I've had it for a week and have only gotten to smoke it for maybe a day. I can't for the life of me get it to keep from flooding. I've got a awesome coil built, but every time I fill it with juice it leaks out from the center post. I've checked the O rings numerous times. I know I have it put together correctly and the juice control is shut when I fill it. The pressure from the top cap makes the juice leak throughout as soon as I screw it on. I'm about to throw it of the 29th floor of my apartment.......:mad:

Anyone?

If you are talking about the Terminator-C, then the most likely culprit is the oring between the two pieces of the top cap. The one that comes with it doesn't seal well, if you lubricate with juice before you screw down those two pieces it works better, but a 9mm x 2mm oring works infinitely better. That keeps a vacuum inside the tank and keeps it from flooding. If you're talking about the Smoktech Terminator Tank, well it just sucks and time to get something else.

I was figuring it was the o'rings below and above the nut on the bottom of the center post. The nut that screws down the positive connection. The oring on top is a little clear one, and the one below is black.

Is it this one? If so, these are just terrible. I got mine to work, but the threading and machinery is so bad it's hard to get a good seal and even tightening everything down, juice leaks via the threads.

This is the one I have. $16.59 Oddy Clear Tank Rebuildable Atomizer - 1.8 It has the clear tank on it. If I get the real thing will it not do that? How long it the wait for one and where do you pickthem up at? The guy at the local vape store can get it to stop leaking when he builds it, but my luck has been much worse. Sucks, because I really love the look of it, and I want to smoke it. I've been forced to use my igo-L since I bought the stupid thing.

Sorry to say, but that one is absolute garbage. You will never get it to vape close to a Terminator. If you like the vape it gives before it floods, the Term is even better. The Term has it's quirks as well, but the vape is as good as any dripper and better than a genesis, IMHO.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I will order a terminator and see how it goes.
