It ain't here yet! I've been good and not tortured myself compulsively checking tracking all weekend. Mainly because it will probably show up at the PO Monday or Tuesday, when I won't be able to get it or build it
I'm pretty excited about it actually. Got bandaids ready even for when it shreds my gloves

I think that the taste flavor was from an older batch.
That when a new large batch was made someone screwed up royally.
I had been going to one local B&M buying a couple of flavors. For the first few weeks a flavor would be great. Go back to buy some more and it is not the same. In some cases it is downright awful. I was buying a sour apple flavor, last one I bought had no flavor at all. Like someone left out the flavoring.
Somebody, somewhere screwed the the recipe and no one cares enough to correct the problem.
Ya, juice gets in the space between ring and base. Mine is always seeping. My rings seal fine. Just keeps the ring wet. Which is understandable. Everything is a trade off. But you have to break the tank down to clean. And then the clean is short lived. The Polish isn't much better. Black highlights leaks/seeps. But so does a polish. Just my OCD kicking in. Others probably don't care or mind.

I haven't had any seeping so I'm wondering if we can correct that. However, if I was going to travel with it, then I would probably drain the chamber back into the tank, and shut the jfc.
You high ?
You were HIGH
I wishYou were HIGH
You're talking minor clearance between ring and base. I don't really see how it can be smaller. I mean it can, but then tight and not smooth. O-rings seal ends, or should. But you are left with minor clearance and coming out of holes. My juice comes out the holes. Keeping that clean is what it is.
If juice is seeping past the o-rings, then it's the o-rings. When mine is clean, the ring is tight and smooth as it should be. Once it's lubed with juice, it's good. Most other AFC are the same way. You are not going to get a 100% positive seal with machining. So o-rings are used which leaves a minor clearance for juice to get in. It is what it is. Nothing is "wrong".

I have four Boreas's and all of them came with extras. I've got fucking O-rings for this for days.

Before I break mine down again, which o-ring did you switch out to stop the slow leak from around the airless? This thing has so many of them I'm a little scared of pulling them off willy nilly, lol.

The two holding the AFC ring in place and the deck o ring all got changed. One fixed it. It wasn't a LEAK per se, it was more-so a perpetual film that would just smear instead of wipe off when I tried to clean it.

That's the same problem I have. Just enough to be annoying

I switched to using like a bathroom towel to clean the black ones. Something about the finish makes eliquid really cling to the tank.

RX200 is my recommendation for a lot of power for not a lot of money. 250W with the update, SS316L, Titanium G1 and Nickel 200 TC built in, three custom TCR modes plus 1-200 (250 with update) watt power mode. Triple 18650, seen them as low as $39.99. Only problem is the 510 pin is liable to get stunted out if you use a device with a longer 510 pin.
Then there's the Cuboid, which I call the little brother to the RX200.
Evidently there's now an iStick200W, which is also triple 18650. I'm pretty sure it's the same RX200 chip in a wider mod. Joyetech seems to love stuffing the same board into different mods.
I can't recommend IPV's due to their iffy history, but the IPV5 is a cheap option.
The Laismo G series are all 200W, ranging from higher quality touch screen down to basic 200W.
Then the Kooper Plus 200W and Primus 300W.
The Fuchai 200W and Sigelei TS 150TC
Hell, 200W mods are a dime a dozen now, and now you have 250 and 300W mods. Oh, China.
Then you have the Tesla 200W, which is also iffy.
High wattage just gives you headroom, even if you don't use it the battery life and options still exist. Just remember you're not going to get more than like 165W true wattage out of any dual 18650 mod, anything over 150W on dual 18650 is done by PWM or rapid charge/discharge capacitor setups.

EJ I haven't even been active in the thread much today, I think you just like upping your post count.
I've been using pre made claptons from a roll, LOL I know the easy way out. 
I don’t have a drill so I hadn’t been able to make my own until I found a video of somebody hand twisting Clapton wire, I thought what the hell give it a try. I managed to make some nice 28g x 30g kanthal coils and was happy for a day or so. I got to thinking I have a dremel why not give it a try, well my first go was a mess until I tried grabbing the chuck to slow the rotation down to a manageable speed. I was able to make a decent pair of 24x2g x 32g kanthal coils, they’re not anywhere close to the famous Ramo coils but I’m happy. 7 wraps 3mm ID came out to .19, It was a challenge to get them to fit but I managed. I’m vaping at 140w and it’s like I’m drinking the juice and now I may need to back away from the 6mg.

For some reason I've grown to like smaller fused claptons better. I still vape them at hellishly high wattages, I just feel the ramp up isn't as long. Priming your vape on a tank is a good way to send juice flying out of the air holes, but still some very nice coils. 28 x 2 with 32 and 26 x 2 with 30 are my favorite for fused claptons in RTA's. For drippers I'll gladly vape dual triple core 24 ga with 34 gauge fused claptons, I have that exact build populating my Twisted Messed Squared right now.

What happened to the Hexohm?
I put a.08 build on it
Hey be nice!EJ I haven't even been active in the thread much today, I think you just like upping your post count.
They dont like when you go under .2 Ohms...your damaging it everytime you hit that button and thats why if your super subohming its not a great device...
I tossed an idea together about buying a domain and making a proper site but I made a quickie just to see how it owuld go...Remember this is only a half hour prefabbed site that isnt finished (think "rough draft")...http://raymo2u.wix.com/coilshop

hi duke
rather then burning up a nice dremel ceep doing them by hand .. they turned out nice !
try to find a used vary speed drill used.. even the old fashioned 110 v ones .
some times you could get lucky at good will .
I still use a $25 Black and Decker drill I got from Walmart on sale....Its great when your starting out (3 speed) and its 18V.
I really want a Dewalt drill that I saw that can crank up to 2,900 rpm with 8 speeds...but you wont need that kind of speed or settings when your getting started. Grab the cheapest drill you can, even a plug in and you can freehand them or get some swivels for fishing. If its corded then lay it on its side if your using swivels...they dont need to be standing to use them!

hi raymo
I have an old 12v dewalt its great . but had no luck with the fishing swivels from wally mart.
using a ceychain swivel ,, try it !
Thats a good idea but I would need something that can take alot of force...I remember breaking them as a kid, I couldnt imagine how it would be now.
ramo
just tried pulling real hard .. no problem ..worth a try I find that they turn with less friction then the cheapy fishing swivels .
