You already have the KylinMini right? OBS Crius 2 is a good one. GeekVape Zeus is also good. Another one that is reportedly good but slipped thru the cracks is the FogWorx Slider. Of course the OBS Engine Nano is at the top of my personal list, hard to find one now. One of the single coil Ammit rtas is pretty good from what I've read.
Did I tell you about KingPin's review page? Can't link it, ECF and VU don't play well together.Yep, and it is leaking like a little .... no matter how I wick it.
I didn't really agree with how He was wicking the Kylin Mini
From what I could see there was way to little cotton in there
Here's mine, stuffed to the max! No leaking here
Try it like this before you give up on the Kylin Mini
The Digiflavor Themis is a nice top airflow RTA. Both mesh and dual coil models can use a single coil. I have the mesh version and so far it’s been pretty nice. It can use a single coil also and one guy said he was having good luck making ribbon coils for the mesh Themis. It’s big flat clamps fit nice with ribbon. I have yet to try it but as soon as I get some ribbon wire I’m gonna.
@Heartsdelight found a good wicking technique with hers too.I didn't really agree with how He was wicking the Kylin Mini

I've been trying your route and it does seem to make it better. I think there might be something wrong with my glass. I'm going to order an official replacement and see if that's wrong. My glass doesn't seem to be covering the seal entirely. So maybe there's hope for the Mini yet.I didn't really agree with how He was wicking the Kylin Mini

In kinpin’s review & wick guide he noticed & took pics of the glass apparently if you look closely the top & bottom are different. Try flipping the glass & see if that helps before ordering.I've been trying your route and it does seem to make it better. I think there might be something wrong with my glass.

If there is some kind of vacuum leak? A bad o-ring or a hair line crack in the glass?
This will also cause leaking
With my "more cotton method" You need to be careful that the cotton don't obstruct the bottom o-ring. I saturate my cotton real good & tuck it in just above the O-ring.
You mite want to try the other Glass? It came with 2? one straight & one bubble?
I use the bubble

I ordered an official replacement glass and will check out the difference between the top and bottom when it arrives. I hope it fixes the problem, because I'm tired of sticky hands.
