For a few months i was really enjoying the Hussar, and now for some reason i just can't wick it to save my life!, may put it away for a while, this must be a mental thing more than anything, doing EVERYTHING the way i use to I've re wicked about 5 times this past hour trying to nail it, cut back pieces of wick you name it I've tried it all.... just can't reach that intense flavour/throat hit I'm used to.....

The same thing happened to me a few month ago. I rewikced my Kayfuns twice a week (instead of usual twice a month) and it seems nothing was right. Finally I figured out that I started to use too little of cotton. Too skinny wicks to work properly. Some type of temporary idiocy, I have to admit.

Yeah, that's happened to me too. Suddenly for no reason you can't get something to work right. My theory is that when you start using a tank you really concentrate on what you're doing and figure out what the tank needs. When it becomes easy you stop concentrating and get sloppy. The tank has to rap your knuckles once in a while to get your attention.

Had that problem. Don't know how it happened. Don't even know how I fixed it. Just know one week my wicks were great. Then they weren't. Then they were again.

I'm a man, and I can change, if I have to, I guess.
I think I'm that in to perfecting it I just try to hard lol, thankfully I have a couple other great flavour tanks so I'm gunna run them for a few weeks then come back to the Hussar

Could it be the temperature? One of my favorite RTAs acts up in the 2 to 3 months of higher temps in the summer. It drives me nuts and I get tempted to sell them. I put them away, tried it when the temp went down and perfect as always.

It happens with my KFL's too. They are perfect in the warmer temps and when it get colder I get problems with not being able to get the right amount of wick and drives me nuts.

The temp changes the viscosity of the liquid, so you might have to make adjustments to accommodate.

Dont give up too soon. Take a rest, clear your mind.... Ive let myself get frustrated and have sellers remorse way too often.

but yeah you're right it could be the temperature, I just wicked it and it came out nearly perfect flavour-wise so that'll have to do for the time being, I never give up bud
