e juice seaping up mesh wick when filling

[sonnyflo]

Hello everyone
Im new to the forum and ive been analog free for 4 months now. This may have been covered already but I cant find the thread, anyway, I recently purchased my first genesis style rba, ( a zatty clone) the device is great, build quality is solid , getting the hang of putting together a nice wick and coil without the hotspots...so far at least... but my one problem that is just killing me is when I go to fill or add more juice to my tank through the fill hole, e juice keeps seaping up from the wick and the fill hole itself under the sirrenge im using. It ends up taking me 5 to 10 minutes to fill my 3ml tank because im having to do it a drop at a time pretty much! I hate it! it only does this when im filling not while vapping , thankfully!!
does anyone know what I can do to prevent this?

Your problem is that as your putting juice in, air has no way to get out. To fix this:

- once you expose the fill hole, take a q-tip or paper towel and clear any juice that may be making a partial seal around your needle tip when filling.

-make sure you do not cover the entirety of the fill hole when filling.

When you're filling, keep the needle tip off to the side, and don't just jam it in there. The air needs a clean place to get out, otherwise it's going to take the path of least resistance, and push juice out via the wick or any other juice you have in the area of the fill hole.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

thank you for the reply, yeah I was just figuring the fill hole was clogged as I was trying to fill , ive even sucked some juice out of the hole with the needle before filling, ill try the q tip as well. I think this fill hole is just a tad smaller than the zen, being that its a clone, so I will keep at it, the device is producing the best vapor and flavor ive experienced thus far.
