You are certainly correct. I did not notice the spelling error on the side of the box. The tank is perfect as I am still vaping it today. I ordered another in Silver moments ago. I may get a different color but I really don't care this is just as a backup considering the price I cannot pass this up.
I have already vaped through 2 tanks full on this one with 70vg/30pg and it has been perfect. Excellent flavor.
I have a Siren V2 22mm which is definitely authentic and the box is kind of similar(see pics attached).
I've ordered one from 2fvape now anyway as I'm so happy with the 22mm and you can't argue with that price even if it is a clone.

I've got the 2ml version and I notice that when vaping, the air bubbles get trapped under the build platform, and the more you vape the bigger the trapped air bubble gets. My concern was the air bubble surrounding one of the wick legs and it not being able to wick. Every now and then I have to tip the tank upside down to clear the air bubble.
Anyone else get this happening?

That is probably a wicking issue. I have no idea what you are using for a coil or wick so no suggestions. I have not had that problem although I have the 4.5ml tank. Can also be an issue with the viscosity of your juice, but less likely the problem. Try to go with a 3-3.5mm simple round wire coil and fluff up your cotton so that it fills the wick slots without choking them.
Lots of good videos on youtube. Here is one I like:
I've had the same issue with the 22mm version (using 70/30 juice), but I sold it because the capacity was to small and got myself the 24mm version. No bubbles in the tank. If someone's thinking about buying the Siren 2, I recommend the bigger 24mm version.
I have vaped through several tanks on my SirenV2 (clone?) and all have been perfect. It is time for me to change wicks. Now for the first time realized that it is not possible to change the wick without dumping the remaining e-juice? At least I cannot see any way to do that? If any of you that are experienced with the V1 or V2 have a magic method for re-wicking without dumping the tank contents please speak up? Considering the price of e-juice around here I am careful not to dump any (within reason a few drops not a problem).
About thirty minutes after making this post I decided to just go for it. I turned the tank upside down while it was about 1/3 full and let the juice flow to the inverted top. Then I removed the build deck. It came out without issue as the threads are really smooth. I re-wicked and inserted the build back into the inverted tank. I had the afc closed for this exercise. After tightening the build deck into the tank I turned the tank upright and refilled it. It all works perfectly with the new wick installed. Just be carefull to only attempt this with the tank less than half full and I think it is not that difficult.

Keep the tank upside down and you should be fine - unless the juice overtops the chamber, but you can see whether it does before you unscrew it. I don't have any trouble standing mine on its drip tip. I suppose you might dislodge the glass from the top if you aren't gentle enough with it, but I haven't had any problems there.
Same, 22mm, 2ml. I get bubbles that get stuck there too, but it has not actually caused any problem. Eventually they work themselves out. It's just such a tiny gap between the glass and the deck housing. I would also say to go for the 24mm version though, because...why not.
My 22mm V2 just arrived from Origin Vapes. Ordered on the 27th, shipped on the 28th. Darn quick. I popped in the supplied coil (1 Ohm), wicked, closed off the air holes and filled. HUGE leakage, juice all over the over the place! The bottom O ring had not seated properly. Cleaned it up, reset the O ring and screwed it tight. No problem after that. So, for those yet to receive their V2 check that bottom O ring when you screw the deck back in. It is vaping great at 16 watts. However, 1 Ohm is a bit too low for MTL for me. Next build will be 1.5 - 1.7 with a tighter draw. One negative: I cannot stand that drip tip. The white tip looks ugly against the gunmetal color and it feels clunky and uncomfortable. I'll be chucking that for a black delrin tip on my next trip to the vape store.
I had the same experience once with mine. That o-ring that sits on the build deck to seal between the build deck and the glass has a habit of just falling off when you remove the deck. The very first time I re-wicked I didn't notice that it had just fallen off onto the desk and I went to replace the deck without it. I stopped just before I started to screw it in as I notice the o-ring sitting there. So you are right, be careful that o-ring is in place before screwing in the deck.
I've been using mine for about a week now, and am pleased with the improvements Digiflavor made with the V2. The construction and materials used surpasses the V1 and it's a solid piece of kit. Digiflvor needs to invest in some VG, because the destroyed the installed O rings on the tanks; all of mine were baked onto the glass. Usually with stuck O rings, I can remove them under some hot water, but these were tough to remove and a few of my V2's still have traces of O ring plastic adhered to their sides.
The building is easier, and I have no issues with coil installation or the new airflow. Wicking is still easier with cotton than rayon. I only had minor luck with the rayon holding the liquid in the tank; although I though I had repeated the same wicking, I get more liquid rivers and draining tanks than usable devices. With cotton, it takes with the first wick.
I was apprehensive of the new top cap design, since I take the device to work with me and it sits in the pocket of my cargo pants as I work, and I move a lot during my shift. I've had tanks unscrew themselves from the mod in my pocket before, in fact. But the top cap had remained secure.
Overall, the airflow is smooth and the flavor is what I expect from a Siren. Except for the issues with nailing the wicking with Rayon and having to use cotton like in the V1, I've been enjoying the tank.

Mine is leaking as well, the liquid is coming from the bottom/base of the tank from the space around the airflow ring. I have changed the bottom O-ring, used more cotton and longer coil but nothing seems to be helping. I have no idea from where is the liquid coming down? maybe from under the coil travelling to the base? I can't see how could the bottom O-ring help in this case. btw. there is a medium size O-ring in the spares, where is this used?

If the juice is leaking from the base on the Siren V2 there are only two ways I can see this happening. One would be the obvious, that the o-ring used to seal between the glass and the build deck is not properly in place or is out of spec (wrong size). The other is far less likely but that would suggest a manufacturing defect with the press fit of the air flow (the 3 holes). If that is not properly fitted it will leak. It can be removed as some here have done and they did find that when it was removed it caused leaking as you are having. If you find that it is anything more complicated than the o-ring I would return it for a replacement.
Thanks for the response. I have changed the bottom o-ring and it didn't help. Only after I removed the airflow 3 holes to see if fitting it better would help but it did not. To be clear, I can vape on it for hours without any sign of leaking and suddenly it starts to leak from the bottom.
On way 1 (bottom o-ring), I can't understand how would it leak to the bottom if the side is dry. It is true that the airflow holes start to get wet before liquids starts to leak from the bottom.
For the second way, I thought that the liquid is falling from the coil/cotton to the holes and find it's way somehow to the base and leaking from there. I tried a longer coil so that the cotton does not touch the 3-holes, not really sure it helped a bit but still leaking slightly from the base.
Either case, I guess it should not leak from the base but rather from the adjustable airflow holes on the side, leaking from the base means that it is not sealed properly. I'm still trying to find out where is the mid size o-ring used in the tank, if it is in the base somewhere it might help.

I have removed the screw and the base is wet, same for the place under the press fit of the airflow, so liquid is getting down from the middle either through the 3 holes (liquid dropping from cotton/coil) or from around the press fit. I figured out the medium o-ring size is the top one, initially I thought it is the same size as the bottom one but it is not. I have submitted a claim request and will see. Thank you
