrapped handle grip the caps enough that I can pull them out with ease..
The cotton isn't the same level as the air tube as i know that could leak. It's below. I'll have to try less cotton and see then. I just use enough to cover the holes and just fluffy. Maybe i could be using too much.
I've scratched a lot of my decks since I've had the squape unfortunately
now i know the trick of the freezer and works wonders!Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Luckily I've only botched one deck (knock on wood)
It was in my SQuape noobie days, where I had just smashed a deck onto the base, without drowning it in e-liquid first, so even after freezer etc., it just wouldn't give. Ordered a new one and tore the old one off
You just need some non-marring soft touch pliers, that way you can grip the deck easily without scratching it, and without freezing it comes right outThe cotton isn't the same level as the air tube as i know that could leak.

Plus, so anxious to hear about your new toy! Are you going to use it strictly for temperature protection? Is there a thread for your new device? Having a hard time finding it on Tapatalk
No thread on ECF for it I don't think. I haven't tried TC yet, I was too impatient to rebuild an atty, lol, I just threw on the closest one and instantly fell in LOOOOOVVEEEEE
Gonna order some of Dicodes own wire too to see how it works in TC, but this weekend I'll be giving tempered nickel a go
Got the pliers on Amazon. IPS PH-165 Non-marring Plastic Jaw Soft Touch Slip Joint Pliers - - Amazon.com
I found a seller in the US that had Prime shipping for those (same ones pictured). They were cheaper than expedited from a China seller, but a few bucks more than the free/discount shipping from same Chins seller...and they were here in 2 days
