Merlins seeped.... All 3 of mine did, it was unfortunate but that press fit base was evil. @ccwaters eventually found a fix for it with an o-ring and pressing out the base, but I had long since gotten rid of mine.The Boreas was very popular around here back then. TBH, I was one of the very few who wasn't a big fan of it. I did like the Merlin and still have 2 that see occasional use. But given the influx of squonk shiny with me all my RTAs are being neglected. I hope the don't end up leaking on me out of spite.
There was another ECF'er who had some 300+ atties and was an absolute treasure trove of knowledge, but we don't see him around here anymore either.
