Never left. With a dozen rtas in rotation, I might recoil one every month or so. Clean and rewick more often, of course.

Still using plain old kanthal A1, and when I need to, I'll anneal and wind up maybe a dozen and set them aside. Good for a year

For some reason I changed from cotton to rayon a few years ago. Maybe I should give cotton another try. I have an ancient bag of Cotton Bacon sitting around. Does cotton have an expiry date?

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.

Question about seals. What would you be looking for when you check seals? I sometimes check them
but all I'm really looking for is tears or broken edges. Are there any other signs worthy of attention?.

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.

Good evening. We took our daughter to this New Mexican restaurant that we hadn’t been to before. It was really good. Now it’s time to relax and call it a day.

Good evening. My electrical is complete and I am a lot poorer. 82 outlets done, a new breaker line, fixed faulty wiring from the garage door opener and other places. Some of the outlets were burned which is scary. One of our neighbors had wiring issues a couple years ago and their house burned down. Same builder so.....

Got 2 new tires on the Fiat, trying to put the house back together after all the furniture was moved for the electrical work. I hope all that is left is getting the AC in the car working. I'm tired.

I’ve only refilled once so far. I have the bottom and top airflows just slightly cracked open. I don’t like a super airy draw. No seeping yet. I do agree that most tanks have different tastes with the same liquid. I used to use rtas exclusively but fell in love with the itanks and coils so have been using those a lot. I do really like the dead rabbit mtl 2 tank a lot and have kept it in rotation since I reviewed it. I’ll let you know if I get any seeping. Like you mentioned, might be a good idea to replace the seals with the spares.

I made some progress on the landscape project but still have a long way to go. The neighbor behind me was out and we ended up talking about an hour.
