Has anyone figured out what to do about the leaking when refilling? This is super annoying. I've tried replacing the o-ring on the deck with one of the clear ones in the spare-parts bag (like someone here suggested) but it acts the same.

All I need to do is open the top cap and large air bubbles flow out of the jfc holes with the jfc turned all the way off.

Is this a manufacturing flaw? Are some of them just bad? I don't think it's my wicking job at all. It only leaks when refilling.

I haven't tried filling it upside down... The gap between the chimney and the glass is way too thin to fill from a bottle though.

I tried uploading a pick of the wick... But it was too large. It looks like all the other wicks in this thread lol.

I re-wicked. I'll see if there's any change. Its just strange to see all that air come up if the JFC is supposedly "off".

Maybe crop the pic to make it smaller... Do you have any syringes? Let us know how the re-wick goes

You can resize the canvas/image to make the file size smaller or just upload it to imgur and copy the forum/bb code to post the image inline instead of uploading it to the forum.

Syringes? Ain't nobody got time for that! Lol just kidding man... No I don't have any syringes at the moment.. But I'll just put this tank on the shelf before I start carrying around a syringe to fill my tank. Good suggestion though.

I had been drinking last night, and cropping would have been too complicated at the time :D


I had better luck last night after re-wicking. I took the extension piece off and it didn't leak all night. Well.. until this morning.. I went to refill it again and put the extension piece back on and it leaks again D:

Looks like you need more wick in the wells??? I use bottles like these...

I'm still learning these tanks and so far I can stuff the wells tight. Might be because of my thin liquids tho. Still trying all different wire sizes and types and they all have given me great flavor. It's making me want to see just how much flavor these short tanks will give. Simply Amazing so far!

I'll try not to cut off that much wick next time. I'm using rayon, so I just thought maybe it would need less material on the ends. Thanks!
With Rayon, you typically need more. Rayon doesn't expand when wet the way cotton does, so filling (not packing... leave a little wiggle room) will work better than loosely tucking. Now, if it was cotton, which does expand, the loose tuck would work.

I have tried only two single coil builds. I definitely dig this tank.
@Asylumsix I never put in the spitback protector.
I'll find my build for the single coil I'm sure! Dual coil is great on here so it's just a matter of time!
I didn't realize they stopped shipping them with it in after I told them it improves airflow with it removed...

Old post but meh...

I will concur with this. It's definitely up there for single coil and flavor. I just did a pictorial for the Cthulhu MTL. Another nice single coil.
I really like the Velocity Style tanks on this and the Merlins. I tried using one of my old Kayfuns and it annoyed me putting the wire on it... How is the Cthulhu working for you?

For those who have leaking issues with the Goblin, Try putting a very thin o-ring at the base to seal the bell off to seal it tighter. I think that might be an issue for some. Please try this and let me know if it helps. Very curious about this. See pic
