Wow Paul I hope you don't turn on your friends as fast as you turn on your gear! LMAO! Did you want to banish your kids if they had an accident too? Mine has a little dribbling problem when filling but I can overlook it for the job it does for me! Take deep breaths & relax my friend! This too shall pass! ROTFLMFAO!

It is discolored. I don't know if "scorched." I can't see it that well. I haven't gotten up the gumption to pull an RX apart to check the 510. LMK how it works. If you can get a Fat Daddy in it, I want one. BTW, they make the kind you could recess, too
It takes a bit of finagle, actually. I worked on that system for a while. I tried Scottish Roll for the coil wicks, and thinned the tails, last time. That worked OK, too, but I still got bypass flooding on first fill, even with wet wick. This time, I didn't. Nothing but the usual condensation and a drop or two at filling. I'm on the 3rd tank through that wick.I guess it's about time for an overhaul. I've been using the same rayon wick for at least3 weeks and the coil is the original I built when I first got it. I'll try @suprtrkr's wicking method. I'll give it a chance for redemption. I won't be known as unfair

Well, cr*p. I guess I'd better start keeping them on a paper towel, then. I suppose mine are sure to do it sooner or later. But I have to agree, Roxy. If there's any sense anywhere around that, I can't see it.
Mine hadn't done anything out of the ordinary either. Yesterday, it just took a notion to dump as if there was no wicking in there at all. After cleaning up the mess, I refilled again with no real issues, and filled it again this morning with no problems. Beats the heck out of me why it decided to do that. A minor case of possession, I guess!
That's what I'm afraid of. I'll be really ticked if my RX died because of getting flooded. I'm going to try this wicking method and if that still happens, then I'll really give up.
I really think the extra strip down in the juice channel makes a difference. My first few tries at wicking one, I just couldn't get enough wick in it. But put it in the juice channel, it seems to act like a dam or something. The problem with it is, you can get so much wick in it, it will choke at high watts. Once I figured that out, I went from half to quarter rope in the channels and started thinning the tails in the coil wicks.
I will follow what you did. And I'm really liking the rayon in these tanks. Not as much in my drippers. I might have to find some to add to my wick inventory.
Oh, yes, Paul, I forgot: Put the lower tank seal on the base before wicking. And threading the channel strip from one end and dragging it out with a cotton hook-- I use a dental probe as a cotton hook, way better than that $29 POS from UD-- can be done, but it's a PITA. Instead, throw a twist or two in the center of the strip and slide it between the coil and the air tower. Pull the tails back and forth a bit and it will pop down into the channel. Then untwist it and lay it flat.
There have been a couple posts about replacing the 510 in the RX200 thread. @Uncletattoowhat replaced his with a varitube:It is discolored. I don't know if "scorched." I can't see it that well.
