Very odd. The inside of my cap, near the airhole or not, is exceptionally clean. Have never had to wipe it clean other than when I eliminated the burr around the hole. Perhaps this phenomenon may also be juice related?
Juice related, as in carto killing death juice (original version of Geoffs Blend)?! Very likely!!. It's carbonization for sure. No wicking issues though, the juice is literally bubbling it's way up the wick.
In fact,you should be able to slide up or down a properly mounted coil on the wick,so not tight nor loose...hence the rolling paper trick double duty,add sooth layer and help to properly tighten the coil (doesnt take much);
Here scuba`s tutorial for his stuff,but same principle applies to all genesis Wick for Scubagen - YouTube this vid shows you well what I`m talking about.
The bubbling liquid is probably from a too big center space in the wick but you know what,if it works,enjoy it

That's the risk you take when running nitrous in your hot rod
Still, could be a hot spot contributing to the grunge by burning your juice instead of vapourizing it cleanly. Are you seeing any coils glowing? Any vapour 'jets' shooting sideways off the wick? Might also want to double check that your top nut is properly snugged on the coil. When this gets loose and the coil floats around in that spot all sorts of evil can occur.
Your Geoffs should taste as good as, if not better than any other delivery system you've tried. If you find it's not quite there, something may still be off in your setup. I recall during the early days (DID is my first rebuildable) I went through 3days vaping and thinking 'it's ok but I still don't see what the fuss is about.' I readjusted the coils, tried again and got hammered with the best taste and vapour I'd seen on a particular juice up to that point. Been that way (more or less) ever since. I'm betting you'll be experiencing one of those 'aha!' moments soon. When you achieve this it will become far easier to detect when something is off and how to fix. On that day you will have become a DID Jedi.

Yes, Master Jedi Fuzzi!
There's no coils glowing, but the top two coils do seem to do most of the work of heating the juice.
Feel like a drive? The lovely lady has gone out for the evening, and I'm home with the little monster.

Well I have been using my DID for just a day I think there might some serious hints for beginners like me to avoid bad moments. Here they are:
- Make a "fat" wick. I started with normal one. It was ok but vapor production was not great. Today I used the provided key and rooled one mesh on it. The trick is that you have to be careful to be able to still put it in the whole on DID. To this end you have to roll really tight. The important thing is to keep the inner part nice and tidy - it should look like a tube!
- Pre-heat the whole mesh before rolling. I do not know whether it helps elminate hot spots but surely makes rolling easier.
- Once you are ready with heating the rolled mesh, apply juice and burn it off 3-4 times. Some say it helps keep conductivity away, others say it is good for juice flow. No idea but surely if others do cannot make too much harm...
- Pre-burn the wire - it will make it much easier to work with.
- Dont cut the resistance wire when you are ready! In case you still have serious hot spots which needs to take the mesh out and apply some further heat you do not loose the wire.
- If you have hot spots (the wire between the positive pin and the mesh glows) turn the mesh around, move the wire a bit up or lower it. In most cases it will solve the issue.
- If you still have hot spots apply some juice and burn several times with your device. The hot spot might go away as debris burns on the wire.
- If all seems to be lost, simply take off the wire (if you have not cut it off on the top you can still re-use it), pull out the mesh and give some further heating / cooling to it.
I hope the above might help some!
Edit: One imporant thing with fat wick and wires - in case of a fat wick your wire might sit too close to the brass screews creating nice hot spots. Even if they do not touch them, the juice floating up can create the short. To avoid this, even the wires with your nails the way that they are rather below and above the screews.
Shorts can also happen without hot spot glowing. This can be seen by a serious drop in resistance. For example my ProVari showed 2.2 ohms and then it fell back to 1.6 ohms. The reason was that the juice made contact between the top positive screew and the wire.

Heh, far from a Master but I am indeed learning the ways of the DID. In no small measure, thanks to the many individuals in this thread that share useful knowledge.
Wish I could tonight Dusty, but can't. Soon. My young apprentice

I came to the same conclusions Good advice.

took a few minutes to get my shorty set up. Like I said before, it gets so much easier once you play with it a little bit, don't get frustrated, once you've built your first working setup, it is a breeze.
first wick/coil on the shorty, it's a go!

That's a purdy 3/4. Makes my stuff look all "Adams Family"

Looking quite good to me. Where am I? When DID pictures like this start making me feel something? LOL
@Mr. Mann are you still DID-less? You of all people deserve the pleasure.
P.s. sorry about the pluid zone. that's NOT a friendly place (proverbial tiger's pit...), when in Rome....

hahaha. I was completely baffled by that! Oh well, sometimes threads become clubs, I prefer gatherings.
Yep, I am still DID-less; but it truly is okay. I have more patience than a hospital! LOL. Even after I get it I will take my time and go back through the Index and especially the posts since I made the Index! You all have really stepped up the level of detailed descriptions here. As a matter of fact, I think I will do The Index v2 and add all the deep insight provided over the past couple weeks.

Very nice!
I have to nudge quite a bit to get mine looking even close to that.
You will probably get it around Friday.
