Looks nice with that one.
That's enough of the bickering and name calling. Any more reports because some of you just can't post according to the rules and the thread gets closed.
As a reminder, this is an open forum. People can post their opinions whether they're positive or negative. Just because someone has a negative opinion of a product does not make them a troll. The responses HAVE been trollish.
So for those of you that prefer the TL;DR version.....
KNOCK IT OFF
Lol!So for those of you that prefer the TL;DR version.....
KNOCK IT OFF
Mine was there when it went into its bath and never reappeared. Even with a fine mesh strainer lol. Mine still pops out sometimes but the juice holds it to the top luckily when it does.Well, well, well, that little effin' O-ring under the top cap has gone missing, despite the care that I took to clean the tank, hence my complete juice dump.As quite a few seemed to have had the same problem, I'm wondering if that ring was missing from the factory. Thankfully, there is an included spare, but I just might need to source a replacement to keep on hand for next time since there is only the one.
Rewicked the Merlin with rayon and didn't thin the tails at all. I suspect the original wick may have been fine once I put the O-ring in place, but I had it open & figured I'd rather be safe then sorry and threw another wick in there. I gotta say it looks nice on my Evic VTC Mini and I don't hate NT's Passion Cake any more.

Kind of how I felt too lol. Had a wtf moment for sure when mine disappeared during cleaning.I thought it was there, too, but now I wonder if I just assumed it was there. If it was, that little bugger made one Hell of a masterful escape! [emoji38]
One side note that I forgot to mention above is that my JFC seems a little too loose for my liking. It doesn't spin freely, but it seems like it would be really easy for it to move inside my pocket or purse. I can see that I will become obsessed with checking it all the time (my Bachelor Nano's JFC has just the right resistance to stay where I set it), so black glass on a black Merlin will be a no-go for me.![]()
The top o-ring is 8mm×1mm.Well, well, well... That little effin' O-ring under the top cap has gone missing, despite the care that I took while cleaning the tank, hence my complete juice dump.As quite a few seemed to have had the same problem, I'm wondering if that ring was missing from the factory in the first place.
Thankfully, there is an included spare, but I just might need to source a replacement or ten to keep on hand for next time since there is only the one spare.

The top o-ring is 8mm×1mm.
Metric Buna O-rings 8 x 1mm Price for 50 pcs
That's where I buy mine and I have a pretty good selection but still like that 8 x 1, I have none (except the ones in the little bag)Just ordered
Only $2.35 for 50. And $3.00 for shipping. Still worth $5 to stop worrying about losing it.

I've already retrieved that ring from the sink once, and had it roll across the kitchen counter twice. It needs a tiny safety lanyard to keep it associated with the tank. That or some superglue in the groove it's supposed to fit in.
I l8ke finding stuff I didn't even know that I had to begin with. Like an extra Bellus. Whoops!It's the only one (thing vape) I ever lost.
Usually I find everything but didn't know just where I lost it.
