Check your orings. It might be that they have worn out over time and they're not making a good enough seal, and not making the little vacuum it needs to pull juice into the wicks. Then again I could be way off :) I know when I have had trouble in the past it's been orings though.
Glad someone else posted this, first thing the popped into my mind.

Hopefully you get them working again, no matter what the issue is.

Have been vaping away without a leak for days since getting my new tanks. i think all my leaking was coming from having tanks that were worn out at the part where the threads are.
LOVING Taifuns again :vapor:

Did your tanks come with the top cap with stem?

I just setup my GTII and was very proud of myself until I came back and found juice all over the table. It leaked out of the air holes so must have flooded the air tube? Any ideas on what I did wrong or how to fix this?
You might have needed more wick or fluffed then up some more, or the juice control was too far open.

I don't have any pics of dry wicks, but this might give you a good idea at least.

I had at least that much wick. I had all the air holes exposed you think that was the problem? Is that what you mean by air control? I did kind of mess up placing my coil as its not right over the air chamber but kind of off to one side would that be a problem for now?

Oh I see you are saying more wick to block the holes right?

Yeah, and the juice control is the cap you screw over the bushing that has the wick holes. You can screw it down less or more. Also, be mindful of fluffing them up or their length. When you slide it in the tank, it could jostle them a little.

I put the JC cap on while the wicks are dry and cut them down. Then I just prejuice the tips of the wicks and fluff them a little and try to push then down at the top a tiny bit so the tops can get in without touching the tank. Although, I didn't always do that, and didn't have issues.

Ok I thought I fixed it. I rewicked and doubled the wick back inside the chimney thinking that would ensure no gaps. All seemed good over night but then came home from work and leaked again. Getting tired of getting ill from cleaning up juice and smoking cigs out of frustration. First my kayfun 4 now this makes me wanna throw in the towel.

This was happening to me for awhile. I replaced all Orings and it stopped.

anybody know where to get just the chamber replacement? I am talking about the little part that snaps up and down on the base. Cannot believe I lost one and think the cat knocked it off the table and played hockey with it until it is long gone (probably under the fridge with the rest of the cat toys)

Your out of luck on that one, I've never seen them for sell other than the original ones and you can get the whole clown cheaper. I wouldn't be surprised though if somebody started selling them.

Was pumped for this... but then i saw it's size... too tall... too wide :/ I wish they'd stop making 23mm atomizers.
