I received this rta yesterday, and put a build on it this morning, and after a short time it started flooding
I put in a 2.0mm dia., 6 wrap coil, 1.6Ω, and wicked with rayon, that's tight in the coil. I ran the wick down thru the wick cut outs to the deck, and tucked it back to the center of the deck behind the groove with the wick ends still touching the deck.
I was vaping this at 7 watts, maybe not enough watts to burn all that juice? I'm a tootle puffer, and don't do high watts. Anyone have any suggestions?

i am saying no more than that i have the authentic and it is the least demanding ultra-flavour atty i have. It doesnt leak a drop let alone flood. Brilliant!

I re wicked it doing the same as before, except I fanned out the wick ends more. So far it's holding with no leaking, or flooding. I did notice after taking it apart that the chimney was loose and not tight in the top of the tank. That might have allowed some air inside, breaking the vacuum in the tank. Still vaping this at 7.6w on my Radius. If I have any more trouble, I'll try a 2.5mm dia.

@oplholik

Switch to a 2.5 mm coil.

2 mm coil flooded on me every time.

Dont trim the tails very much either

I just got mine: This one from FT (use coupon code MAP), and will add my info for anyone looking up how to build (like I just did!). Just my very first build on it, but working nicely: I used 30G SS, 2.5 dia, 7-8 wraps, came out to just over 1 ohm, cotton blend wick about 6.5 centimeters long (2.5") tucked down the channels with tails wrapped snugly around base in opposite directions, primed with juice, tamped it all in neatly, and voila.

Very nice! Though I would prefer a glass or SS tank.
