just dont use SS mesh... no shorts with silica/rayon, no hotspots, no dryhits unless you have an empty tank
Why yes, it is open. But it is only about half way, or a little less. I have tried it further open, then the taste goes down too much. I decided to open it up, and take a peek. It wasn't nearly like I thought. There was a little juice in there, but not bad at all. I wiped it out with a paper towel. That is the cool thing about the Aqua, you can see it, if you open it up. Plus you can take off the atty, and look at the wick, and everything, without draining your tank. The spare slot with the screw and extra cotton wick was wet though. So that was holding a lot of juice there. I did not tighten that screw more than barely a nudge. Maybe I should tighten it a hair more. This just takes a little trial and error I think.
P.S. My middle name might be Dyson. LOL. I will know in time.

Did you have the air-flow open?! I can't see how you can draw on it hard enough to flood it if you had the air-flow cranked open, unless your middle name is Dyson.

.............RSST..... no flooding no gurgles easy to rebuild
hmmm I figured it out.... here yall are fussin and frettin over these wonderful new atties yall are buying with all thier issues and here I sit with a wonderfully working RSST no issues whatsoever...
Some of us like challenges. Vaping nirvana gets a little boring day after day.
I haven't had a single challenge with my KFL's in well over 6 months. 6 MONTHS!! Do you know what that does to ones sanity, specially to a "support" personality?!!
So, I entertain myself by adding in something that I'm not familiar with.

I'm doin' the same as you. Watchin' while I keep tokin' on my KFL.
The issues are in the hands of the beholder , I have none , zero , nada ,zip .hmmm I figured it out.... here yall are fussin and frettin over these wonderful new atties yall are buying with all thier issues and here I sit with a wonderfully working RSST no issues whatsoever...
Aqua v2, Lemo, & KFL+ are cleaned and rewicked, and all vaping nicely. Not a problem in the bunch. [emoji1]
Maybe I did not get the real deal. Besides, I am new at this stuff. I have tried to find a pdf user manual for the Aqua2. I was going to change the e juice, I took the tank apart, and noticed the o ring had come half way off, as I unscrewed it. (this might have explained the skipping that I thought was in the plastic threads previously) Well I put the o ring back on, and screwed the air chamber back on. As I did I felt something right as I closed it. It had cut the blasted o ring in half. There is one more in the kit that it came with. I am going to need more o rings. I am afraid to put this one in, for fear of it doing the same thing. Well, that really stinks. On the Kayfun before I changed the o rings, it had two that would slip off sometimes. But I think it is because they were older. Hasn't happened since the new o ring replacement.
This tank has only had 2 different fills in it, this would be the third. I have not seen a diagram yet. (or user manual) If any of you guys have one, please post it, or send it to me via pm. Thank you!

Rose V2's , Aqua V2 , KF 3.1 and Magma , cocked , locked and loaded , all perfect .
Kelly, sorry to say this, but I've never changed a single o-ring on any RDA or RTA that I've owned in the last couple years. I'm really not sure if you're cut out for this stuff with all the troubles you've been having.
There's absolutely no harm in going back to clearomizers. Tear a page from Hula's book, and go with what works for you. Clearomizers have come a LONG way since when I used to buy them, and are comparable to many of todays RTA's.
Just trying to save you some grief.
Still I think that those saying their devices, whatever they are, are perfect with no trouble... are all exaggerations. To say that they no longer have many issues because they've learned how to deal with them... would probably be more accurate.
KFL+ tend to weep out of the AFC screw hole slightly...
Magma's will condensate and leak through the cap threads unless you add an o-ring in the groove just above the threads and they leak through the air holes when dripping in through the drip tips...
Kanger clearo tanks tend to start leaking slightly if you let the juice level get low, draw on them hard instead of slow and long, set them in a hot car... etc...
Sometimes a device just isn't right for one person but is great for another. This is even more evident with the clones which often have QC issues.

I think you did get the real deal but you have taken some giant steps in the past couple of weeks , results will come with experience and patience . You started at a time when clearomisers are relatively trouble free , most of us didn't and dealt with leaking , gurgling picky equipment on a constant basis until we got Kayfuns . Trouble shooting is automatic for most of us . You need to slow down and approach a problem calmly or walk away for awhile like you did before . Give it some time , you'll get there . Youtube is your best bet for info , pictures speak louder than words .
Well Dusty, you may be right. But you underestimate how hard headed I can be. I think you all have messed with this stuff and learned the ins and outs of it. Maybe I have been asking too many questions here, and it is starting to be a drag? I am sorry if that is so. It isn't all shiny photos and perfect clouds for everyone. Many of you may even have friends who can show you stuff in person on this gear. Nobody I know does vaping, or has gone beyond a Nautilus clearomizer. I can go on the bigger hardware thread then. I have watched a ton of You Tube videos on vaping. I have read I don't know how much material on this website too. It may take me a while, but I think I can do it.
Kelly... I've never replaced an O ring to this day, or an insulator. I think you're the kind of person that likes to get in there and look around and really figure out what's going on. Maybe get one thing working well and just leave it alone so you know you always have something that can be used. Even if it gurgles a little.
Good luck. I think you're taking on a lot all at once and I hate to see you frustrated.

True for sure. All my stuff had a learning curve and issues of one kind or another until I became familiar with each one's little idiosyncrasies. I didn't get em all going well all at once, the first time. Beyond getting a decent coil in them, each one needs to be wicked just so. And that was a bit of YouTube and trial and error.
Do you have a setup that works, while you're tinkering with what does not? I never work with something I "need" to vape with. It's why I keep so many spares around.
Please don't misunderstand my suggestion. I'm not underestimating your hard headedness. I'm just stating what I see happening, which is you having issues with devices not working right for you. We're not talking basic wicking, getting it to work right.. but rather hardware related issues, first with the Panzer, then the KFL and now the Aqua. All 3 solid devices that I personally haven't faced issues with in all the time I've spent with them.
What do you have that is currently working for you? Are you keeping that close at hand?

I don't think that is what prompted the comments... at all. I think it's a matter of seeing a fellow vapor having a little trouble and don't want to see it become a negative experience. No one wants to see you get discouraged by anything....
So ask away... I'm not as experienced with all of the devices as some... but I'll pop in when I think it can be of use ( and stay silent if I don't think it will be of much help )
