Got my Orings today for the great looking but unfunctional glass tank with metal covering. Wasted WAY TOO MUCH TIME trying to get that Oring in place. How in the heck does one manage that?
Which one is giving you a problem. top or bottom?
Let me start with the top one. If it seems too difficult to get it to stay on the groove of the metal top piece just position it evenly on top of the glass and screw on the top, it should all come together. (the o-ring must fit the ID of the metal tank to get this procedure to work. If smaller it just about has to be placed on it groove of the cap to get it together)
20 x 1 mm works best for top of clones.

TGT2 hands down unless clouds are more important than flavor and build quality.

I am not a guy and I have had Taifuns for years. The Taifun gt2 for months. Just got a Lemo last week and the Taifun is hands down easier to build

I've never really liked the looks of these style tanks, but the vape is the best and right now it's my fav. Once Dems gave me the advice of "less is more" wick, these things are a easy mode building and give an awesome vape. Airflow, taste, ease of use...all the best of my small collection.

I'm late to the party with Taifuns Chanel, but what model are you using and how was it leaking? Out of the airflow openings?

what made the BIG difference for me was getting those acrylic tanks (yes at FT) and having so many less leaking problems. I have now ordered a tank with the fill screw (mostly because it is pink)

All models leaked for me and I always assumed it was out of the airflow. Most of the time it was bad orings but I would assume it was bad wicking and practice every which way and also replace one oring after another. Having 4-5 of them at least one was always leaking. Started buying these
$2.06 Replacement Acrylic Tank for Taifun GT-T V2 RTA - translucent at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
and all leaking has subsided. telling me I am wicking fine and it was obviously an oring since with the above there is only 2 Orings to worry about instead of like 7

Well there are a couple of known instances where they (cloners) machined the groove for the 4 x 1 o-ring on the stem too deep and the area of the top tank that the 17 x 1.5 mm o-ring seal against with too big ID (these can be handled with slightly over sized o-rings though not really super easy).
The 4 x 1 mm does get some wear over time due to filling, ect.
But here is how I check mine:

Another thing that can happen is the stem's o-ring is not inside the chamber's cap (chamber too low)
