Not really leaking just a drop here and there. It uses a block for single coil and bubbles are coming out from the blocked juice flow so assuming its damaged or is that normal? I tried short cotton and long cotton so next time I'll just stuff it with cotton. If ya'll think its the block I can use dummy cotton to plug it up correct?

Ale sure the wick is completely clear of tbe air holes.

Some seapage is normal with bottom air..... as gravity is in affect and consensation. Both lead to juice in the air channels... since the juice won't flow up... you get seapage. Proper wicking Can reduce.. but not eliminate.

Sounds about right, it is my 1st bottom airflow RTA so I'm not used to it. Don't leak at all, just condensation maybe.

If the juice block is bubbling then it's leaking.
It gets way more bubbles then what comes out though so it must get to the cotton before it gets to the air hole on the other side. Not what I'd call leaking, just a little dot on the airflow builds up... nothing on the mod at all.

No it means the juice is flowing....... or being absorbed by the wick. Should be a bubble or a couple after every draw.

Excess flow and condensation are the most common source if leaks out the air holes.

Might need more cotton at the juice channels...need enough to seal the tank but not plug it up. just be careful not to have so much you choke off the coils. Or give juice an easy route out. If atty has juice control close it down some

Leaks at the seams is bad o rings.

He means where the block is.. I'll try to take the block out and just over stuff it with cotton to block it.

You need to reread my response. IF THE BLOCK IS BUBBLING IT'S LEAKING. A PLUG IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAVE BUBBLE COMING OUT OF IT. IF IT DOES IT'S LEAKING.
Ohhhhh... didn't know those had a juice block..... might put it back on my wish list.

But i still don't like how the air is flush to deck and so close to wick holes. Just asking for seapage.

Clean as a whistle now. Tank kinda sucks though regardless, gonna try to plug up some of the side I use airflow as well. Way to big IMO. Clamps are great but they should have made it the EZ Goblin, EZ Bellus or EZ Goliath... all better tanks then this. I think the tall chamber required to house the clamps has alot to do with it.

The thing I've noticed is these blocks never work well in an otherwise large chamber. It's why single coil on the Bellus is actually good, but lousy on say a Limitless+. Does that deck have any other way to secure the legs if the spring post things get too loose over time, or is that just the nature of the design?

A single coiled Bellus wide open has less airflow then this almost closed completely closed. No other way to secure legs but It seems solid even on this used one it is hard to close it, springs or whatever it uses are super tight. Its been out almost a year and no one has said anything about it... could be its fine or because they had to sell them for as low as $1 I seen on one site to get rid of them lol. No one wanted to find out I guess.

It's always nice to give an orphan tank a home.
