That was a big issue for me as well. Also a problem with the Hastur. The Aeolus (and Manta) didn't have that problem but I couldn't get the flavor out of it that you and others do. I may have to pick up a Lite down the road since they're so cheap and give it another go. Plus they come in green which is a plus.I loved the vector, just not the airflow directly on my lips sometimes and the large bore tip. I've been thinking of getting the comp cap that redirects the airflow to the sides of the top and allows you to use your own tip.
