Erlkonigin clone + condensate

[marmik]

Hi, I'm new here,
Got the %subj% just a week ago (my first rebuildable), but it is already starting to annoy..
If Erl sits unused(even all night) its all clean and dry.
But if I start to use it, even after 5 min of usage, between bottom and AFC ring, e-juice condensate starts to collect.
As for now, i'm cleaning after every two usages..
but thats not supposed to be so?
what could cause it?

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

I've asked the Moderators to move this thread so it will get more visability.

Condensation is a by product that all atomizer produce. All my tanks (which I've been using for almost a year) will condensate from the air hole over time. My Kayfun Lite will even produce some from the small airflow screws under the deck. I have the Erlkonigin and because of where the air intake is... it's the most noticeable and builds up on the mod very quick. Kayfuns the residual vape comes back out the air holes and evaporates into the environment for the most part, but some still collects under the deck. My new Lemo... it builds up in bottom deck portion.

It all depends where the air holes are and the airflow control location. But condemnation is normal. when you are producing lots of vapor.

So as I understand the only way is to wipe and wipe... Or get the tank with different airflow, like kayfun style.
Now it's more clear. Because I was thinking that as Erl air intake is right below coil, the coil makes that mess, by sprinkling juice all over the chamber.. and gravity makes its job. And was almost looking for a way to add some filter.

It's just how it works. Compared to emptying an ash tray.. I rather wipe condensation. As you vape,the extra you don't suck from the chimney will look to settle to the bottom and out of the air holes. Vapor is denser then air and settles to the bottom of any device. RDA don't have this problem because their airholes are almost always on the side. Kayfuns don't experience it as bad because of the side air holes and it sits flush on the device... but it still collects a little. I like my Erl, but I still prefer my Kayfuns and the Lemo is quickly gaining favor.
