Try adding a couple pieces of wick to your existing wick, try something like 25% more than what you have. Just lay them on there where the wick goes through the slots.
If it still leaks you know to look else where if not make the wick a little fatter
You might try just fluffing the ends of the wick by poking it in the center and spreading it outward (the ends)
Craig-
Please advise. For somebody that is not going to modify things (not that handy and do not own a dremel) is there much difference in the GT and the GT2?
I did get one GT that has the air control and I like that one better than the ones I have that do not have it. Wondering if I even need to advance to the GT2. Can you tell me the benefits?
Thanks so much for all you advice ALWAYS

The chamber cap is adjustable on the TGT II, it opens or closes the wick slots some but the cloners only got it to do about half. The TGT II has a 3 mm air hole between the posts and comes with a short plastic tube to reduce it to 2 mm. Has 5 small air holes on each side. Glass tank on original and some clones.
I would say the answer for you is the old type A or the GT-S that you mentioned
If you need one go ahead perhaps and get a TGT II but not for to upgrade as stock they are about the same vape.

Since we're all abusing Craig today - do you know offhand what the total airflow is through the GT II with the AFC wide open? You mentioned the inner tube is 4mm, but I didn't think the air intake holes added up to this much. Was curious how much wider it is than the KF4. The GT II certainly feels more airy even with the 4s kit installed in the KF4.
While the air outlet on the TGT II is 3 mm there are ten 1 mm holes for the inlet, they are close to being equal to a 4 mm hole) but the bottle neck is inside the base, it could be even more free flowing.
On the K4 sub center pin the ID is 2.7 mm
An example of the difference lies here, a 4 mm hole has 4 x less resistance than a 2 mm hole. Whether hole, pipe, duct this applies. Also the length of a "duct" needs to be considered.
This is a picture of FT type "A" base, it's the early brass one.
If the screwdriver is 9 o'clock look at around 10 o'clock, that is the hole the air enters the deck from the base. It comes from below the brass disc and goes into that hole at an angle to the center of the deck then straight out. This is the bottle neck inside the deck that I refer to.
More than what you ask I guess.
The stock TGT II I believe is much more airy.

In trying to answer my own question I found the user manual on smokerstore's site:
http://www.smokerstore.de/WebRoot/Store11/Shops/61925514/MediaGallery/TGT2_Manual_HiRes_Final_E.pdf
In the airflow section it says, "The diameter of the air hole in the evaporator chamber is 3mm...".
3mm sounds about right. It was not a lot more airy than the KF4 with 4s kit, but enough to notice. 3mm GT II vs 2.7mm KF4 sounds right. Where did the 4mm figure come from? If I had a digital caliper this would be a lot simpler.
Thanks as always for answering all my annoying questions. You da man.

Right, it might be 3 mm, I'll measure it now, one moment.In trying to answer my own question I found the user manual on smokerstore's site:

3 mm it is.
Airy is this Kanger mini Subtank I'm tooting on now.

Here, I decided to open up airflow of my other GT II Clone. Looks a little ruff from milling, but with the adjustment ring on, it an't that bad 
I have one here that so far I enlarged the wick slots to 3 mm but have yet to put a build in it till I decide what if anything more I"ll do to it. I probably will slot the air inlets as well, just haven't decided yet.
Of my big air big cloud tanks the TGT II modded is the most satisfying vape.

HEREHEEE. after talking to dwcraig, I finally picked up a Dremel and bench vice. Can't wait for my tgt2 to come in. I've been practicing on my lemo

That means: Soon we'll be seeing more high resolution macro photography pictures "Ala Kiwi"

Hehe we'll see. I'm working on making sure I don't end up adding airholes in my fingers

This is not the finished product, ran out of time to do more pictures, wanted to finish the build before work.
3 mm ID, 28 gauge ni200, 15 wraps, 0.19 ohms.
Oh this is my newest one, I decided to slot the air in hole. Just did the one side like AMD did.
At Fasttech, says for TGT II but it fits TGT I also.
I'm not ordering any till after their holiday though.
Not really sure if I want any anyway.
I had one and loved it. Want another but could not find it at FT last time I looked
