Nope. Not that one. It had a raised lip on the edge so that pooled juice won't go to the top cap thread.

Oh I didn't know that. I thought it was excess unpuffed vapor left in the chamber that condensed back into juice.

Coil/wick setup not right in what way?

Excess condensation can occur if your coil is still producing after you stop drawing. However IMO it is not enough power getting to the supplied liquid.

A- over wicking/flooding.
B- drained batteries.
C- coil resistance too high.


Usually C. ;-)

Lol. I'm glad you like it man. Contact Kathy at bedazzle here on ecf. She has tanks for you. The size you need for that one is 20mm I measured it before. $10 she charges. And contact emonty here on ecf as well he helped me out on vaporwall.
So is 22mm the stock size? I would like the air hole to line up better than this one.

Since there are two holes for a wick on the orion, if one hole has been over shot you can aim for the next one by wet sanding the tank down.

Kathy only has the 20-21mm in stock. The 18 and 19 she made me was custom and cost extra, fyi.
So how did the 18 + 19 work out for you?

The 18 is to short. The top of the tank just misses the top oring.

The 19 was hitting between the two wick holes. I wet sanded it until I had it lines up with the first wick hole clockwise, which happened to be the one I had been using any how. I'd say the tank is somewhere around 18.75mm +/- after sanding it. I couldn't sand it anymore, I would be cutting it to close to having the top oring not seal on the tank.

i think so too.. when i try to fire it without a wick it glows evenly, so i was thinking the same thing, but i have pre-oxidize the mesh 3 times, each time soaking into water, and 3 times with my juice. I have done this before but today i'm not able to do it. i am using a new mesh i ordered from ebay. it's a 400 mesh.

Check your wick with a multimeter. It should read 1 when putting both probes on the wick at different spots.
