It felt so odd to be using such a short wick on the Hussar after being used to the much longer Siren wicks.
Have you had a dry hit with the Hussar? I didn't, but I wasn't able to use it much before I lost my insulator.

It's Great! I run mine in TC, I have a Ti coil @.24 right between the posts, real low over the biggest air flow hole it comes with. The Air flow is real smooth, mine has not leaked one drop since I'v been using it.
The flavour is Excellent! I would recommend it to any one
It's right up there with the Rose V3, Square X Dream, K-F V5 & the Hurricane V2 
No dry hit at all, but if you packing the cotton slot full, the taste its kinda dry which I dont like it. Pls check my photo that I found the best and moisture wick setup. The end wick tail just sit there to cover the juice channel. And I let the space on right and left empty.
Had my hussar a week now, and has been great, good flavor, no dry hits and no leaking, well did leak a little when laid on it's side in my car, but that has been the only time.
The only thing I don't like is the fill port, wish it was a bit bigger, find hard to fill with dropper bottle, ended up with a mess when tried last time, so taken to syringe for filling, but otherwise, big thumbs up from me

Thanks Nailz! I'm glad you like it. I can't wait to get mine up and running again!
Nope, no dry hits at all with the Hussar. That might be it JW, I'm so used to using all that wicking in my Siren's that when I'm wicking my Hussar I feel like I am not putting enough in there, by a long shot. It might be a mental thing till I get used to wicking the Hussar for a while.
rifky, I too just lay my 3mm wicking on top of the juice holes, not in them, so I do as you do. I don't lay my Hussar on it's side at any time, I don't do that with any of my Atomizers in fact, they all sit up straight unless I tip it to take a hit.

I know it's early but how is the coating on everyone's positive post holding up? Not sure why they needed to do a coating when original is SS. Also, im curious what's underneath, brass or SS. It probably being overly cautious but I don't like anything other than SS on my deck which is the only thing keeping me from buying. I was hoping SXK or someone else would release a full SS version.
Got mine on ijust2 , Hussar rta (CV) version single coil deck

I just got my 2nd Coppervape Hussar from FT, and it too had (2) poly tanks as well as the metal tank.
I'm really liking this Coppervape Hussar more and more as time goes along. Even with the 2mm center air tube, I can get a real good "Tight" MTL experience, no leaks, drips, and even better, no juice seepage from around the air flow control ring. I will be getting the 1.3mm center air flow tube when I get my replacement CC from my bank though, just to make it an even better RTA. JW turned me onto this thread, and I can't thank her enough.
Edit: Anyone else notice just how easy this Hussar is on juice ?? I can get 5.8ml of juice into mine and it will last me longer than that same amount does in my Lemo V1, ErlK, Taifun GT-2 and several other RTA's that I have (at the same settings, of course). I cannot find one fault in this RTA at all, though, I do wish that they would come out with a Black one.

It is a real good RTA
The fill hole is a bit small, I find I can easily spill some juice if I'm not real careful with my dropper bottle. They should have included the other top cap, drip tip options aren't that great with the included one.
But thats all, it has few faults
The 510 cap arrived today so now doing the first proper test.
Since I don`t "do" juice flow control, the fact it doesn`t really work on this isn`t a problem - I just leave it stuck on open.
(I did change o-rings but still weirdly tight and awkward)
So test #1: does it flood when filling & replacing the cap with JFC open ?
Edit: It didn`t at first, but another full fill and it came out everywhere - so must look into this.
My wick could be to blame here - I wasn`t all that careful when building.
I use a 14g needle for faster filling - so no problems on that front either (I can see how a fat nozzle may cause problems)
Easy to build & wick - must try to remember what length to cut the wicks as they`re pretty short for this.
(I always forget even on things I use daily)
No uneccessary faffing about contorting wick tails here, there and everywhere, into holes or other odd stuff like that. Quick and painless.
Test #2: passed - wick & coiling without undue mental stress.
I went for the larger tank over the mini and decided on the larger airtube too between the 3 - closing the AFC off to make it suitable.
No whistling and the overall airpath isn`t cavernous, making an acceptable MTL type airflow. (surely so with the tighter tubes)
I would like an internmediate sized airtube - and may still still drill out the smaller one if I can be bothered after swearing off vape DIY forever
It won`t win any beauty awards but have seen worse.
The long term test for leaking & seeping (especially when chain vaping) now starts....
First impressions are good, nothing so annoying that made me want to smash it against the wall immediately.

Why does the JFC not work for you?
It works fine for me, nice small twist
I could never understand this not liking JFC, It's an interical part of a good top filling atty!
The chamber must be isolated when the Cap is removed, The vacuum gets affected & will cause a leak or chamber flooding if it's wicked Correctly.
If your top filling with an open JFC & it's not leaking your wicking is Wrong!
I was confounded for a minute - it turns out I had tightened the inner top cap section too tight.
I have always been able to successfully top fill atomisers previously that didn`t have JFC so find it an uneccessary extra step now.
Just personal preference for simplifying steps rather than any technical reason.....as I don`t close of AF control either.
The top fill system must be done properly of course, not a harebrained design that forces juice into the system uneccessarily when closing.
One wick was too short earlier so not surprising it flooded - must take more care checking the length.

If I leave my AFC and/or JFC open I will flood my Hussar, every time. Ask me how I know. It was one of those "Oops" days for me. If those 2 Controls are closed when I fill, I'm Good to Go.
If those 2 Controls are closed when I fill, I'm Good to Go. ^ Interesting, it must be a quirk with this specific design.
I suspect those multiple juice inlet holes might have something to do with it.
I`m not even sure if all my o-rings are in place - should there be one on the base, just above the AFC ring ?
I see a recess but no o-ring there.
Edit: I just checked back through this thread and saw there should be, there wasn`t here so I added one.
Didn`t even occur to me all the time I was looking and building it.

It does come with a spares package of (9) o-rings, so missing one is easy to do, especially when new to the device. I even had to take an emery board and bevel the inside of the air flow ring air slots, just to keep those sharp edges from cutting my (2) o-rings in two when I put it back together from US washing. The o-rings that come on it are not the best o-rings I have ever seen also.
I was editing again when you "Liked" my post Fad. I am a slow thinker and typer. Sorry about that.
OK, I saw it....and noticed the sharp edges as well.
One other thing I noticed is that the o-ring on the lower part of the removable deck section isn`t up to much.
When I unscrew one of the wire screws the whole deck starts to unscrew !
I put that deck in there as tight as I could manage without resorting to tools, so I think I`ll change that one out as well.
