How to minimize condensation in a RDA?

[wetclay]

Donno if it's only me, but this half cooked juice condensing on top caps then finding its' way back to the wick bothers me. I feel it affects taste and speeds gunk buildup. Any tips to reduce it? Any attys (or atty characteristics to look for) that are less prone to condensation?

Condensation inside the top cap is inevitable. I suppose a more direct path from coil to drip tip might minimise it a little.
I'm also not sure that condensed juice is 'half cooked'.

It's only you. That's a frivolous thing to fret about.

I suppose it is

I found RDAs with more of a domed shape inside the top cap reduces this effect slightly, but it can't be eliminated. This effect isn't limited to RDAs either, it happens with all atomizers. Anytime vapor is made you will get condensation building up on the walls of the chamber that the coil is housed inside.

I live just outside of Houston near the water,,, humidity is always high out here but I don't have any of the window issues you guys are talking about,,, so I thought what is possibly dif about me,,, the only thing I can come up with is when I get in my car I cool it down with the a/c. Then I turn the a/c down to low,,, if I'm cold I run the heater on high almost the whole time I am driving,, I just change the vent choices to floor or window or split them.

I wash the windows about once a month with vinegar or windex

If your atty is as big as it sounds, these must be your coils lol.
