I would have expected the pin o ring to be 1 x 3. Thanks so much, Marc, for doing this.

Same here Roxy, I was a little surprised when we put a caliper on it and found definitely bigger than 3. I got 3.5 and 4 just to be safe and picked up some small guys for fill screws and 14mm through 20mm that we can use on other toppers.

I'm having consistent problems with the 510 connection on mine (G vapers version). It's making me want a different atomizer but the Squape has the two features that are now most important to me. Tool-less refilling and being able to work on the build without dumping juice. Getting the authentic is still too expensive for me and I can't seem to find a different atomizer that has these two very important features.

Interesting I also received another Squape Clone from fasttech yesterday as well. So it up right along side the Zquape. The Fasttech came in same type boxing as the one from gvapes, that i got week or two ago. Connecting screws are different however, I like these one the FT clone better. FT clone has logo vs eciggity Zquape which has no logo.

FT Clone started leaking overnight. Vaped it down pretty good on the drive to work, filled her back up & she is leaking again bad. I will have to rebuild her tonight or tomorrow to confirm for myself if I just didn't use enough Ryon or if it is the unit itself. At this point my suspicion is that it is the unit. Juice is coming out of the airhole.

Screwing base into unit is difficult & very tight across all three clones. Not pleasant or easy to screw on & off. The Gvapes & FT (both same boxing & logos) Air flow rings fit & work very nicely. The Zquape (no logo) AFC ring is very very loose. Flops around between the different settings. So much so that the air hole can become partially covered without realizing it.

1) Gvapes vaped really well until something broke internally separating connection so it would not fire. Tight hard to use threading.

2) FT leakes, (still to test if it is my build or unit itself. I suspect Unit.) But vaped well except for leak. Tight hard to use threading.

3) Zquape - no logo - eciggity.com Vapes well. No leaking so far. Loose AFC ring. Only one 'S' deck. (decks from other clones will fit into base they are not same height so posts do not line up well for using connecting screws.) Tight hard to use threading.

My biggest gripe is that if the makers of the original genuine Squape would just make enough so I could buy one, I wouldn't have to go through all this clone crapola.

I think you may be having the same problem as myself and others, the 510 screw is to short and you can't back it out far enough to make contact. If you received extra parts there should be a 4mm o-ring (second one). Pull your 510 pin and stack that second o-ring on top of the first and replace the 510 pin.

I tried using both o-rings together. When I screw the pin back on the outside of the connection (where the threading is) forces the other o-ring off of the screw. Am I doing this wrong?

I wonder if the milling is close enough that the decks will be interchangeable.

Wishful thinking :)

I was wondering the same, but its not sounding like it.

As for leaking: make sure both flimsy o rings are in the metal part of the tank between that and the plastic part. Or that your wick on the W deck goes a bit past the edge of the deck.

The Taifun GT and Rosev2 also have those features. And both are easier to fill than the SqR.

Hi SheerLuck:

I also had problems with the FT leaking out the airhole when I used rayon. I rebuilt it with 3mm ReadyXwick & the leaking stopped. Vapes great now.

Hi all

Received my FT clone a few days ago with skew 1882100. Day one was outstanding. No leaks, great wicking, and great flavor. Today I had a rather large juice leak on the base. That was the only leak spot. Stripped her down and inserted the extra O ring on the 510 pin.

I'm not sure if I should do anything else?

Except vape and see what happens /lol Trust me, every single part has been thoroughly cleaned and lubed. Build still looks good and my organic cotton (Bio Wick) is performing just like it always has.

I see mention ? of an Oring for the plastic tank insert. Maybe I'm nutzo but I don't see one? Where is it? How in heck due I get to it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

:)
