With the OCC heads, I fill or change when the juice starts dropping below the feed holes. Trying the RBA for the first time, how low can the juice go? The holes are at the bottom of the head. Can I let it get that low? Or when the juice drops below where the level the coil sits at inside the head? Just want to know if there's a point where wicking performance suffers and I'm risking burned hits.

Yes, that is one problem I had with the stock heads. The feed holes are just too high up. I found myself tilting it just like my old Vivi Nova's (not fun).

The RBA does not have this problem as the juice channels are on the very bottom of the deck. You can let the juice (in my experience) get below the bottom red o-ring on the glass and still be OK.

Thanks! The juice I have in it now is the last of that flavor, so I'm gonna want to do a tank clean and re-wick. Just wanted to avoid that burned hit. 8-o
