My Tobeco was superb for the first week. Now it dumps juice into the lower deck/air flow chamber.

I've tried maybe 6 different o-rings (#16) of all shapes and sizes even two brands of the popular 12x1.5mm. I've checked every seal/o-ring, changed my builds, used different juice... nothing. The leaking always starts about 15 minutes after i begin to vape on a new build. I'm over it... thing is getting traded asap!

Sounds like you have a bad o-ring causing an air leak into the tank causing your leak. I would check (replace, actually) the tank and chimney o-rings. They might look ok but might be bad.

Or give up and blame the atomizer that everyone else doesn't have any problems with.

After fixing the quirks of my Robot Tech, and nameless copper pinned FT clone I've had no issues at all, My Tobeco has been fine since day one, no issues at all. The Infinite I purchased has been good as well, no messing around with it, juice control was a little stiff at first, but smoothed out pretty quickly.

Cosmetically only an extremely close inspection would yield any differences, except the no-name FT clone has a highly polished chimney. Other then that it is a challenge to tell any of mine apart from the others.

I'll also agree with what has been said about a sealing issue in the tank, sounds like an o-ring got messed up. especially considering it was fine initially.

I have both the original and the Infinite clone, Infinite is a 1:1 copy. Tobeco is also great (finish not quite on par with the Infinite but works perfect).

The Infinite is the best one that I have...EHPro second (after I got the flattened drip tip nut) and I have a Tobeco. The Tobeco vapes ok. but the juice control can be wonky.

I've been a KF3 vaper for a year or so and I bought the Tobeco KF4 5 or 6 weeks ago. It's a vapor producer and once you get the threads worked back and forth enough to polish them it's a breeze to fill and use. The juice control ring on mine has always required loosening the center contact screw to move. I need to sit and work the threads some more to get them all clean and free.

I like the free draw (compared to the KF3). The KF4 seems to maintain juice feed better than the KF3, IMO. Someday, there will be a perfect atomizer design the solves all the problems of juice leakage and complicated assembly. I guess we aren't to that point yet.
