So bottom tap is what one would want and not plug style?
Yes, the bottom tap is actually meant to tap a blind hole and the lead thread is at or very close to the bottom of the tap where a plug tap has an actual plug at the end and the threads start up the plug and is meant for a thru hole...

There's a few shots that you can see. I see others are having the same issue. That sucks. I know it will work out, but it's too bad.
I tried @SteamStack’s trick and got skittish even though i was using an old dripper so as not to harm my good rda’s. I decided to to go the 2nd route. I'm glad I sent mine back to Eric. I got it back within a week.
Keep us posted....

The Flave 22 arrived today and I soaked it in IPA for a while. Gonna load it with some 24ga SS316L soon and give it a spin :thumb:

ETA: very nice little atty. I quite enjoy the draw on it and the build deck is excellent. Thank you all for the recommendation! :thumbs: Really pleased with this purchase :)

San Bernardino area, So. Cal.
On my recent spree at Reos Mods I ordered the squonk bottles that are softer, and have the delrin caps. These are leaking a little around the threads. I bought one with the steel cap and it came with a very thin gasket, and this one doesn't leak. So I am looking for a very thin material to get and make some gaskets. Any ideas on where to get gaskets to fit these caps, or material to make them myself?

Been vapin' on the Flave 22 and man, I can't thank @TraderX and @Train2 enough. This is exactly what I was after. The draw is perfect for me - a nice DL, not overly restrictive but not too airy. A nice upgrade from the Entheon, indeed. May pick another one or two of these up, to be honest. I figure atomizers are the one thing I may need more of in the future.

For full disclosure I did get the clone from FT :blush: I've always bought authentic gear in the past, save for the RM2. But honestly, the quality of this clone is superb. Can't find a single flaw of any sort. A simple soak in IPA removed any residuals and there is zero off-taste. The build deck is brilliant. Simple with a tight connection, zero wiggle. Easy as easy can be.

Can't speak to the flavor but I imagine it's great. Small chamber, etc. I also really love the driptip it comes with. All in all, great little atty. One of the nicest I've used!

Get an 8 ml-10 ml silicone bottle,, i got the ones with a fill port,, but I wouldn't do that again because its not sturdy enough so I had add food grade silicone to close the holes,,, working great now

I'm using 1 with the black top.and no leaks yet. No gasket either.

Maybe you need to just tighten it more.. thinking the soft threads on the bottle would conform tight if snug.
