Disappointed with long wick clearos

[Mroutlaw]

Anyone else having problems with the longer wick clearos over wicking and flooding the battery?
I ordered them when they came out, but just started using the, since I still had some short wick ones. Every time I use it, the battery gets loaded with juice after a few vapes. I blow through it, get it dry and then vape. After hits, same problem. I knew its not condensation since I continue to vape after letting go of the button. Plus, I took it off, sat it on the counter and then had juice under it after sitting. It's not overfilled either, I only fill to about the 1.3-1.4 line

I had the same problem, so I trimmed the wicks down as close to the length of the old style as I could. Works much better, no more flooding. I'm going to trim the other new one I have before I use it.

How do you get to the wicks to trim them???!

It ain't easy! lol

I removed the plug and used a pair of embroidery scissors. They didn't do a very neat job, something 'skinnier' would be better. If anyone knows of a better 'tool' to use I hope they let us know.

I haven't experienced this at all... we can always go back to the short wick ones....

I've become pretty knowledgable with things, because I research all of it, but maybe I'm missing something. Am I doing something wrong? The only juice I ever had on my battery before was from condensation or filling down the middle by accident. Should I try putting less in, maybe only to the 1.4 mark?

I actually like the short wick ones for a different reason. The long wick clearos, not just si's seem to extract certain flavors first and leave other stuff behind. When I get to the last 1/2ml or so, the juice tastes very different and has a different color. Especially if it is a multi flavored one like fruitty stripes. Doesn't seem to happen with simple juices like SI mint or even my DIY banana

Mine aren't leaking into the battery any more than the short wicked ones did...... and I was able to vape it down to dry without any dry hits. I'm preferring the longer wicks.

I have only tried 2 and it does it with both. I am trying to extend my short wick ones, but they are ready to be replaced because vapor production is not as high as it used to be. They are over a month old and I use 2-3ml a day in them
