your build looks perfectly fine to me

are all the seals still fine?

chamber, chimney, deck etc

 

[BansheeZA]

Top Oring where the chimney goes into the topcap. Make sure it is fitting and seals properly

I'm going to change all the seals again tonight and if it still leaks then I don't know

Top oring is snug and fits perfect

Then there must be an air leak somewhere else

definitely

Did yours come with the clear tank portion as well (seems like the metal one you are using in the pics). Have you tried using the clear tank? The plastic thread has a tendency to flex a bit making sure it seals properly ... worth a shot?

It did I'll give it a try. As I've swopped out the seals for brand new ones and it's still leaking.

Nice coiling! And that wick looks like it came out of a mould...very cool

That wick looks like the one in the kayfun instruction manual. Lol. Very very nice.

 

[Hash Punk]

Thanks a lot guys! I find that because I use organic cotton, I constantly have to rewick. And I hardly have enough time to rebuild so my wicking has had some serious practice

 

[rogue zombie]

Ye I also rewick my EVOD and Russian daily. Also use organic.

Mine still don't look like that

 

[rogue zombie]

I use the "ugly wick" method lol

I use the "ugly wick" method lol

Hahahahaha gotta love it! I roll the cotton between my palms untill it looks like it might just pass through the coil, it ends up nice and packed. The only problem is waiting for it to soak up liquid for atleast 5 min before I vape. Gives the cotton enough time to "unpack" itself so to speak
