Got my MAP tank last week and LOVE it. It is the 2.4 ohm version. Ive been using it on my 3.2
3.4 V eGo batteries and am very happy with it except for one thing:
Every time I refill it, I seem to create a wicking problem. I am using 70/30% pg/vg liquid. To illustrate the problem Ill give a timeline below:
1 Received the MAP tank, promptly filled with 3.5 4.0 ml of the 70/30 liquid using a syringe.
2 Over the next several hours I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of the MAP tank. I used it until there was only a very small amount of liquid left in it. I did have to turn it upside down once or twice to use most of the juice.
3 I refilled with the same liquid again using a syringe, about 3.5 4.0 ml (well below the ceramic cup).
4 Tried to enjoy like I did the first tank, but kept getting dry hits (like I remember from the version 2 CE2s). I struggled though about 1 ml of liquid that way and got frustrated so next
5 I removed the top delrin cap, emptied the liquid, removed the tank itself (just leaving the CE2 carto on the lower delrin cap). I then rinsed the carto coil and wick with warm water, dried by hand and dry-burned for a few seconds. I put it all back together and refilled, then I
6 I enjoyed that second tank just as much as the first, I used it until there was only a very small amount of liquid left in it. I did have to turn it upside down once or twice to use most of the juice.
7 - I refilled with the same liquid again using about 3.5 4.0 ml liquid (well below the ceramic cup) but this time I did not use a syringe, This time I removed the upper delrin cap and poured liquid into the tube. I then positioned the white rubber cap onto the ceramic cup properly, replaced the delrin cap and
8 - Tried to enjoy like the first and second tanks, but kept getting dry hits again so I cleaned and dry- burned again (see step 5) and everything was good again just like the first tank full
This happened again on my third refill (I am still on that 3rd refilled tank now).
I am doing something wrong when refilling?
Could it be coincidence that wicking gets lousy every time I refill?
How many time can I clean and dry-burn these cartos before they wear out??
Considering the stellar performance of the MAP tank, I can live with cleaning and dry burning every tank fill (which is once a day for me), but I just like to see if others have had this issue and solved it.
Thanks in advance
