I 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 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.

Gasket or o-ring? If it's an o-ring, you can get a box of 'em in assorted sizes pretty dang cheap.

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.

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.

Hi, hitt, I did rewick last night and brushed each side 4 or 5 times and dropped the tails in the wells. They go all the way down but it seems to be wicking fine - not dry.
Sides seem okay this time.

Flavor does seem different from the ZX a little but could be due to tank design or coil. The same juice almost always tastes a little different to me using different attys.

There is still just a touch of weeping at the bottom airflow slots after refilling, not with the first fill though.
Maybe I will go over the gaskets again next cleaning.

Thank you again for taking the time to look into it!

I’ve gone through about half a tank so far and the flavor is improving a little. Might just need some time to break in the wick.
