I have a full size Eyecotech clone, and the SXK mini, the full size I have seems a bit more sensitive to wicking. Full cup, light and puffy is what it likes, Mini is a bit more forgiving.
Since you seem to be indicating your leaking issue is a new thing are you sure it isn't a nicked/wore poor quality o-ring somewhere in the top?
Again guess I got lucky on my Hussar, no problems at all with it, I'm not super fond of the Hussar good tank, good flavor, but a tad tight on the air flow for me. pretty much same opinion I have on the Vapor Giant Mini AKA Shenray SR V4.
Doris from 2F is touting the Shenray clone of the new Taifun as being done as well as the SR V4, which is amazingly well machined.
@TrollDragon If you get a chance checkout my amazingly simple 100% fix for the weeping Merlin 1x 8x1 o-ring and 10 seconds. posted in the Merlin thread.
