I'm on my 3rd week of owning a 510T atty and 5 tanks. Although I don't notice any significant leakage of fluid, the atty is flooding every time I draw on it. The first couple hits are good, and then after that, if I don't store the thing upside down, I have to blow all the juice out of the atty and reseat the tanks to get it to hit again.

Did I screw something up? Or are these things that temperamental? Maybe I shouldn't have tried to clean it out in the first place? I dont' know. :D

Chances are the wicking inside the spike needs readjusting:
