Smok TF-RTA G2 Beast Tamer

I do a lot of reading here and I don't post a whole lot, but this recent tank addition to my vape armory has me at the absolute end of my wick and I would really like to get this sorted so I'm calling upon those that have used or currently use this tank build. It arrived with pre-installed Clapton coils that read@ .22ohm(not the .45 ohms listed, guessing they forgot to divide?) on a V2 velocity deck, wicked it up, screwed it together, filled her up and leaks, leaks, leaks. I took it apart cleaned everything meticulously, checked the rubber seals to make sure they were where they needed to be exactly, and were solid, even rewicked the coils, but once I filled the tank via top port, same thing.

I don't particularly like the liquid lock function above the air holes as it rotates back and forth so easily without any tension needed and I thought perhaps this may be to blame(it certainly was a bad idea to add such a feature imho, an anti-leak device that causes it to leak more,smh), but logic tells me it has to be a bad bottom gasket that it's coming out of. I'm just wondering if anyone else with one of these has experienced this problem and if they were able to rectify the issue. Or it will become yet another victim of my online buying without trying and no shop to enter and discuss with. So any help would be awesome, I've wasted so much money on online purchases that never quite fit the bill I think it may have caused an ulcer.

Did they send you extra o rings (usually do) and have you replaced the ones that came on the tank to see if that solves it?

Yep they did send a replacement set, that's gonna be my last move I guess. Gonna clean and inspect everything again and use the extra rings, if that fails then I'm plumb out of options. Will update results.

I had severe leaking problems with mine as well. Tried what felt like everything and finally gave up. It's back in its box, but I'll follow this thread hoping that someone will have a solution.

I just gave it one last shot and meticulously disassembled, cleaned and reassembled and filled. I took about a dozen or so pulls off of it while keeping it perfectly vertical and I felt juice drip on my fingers and then noticed it spit juice out of one of the four air slots, I cleaned and inspected the air holes and it was clear, it was like it spit it out all at once. Also this thing generates incredible heat with the .2 coils it came with, I couldn't vape more than 3 or times before it's too hot to handle. I just picked it up after an hour sitting still straight up and noticed some tiny spots of juice on the pyrex which can only have come from the seals(which I replaced and tightened incredibly solid).

Yep, I'm done with this thing, maybe someone that has one that's working properly that can add some sort of suggestion.
