Hi, Atty.Hi Pepper.
Hi to the rest of ya snails, too. Flyby.
I think I need to sell it even though it still have that new car smell.
Good afternoon, SMT.and then, good afternoon People..........![]()
Howdy, SMT, I hope you and yours are wellI don't have a Hellvape Fat Rabbit Solo.
Perhaps (maybe???) the reason you are getting leakage/seeping is because the shoulders of your wick, where they come out of the coil, are resting on the deck where the airflow is under the coil.

And maybe, drawing excess juice to the path of least resistance, the airflow sitting under the coil???
My Atmizoo Tripod RTA has a "similar" build deck. And it's deck is very much like all the newer Kayfun RTA's.
What most of us with Kayfun's learned is to move the wick shoulders away from the airflow. And that's also what I do with my Tripod.
Like so.............. Tripod deck.......

I use a sewing needle to move the wick away from the center block where the AF is. Moving the wick shoulders away from the center AF block I don't get any seeping/leakage with my Tripod or modern Kayfun's.
And I also have my coil about 2mm above the AF. Your second photo looks to be ~2mm above also???
Maybe try moving your wick shoulders away from the center AF block and see if that helps???
Just a thought.![]()
I’m surprised I didn’t think of that because I have to do something similar with my siren V1 tanks. If the cotton rests on the airflow inlet then it floods.I don't have a Hellvape Fat Rabbit Solo.

I tried rayon a couple times but didn’t care for it. The cotton you suggested is definitely superior but I already had a bunch of the COTN threads. Also, I’m a bit lazy and the threads make life easy.I still use the Cottonman Mavaton and Carolina cottons. I like his cottons because 1) he and his family have been growing cotton for well over 100+ years in the USA and 2) it's certified organic.
I also use TIDI rayon cotton balls.
Every other wick change, in an RTA or RDA, I switch between the two.
Hi, Fran, thank you very muchGood morning, gloop.Wishing you a very nice day.

Yeah. I was hoping to not get a vernier caliper out though. Im not totally sure it’s just an o-ring though. Sometimes there are other bits.Gasket or o-ring? If it's an o-ring, you can get a box of 'em in assorted sizes pretty dang cheap.
That is sad.My wife and daughter are going to a celebration of life for my daughter’s friend that got hit by a truck. Very sad. She was only 24. I’m going to work outside on my project while they are gone.
Ah, I had a feeling this was why you hadn't mentioned her. I am so, so, so very sorry. I'm glad you have Daisy to be happy about amid all the grief.I took my sweet Em to the vet for the last time 5 weeks ago; her heart problems peaked and it was time.
On the bright side today my Daisy moved in permanently.
Hello, Pepper.I got a notice today in my email asking me where I've been. So, here I am. Hello, people.![]()

Morning, David.Morning mixers.
Heading into the mid 80s, so hunker down in front of the fan...
