Great pic, very helpful. My tails might be too unruly. I'm going back in to give 'em a tuck!

Washed my merlin, re-wired and wicked it and had a massive leak after all this talk.... figured I messed up the wicks, opened it to drain the juice so I could re-wick it and found that stupid center/small o-ring stuck in one of the juice fill slots nearly all the way down in the tank. Grabbed it out and placed it properly, refilled the tank and all is good again. It must have stuck to the top cover when filling it and fell off as I was putting the cap on.

vaping like a champ now with this 0.21 ohm single coil hive wire.

That's strange it fell all the way down there. Mine is in pieces in the sink right now soaking. I am getting ready to rebuild it. Not sure what kind of coil I want to do this time.

So I am a little upset now. I just cleaned the tank and was putting it back together and I heard this crack sound. I wasn't putting the tank on any tighter than I did before. So I started to look to see what it was and I found this.

The film that makes the smoked glass look is on the outside and it started to crack or peel off. Not sure why they couldn't have just made the actual glass darker when they made it.

I kept the tails loose and fluffy. Pushed them down and it does appear that they are covering the JF holes. Maybe I need to shorten the tails more?

I never completely cover the juice holes. I have the tails right at the top of the juice holes. No leaks, no dry hits ever. I don't think there is any one right way.

This seems to have solved it for me. I shortened the tails so they went about half way down the juice holes and thinned/tapered my tails more. I am still trying to get used to Rayon wicks. Luckily I had only recently started building RTA's so it won't take me long to forget what I learned for cotton wicks.

If I don't have my juice holes totally covered, they will leak out the air holes.

This is how I do it. Little in the cup, the rest on top of the cup and on the deck.

Differences in juice viscosity. 100%pg is thin.

I was suspicious of that o-ring right from the start. Mine came off, too, when I first took it apart.

Will augvape warranty replace a tank that has the smoked coating peeling off?

I usually don't buy anything but ss however, my tank is secondhand and black. I also noticed the coating coming off of the glass. When inspecting the o-rings and threads, I also noticed the black finish coming off of the threads on the bottom, where the deck screws in. If I get a new glass tank it's going to be clear so I can see what's going on in there. When my wick darkens I strain to see the JFC holes. To me, that's an unnecessary inconvenience. Not to mention trying to see black o-rings on a black finish. What is this finish, anyway? Lol, hope I'm not vaping it!
