I get condensation / juice into the chamber below the coil on my Tron-S as well. I just figured it was the nature of the beast, and lived with it. I rebuild my CLRs about every 3 days or so. I cheat a little on my cleaning. When I have the coil out, for a rebuild, I leave the tank base sitting up on edge, so that all the liquid in the base, runs down to one side. I cut a thin strip of paper towel that fits in the hole and just stick it inside to soak up the liquid, while I rebuild the coil. It's not a textbook 'cleaning', but buys me some time. I rinse out the base every 4 or 5 rebuilds, and dry it out with an air compressor. I should do that more frequently, but I usually do my coil work in the late evenings / night, and the compressor in the basement makes such a racket that it wakes everyone else up..lol. The paper towel trick helps keep the peace.
I wind my coils on a 6 x 32 machine screw, which is just a tad bigger than 2.5 mm (5 wraps of 30 kanthal). It's wicked with rayon, and the juice control ring is fully open. I'm going to experiment more, with the juice flow ring and see if it helps reduce my condensation / juice build up, too. I've never had a dry hit on a CLR, so maybe I have enough leeway to squeeze the rayon a little.
A little side thought: I've never tried them, but have read about 'flavor wicks' laid over the top of coils. I wonder if that would help burn off some of the unburned juice that might be ending up below the coil?
I might give that a whirl, on my next rebuild.
