    hi guys i noticed that it leaks on me whenever i refill?
    This is the procedure I use, and it has alleviated that a lot, most of the time at least 100%:
    Close air flow ring.
    Refill. But not to the top.
    Turn tank upside down.
    Count fairly slowly to 5 or 10.
    Turn right side up.
    Open AFC.
    Draw, but without firing, 2 or 3 times.

    Good luck bud. I have absolutely come to almost want to marry this tank. My girl who I've been with for almost 20 years is jealous..

    Oh yeah, I forgot to say that, but probably don't need to.. though I do remind myself to not do it again.. :facepalm: especially before turning the tank upside down.. :laugh:

    Just a little tip for those folks that like a tight MTL draw. You can take the air flow plug from the MTL kayfun kit and pop it right into the Serpent Mini for a much better MTL experience.

    Are these kits available separately or do yo have to buy a Kafun to get it? Maybe this is what I need.

    Well now...

    Coming soon, a 25mm, ~4 to 5 ml Serpent Mini.

    I don't have any of the recently popular 25mm RTAs, but I have an original 'Mizer that I love and a new Supreme Lite on the way but they're primarily dual coil decks (the Lite has an adaptor) and I generally prefer single coil builds. And I know little about the original Serpent.

    So this bigger Lil' Serpent has my interest.
    Waiting for the flood of pre-release sales copy.
    I was hoping they would give us a bigger one. I love how short it is but you burn through juice of an too fast with the low ml. Most of my tanks are 25mm now so being wider won't bother me a bit.

    I was going to get the black version from Gearbest but I think I will wait to see if the bigger version comes out. Thanks for the heads up!

    I haven't had a single drop leak from mine. I just pop the top and fill it, no whirling a chicken in the air, fifteen hail Mary's etc. I'm using 70/30 VG/PG, maybe it's an issue that affects higher PG mixes?
    The only issue I've had is that I have to grip the pyrex first or when I try to take off the top cap I end up unscrewing the whole thing.

    I bought one because people said it didn't leak. You can find that in every thread of every RTA though. Like I've said, wicked just enough to not leak it was fine for most vaping, but if I wanted to crank up the watts I got dry hits. A little less wick I could crank it up, but it would leak. Tried 20 times different methods and lengths etc..... No go. It's in the box. I have no problem wicking my other tanks to not leak and allow me to crank up the power.

    What do you consider crank up the power? I am vaping mine at 50 watts with a 0.25ohm Flat Twisted SS1316 coil and it is very tasted with plenty of vapor. With such a small deck and chamber I cant imagine needing any more power than that.

    It doesnt leak at all but I do get a slight bit of flooding on refill. Nothing major, just a couple of wet hits right after refilling.

    That's not the issue. A 1.5ohm 3mm ID kanthal can't do those kind of numbers which is why I asked sonicbomb the build and power. What I'm saying is the SM can't handle the same build and wattage my other tanks can. It gives dry hits, unless I wick less which results in leaking. Make more sense?

    What is your build and wattage/temp?

    6 wraps at 2.5mm 26/32 clapton at 28 watts. Initially with cotton, then with rayon which let me take longer hits and bump the wattage up to 30 watts.
    If your orings are sound, then leaking is almost always down to wicking in my experience.
