Somehow I had same exp. For my vaping knowledge and from the sight, the skyline have a better juice hole than husar and its mean more good handle high vg juice and avoid the dryhit. The varian airdisk too promising the more align airflow for lenght coil. The chamber which very small on top I believe mean for increase flavor. But... Yes I feel hussar have a better flavor. Maybe my build is wrong or someting I dont know.... And I have some experience when I fully tightened the chamber full it seem there is a something wrong with the flat surface so it a little made a juice flow control very tight to turn around (i assume a little miss threading). When you move a chamber a little turn opened direction the juice flow control became smooth like a butter. Anybody have some exp like me? Or pls show me your build because I am digging this RTA with very couriousity lol.
Skyline SXK no tight Jfc build quality look the same as Coppervapes
One diffrence i did notice at bottom of chamber theres lines
Ie threads go a lot higher past the JFC
Thats the only visable diffrence everything else looks same ,

Even my authentic Taifun mini

^^^ Agreed
I don't open my juice flow as much as most of the one's seen in the pictures posted here, I think it over saturates the wicks and that why you getting seepage back into the tanks. It's nothing more than the juice caramelizing on the wick/coils and leaching back into the tank. When I load flavorless in a tank I get no discoloration.
I'm with benley73 on this, it happens on quite a few of my other tanks, my Tengu is a great tank, outstanding flavor and I get leaching in that tank. I don't find that it effects the flavor at all.

On the juice discoloration issue, I wasn't having this problem until I started using my Churro juice from TBD liquids. Then, within the first few draws I would see dark colored juice entering the tank. Watched this video:
Was skeptical of the wicking method. But, man, if it didn't solve the problem. Worth a shot for others with same issue.

Maybe it is just me, but that much cotton stuffed in front of the juice holes would surely give me dry hits.
Making sure no cotton is resting on the PEEK disc is a good tip. Solved the small amount of leakage I used to see on the airflow ring sometimes 
No the juicewell on the Skyline is very deep. It is more like an rda in that sense. I tried it with mine and it works fine. I think it might produce better flavor when wicked that way. I never had the leaking problem others complain about. I did have the issue with dark liquid appearing and after wicking this way have not had that issue...yet.
I wicked mine early this morning based on the video that godfatherI posted and so far my results are the same as Chodi
I used my standard build 24ga at .43ohms and it's vaping like a champ. Since I don't use a disk I had to make sure that the airflow didn't have any wick overlapping.
No seepage and no leaking. I just topped off the tank to see if I would get any blow back of dark liquid in the tank.

What mod is that in your photo and where did you get it? Looks like maybe an Apollo V4 but I can't really tell. I can't find the Apollo anywhere.I wicked mine early this morning based on the video that godfatherI posted and so far my results are the same as Chodi

I finally am able to report back here that I have my Coppervape SkyLine and have run about 7 tank fulls thru it. With the glass tank that came with it I have no leaks, drips and very little condensate collecting anywhere. I changed out the o-ring for the JFC straight away. Am running mine with the smallest Air Disk out of the 8-pack extra that I bought from FT, 1.06Ω 6 wrap 2.5mm coil, 28g NiCr and 9 watts in power mode with KGD as wicking. I too notice a somewhat muted flavor, but very similar to my Lemo V1's flavor, so not bad at all, just not as Clear and Sharply defined a flavor as my DF Siren or CV Hussar. Juice flow back or darkening, YES, but I have no problem with that, as many others have already stated previously, It's an Non-Issue with me.
The only problems I have had was when I put the bubble tank on it, it leaked straight away. I took the Cleito Bubble tank off and measured the inside circumference to find that the Cleito tank was out of round by more than 10 thousands (.010) or 2.5mm, the bubble tank was just cut oblong instead of round, on both tube ends and would not seal properly enough to even get a good vacuum going, and refilling it was a disaster. I have a second Cleito tank I have not tried yet but will in the future.
I'm in the habit with most of my RTA's that have a JFC of closing the air flow, tipping the whole tank upside down then closing the JFC control, Filling the tank, tipping the tank upside upside down and when the small air bubble raises to the top (bottom) opening the JFC then the air flow control, tipping the tank right side up and screwing the tank back onto my mod. I get no gurgling or flooding at all, but that is just my habit of filling RTA's that have a JFC especially.
I really like my SkyLine and use it daily, along with my Siren, Hussar, and Toyota.

Good to hear that it wasn't a fluke. This wicking is really not intuitive. But, been through 5 tanks and no discoloration. Just changed the wicks as churro is a gunker. Hope to get the same results the second time around.

Just like most of the tanks we use godfather we just needed to find the sweet spot and you put us on a good path.
52anddone, I hope the second one works. I just picked up two from sweet vapes today so I hope mine are round.

Some thoughts about the JFC on this tank again: if you open up the JFC, you increase the volume inside the tank a little bit and thus the bubbles. After some 10 or so fillings i get no flooding at all while opening the JFC. If anything, you could get flooding while closing the JFC because then the volume inside the tank decreases and juice could be forced into the chanmber. But as there is usually only little liquid left in the tank while closing the JFC for filling, it's no problem. So the whole vacuum thing is a non issue.
Think of a filled syringe and now pull a little bit on the piston. Air is sucked into the syringe. Thats what happens if you open the JFC.

That's also where I got my Bubble tanks from Marc. Hope you have better luck than I did.
I forgot to put in my post above that I use PG 80/20 and have my JFC half (½) open. I get NO flooding at all.
I am not quite buying that. I get flooding when opening JFC (not when closing) and it is pretty consistent. The reason I think is this:
(If image not showing: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet )
As you open the JFC the air between the inner chamber cap and the bell gets compressed and forced into the tank. This increases the volume in the tank. If you take off the base with the JFC closed, hold the tank upside down and open the JFC, you'll clearly see gurgling and bubbles happening at the edge of the inner chamber.
As for most (?) of you not getting flooding when opening the JFC I can't explain that. Maybe it has something to do with how often you open the JFC, the thickness of wick or something else related to how you use it in practice.
It would be very interesting if someone could repeat my experiment opening/closing the JFC 4-5 times in a row with the tank upright to see if you get flooding then. For me I sure did.
Personally I've come to terms with having to hold the tank upside down when opening the JFC (not only after filling). That is a doable workaround, but a major caveat and design fault IMHO.
