Hi all... Been a silent reader all these time and decided to join and contribute to the community...
Grab a Merlin a couple of weeks back. Like the flavour so far, but not so much about leak and seepage. Sometimes it's just a little bit other times is a lot worse. And keep reading a lot of what others do to fix their problem.
I got a new Merlin I think, since my JFC is not circle, and wondering why I got this problem when it suppose to be not. So a couple of days back I tinkering with the wicking which I think had cured my leaking/seepage problems. So hopefully it can cure some member who still got the same problem with their Merlin.
So here's what I did (the picture is what my merlin looks like after a couple of refills)
I make sure my wick is stay clear from touching the deck with Airflow, I marked it with the red arrow above.
and for the wick on the
juice channel, I just gently pushed it up the top circle part until I can see the
juice hole got no wick left and check back the wick again on the center to make sure it still not touching the deck with Airflow, and make adjustment if they do touching.
and after 2-3 refill I noticed the wick is coming down half circle.
So far its great, I even try to refill without closing the JFC and no leaking.
I don't know if this will work for some of you who got these problems, but hopefully it does.
