How do you high airflow guy and gals get enough juice flow?
My dilemma with any tank I have used is getting enough juice from the tank to the wick. The Aromamizer is the best I have used so far but I still have to close my airflow and do a small quick primer puff in order to draw juice in. After that if I open the airflow (2 holes on the coils) I get a fantastic flavor blast that is true bliss for a few pulls then I have to prime again.
I have accepted this as due to the way I draw. I take approximately 4 sec pulls and don't pull real hard due to the noise and quite frankly I never had to draw like I am drinking a thick milkshake when I smoked.
I have wicked all different ways like @EverPresentNoob described:
and have just resigned myself to doing the primers.
Maybe I am just too picky wanting that flavor blast every pull or maybe I need to drill out the juice holes, I don't know. It is just a minor inconvenience but if I could get the juice flowing to match the suction created with my draw it would be perfect.

Im not a cloud chaser but one possible way u could try is to close the air holes with ur fingers and suck the drip tip gently. This decreases the pressure inside (basically like a vacuum) which makes the juice come into the chamber where the wick is. If u suck it too strong it possibly move the wick out of the position but i haven't got any problem by doing this on several tanks.
Another suggestion is to use Fibrefreaks instead of cotton. I think this thing absorbs the juice faster. Some people say on a leaky tank it leaks if ur used to normal cotton but its working totally fine for me.
Also I cut cotton between the coil and the juice holes a bit to reduce the amount of wick for faster juice flow but not sure if it actually helps.

This. I think that has a lot to do with people having issues and why there's such a wide range of what works for one doesn't work for another. I build my coils/wicking to how my wife and I draw, which I'd consider a normal pull for 2-2.5 secs and I'm running NiFe coils at 38-42 watts. Cigatron on the other hand, builds his for high air flow, 70+ watts, but he draws hard. The way I vape wouldn't work on his build/power setting and his draw wouldn't work on mine. I think this is one area that causes a lot more issues than what is realized.
I run mine at 100w pretty much all the time, when it's on the SXmini I run 60-75w powerful+ that peaks higher and drops to 75.
I have stopped using the airflow rings and just hit it wide open.
I wrap 3mm ID and wick with rayon. Never get anything resembling a dry hit.

I got my horizontal wicking right at last so it doesn't leak and i must say it is better than vertical for me.
The problem was the wick over the coil in vertical which was getting dark and had funny taste after a day of vaping.
Most noticable in sweet flavors.
Feels lime it wicks more easy too,could raise the watts if my mod allowed me to.
Really like this tank.

I seem to get better performance from horizontals too. More flavor.
I don't think my vertical build was as close to the airholes as the horizontal. When I get a spare deck I will try another vertical paying particular attention to coil placement.
Still loving the Aromamizer.

No doubt. But only have had luck with 430 SS for TC mode. Maybe I should revisit 316L or 304 for TC. But so far the best results I have had is with 22G 430 SS. I really need some 26G or 24G 430 SS but cant find it anywhere. My supplier just has 22G and 28G 430 SS.
I do have 26G and 24G 316L and 26G and 24G 304 SS that I should probably try out in TC. The only build I've tried other than the 430 22G SS for TC was with some 28G 316L which was way too thin and delicate for me... didnt work well. But perhaps some 316L in 26 might do well in TC... from what I have read 430 is the king of TC for SS. The other grades are really just good in Wattage Mode. But would be better than 24G Kanthal which is what im back to as I await my supplier to get the 24 and 26G of the 430.
Rayon really shines in the Aromamizer. I had some issues at first but thats because I was still relatively new to wicking with Rayon. Wasn't the Aromamizer's fault, it was me learning this new material and figuring out the right thickness and proper way to trim the tails. After much struggling I have really come to appreciate Rayon. How could anyone not though? Cheapest wicking material that has the best clouds and flavor... win win situation

Best setup for me is with the coils as close to the airholes as possible. It really matters in this tank and in others like it i guess.I seem to get better performance from horizontals too. More flavor.

By close i mean 1-2 mm closer and it would be shorting.
Also i must have been very lucky because with the base screwed to the end the airholes come right over the coils. Black two hole band too,i saw some pink some people got, wtf steam crave?
I do long pulls, 4-10 seconds. The nice part is I can tell if I have my power too high right away, cause the burnt tone to the flavor shows up immediately. If I'm way off though...
I usually don't have problems with my wicking keeping up, but I am using rayon.
For airflow, I'm running all four holes at 45° angles from straight on, but only 1/3 open.
I wick with as much rayon as I can pack through the coil, cut the end off, fluff, then stuff in the wells and pull it back up through the coil until the tails are just touching the deck, cut the tops even with the posts and fluff them too.
Edit: obviously from the process I describe, I'm running verticals now.
Aromamizer X by Trinity Glass For those who love glass
I don't love glass but I hate the drip tip on the aromamizer that looks great.
Here is one method for a clean appearance that I use. Copy and paste from a old posting I made here.
I made a few changes to correct some of what I feel are issues with this tank delivering it's best flavor. The two air holes aimed at the posts cool and dilute the vapor 100% Flavor is richer and vape is denser with the post holes blocked. Vape bands and tape is ugly and vape bands move easily. I thread tapped the two indirect holes aimed at the posts with a 6x32 bottom tap. This tap size is perfect for tapping out a 3mm hole to a6x32 thread. Only tap 3 1/2 turns deep so a 6x32x1/8" stainless set screw has a shoulder to tighten against. I also like lots of airflow so i drilled the two remaining holes out to 3.5mm. this increases air flow area by approx 40% A person could tap all holes to be able to block 3 of them for a single coil too.
Here is is the original posting showing how to sand the base of the coil housing to correct air hole alignment also.
