Good morning. I feel like the flavor is a little muted compared to the same liquid in an itank I’ve been using.
Thanks, hitt, I'l take a look at the sides when I open it up again. I might rewick it once I empty the tank again - just filled it up about halfway.Im not sure but it kinda looks like your wick might be sticking out a little to each side which might be touching inside the chamber. I put a build in mine tonight and did 3-4 light comb outs on each side then pushed the wick shoulders in a little with my tweezers. I’ll let you know if I get seeping.
I missed out on that one but have taken a liking to the ZX dual.One of my old favorite tanks was the original Zeus rta. It was super easy to wick and build and was top airflow which never leaked.

I was getting a little weeping after filling with this but not crazy bad. Just kind of filmed over the lower air slots - corner of a oaper towel soaked it right up.
Flavor is a shade off though.
I'm not sure if these pics are useful, but here are a couple of my latest wicking -I mostly use COTN threads although I do have other cotton and even bought some of the high end cotton that SMT suggested and likes. I found one of my tanks so will get a build in it tomorrow. I also just got the knight aio and innokin p60 for review but I’m not in a big hurry since I just got them.

No hurry - I know you seldom have much time to relax nights/weekends!
Honestly, I think that I'm just plain horrible at wicking. I have gotten a bit more consistent with the ZXs but still need to adjust or rewick sometimes as I can tell the flavor is off.
Sometimes I know that one coil is wicked a little thin but I try it anyway and end up redoing it because I can taste the difference.
I do watch (and rewatch) wicking videos when I haven't used an atty for a while or am having issues.
I even started doing the roll thing with the cotton - where you spread it apart thin then roll it up.
Seems to work better for me... sometimes.
Goodnight, daleGood night snails![]()
Good evening Dale and lurkersBela and I made fajitas for supper tonight, she’s staying with us for the next 10 days.
Thank you, hittI just scanned my review and remember the wicking being a bit difficult. I tried a pretty aggressive comb out and got gurgling. I then slightly combed one side and no comb out on the other side and it worked ok but the flavor wasn’t as good. I’ll dig one out to build and try a slight combed out on both sides and report back.
Good evening, hitt
Cloudy is a Hellvape Fat Rabbit Solo.
Sometimes my wicking seems good at first, then dry hits or leaking. Now and then I'll get a refill or two in before the leaking starts.
All the gaskets look fine.
Tried stuffing the well, cotton just off the floor of the well, just a touch in the well.
When something does appear to work through until it's time to freshen up, I can't seem to duplicate those results again.
I may just be horrible at wicking!
I think I reviewed that one. I’ll take a look.Good evening, hitt

Good evening, hitt.Good evening. Work was a little chaotic today. I’m still glad to be busy. Our oldest daughter is on her way home for the weekend. Just a few more weeks and we’re moving her back to an apartment here. It’s going to be really nice having her close by again after all these years.
