I tried the method that i saw in one of Qorax`videos. I kept the amount of the wick in the coil but i split the other wick in half. Not a single drom or a leak. I think i got it this time.

I have a Q about Artemis, is the black delrin a must or is it optional. Is the mod safe enough without it?
Not a must, but it's safer to use.

I am about to purchase my second Phenomenon Lite. I really like mine very much and have no issues for months. Flavor is great and wicking has no problem with high VG juices. So i need to hear about your opinions about momentous base. Should i purchase the second one with momentous base or standart lite base? I am a MTL vaper so do not need larger AFC. So larger AFC should not affect my selection. @qorax or anybody, would you please compare 2 bases except AFC? There seems to be more space for cotton, would it be good for wicking or has a risk of leaking?

I find no difference in the taste front between my Phen-Lite and Phen-Momentous. Both are equally flavorful. The Momentous works better for me b'coz of the opener airflow. Now b'coz it also has an AFC - you can always fine tune it down to the same draw as that of the Lite.

I had a brief time with the lite and exchanged for the momentous. At full open af, for me the lite was too tight but flavour to spare! The momentous just has more af available through the coil..if you like the draw of the lite, the mom has nothing to offer other than a bit of headroom if you want to open it up a bit!

Got this baby a few days back. Momentous/Phenomenon straight PMMA/Extreme chimney/LL 1 drip tip on top of a V.2 GUS telescopic.

Airy (will have to get used to it).
Needs some fiddling around to get the perfect flavour (directions appreciated). But a nice tank nevertheless. Thanks @qorax for the tips ;)

I think you'll be lucky to find someone with a polished topcap and no fill holes who's looking for one with the holes.... I asked Aiolos for one without the holes and he sent me one with my last order, you may have to go down that route.

I think the Phenom looks really great without the top ring, which I assume is the look you're going for?

Yeap, you're right, just figured "one never knows" I do like the top less look and I got so used to the bottom fill that its no problem for me.

I might contact Aiolos, but its just that I have so many things I dont use... I already have 2 brushed top caps with fill holes I dont use taking up space.

Sorry - I misspoke. I don't have one of these. I have the PMMA with the top ring only. How do you fill this? Do you bottom fill by removing the whole tank?

No, you turn it upside down, push the plastic tank down, so that you can get the tip of the bottle between the tank section and the deck. Fill it up, push the tank up, and that's it.
Q has this in his Momentous review. I have that same setup.

Ive never tried this method, Id like to , but Im scared to waste... Do you close off the AFC when filling it and then open when ready to vape?

There's no need to close anything as the tank is upside down. You basically pull diwn the whole afc with this. As far as I know, this wirks only with the PMMA tanks, because the upper tank opening, in which the chimney oring travels, is long enough.
Watch Qoeax Stan's Momentous review on YT,it's all there.

well you need to close down the juice flow ;)

...and dont do what I did which was take off the DT to clean and then try to push it back in while holding the tank not the base. Really makes a mess when you push the base off the bottom when the right way up and filled with juice...

Mine's on the tightest every time :) you cant shut it off. And there's no need too.

Yes, i had it once too, all came loose while opening it up. Fortunately the tank was almost empty.

Yep. And I don't stuff too much cotton in there, just lay it on the deck, let juice come through. But i don't use very heavy VG juices in this RTA, although it would be capable, if I'd raise the chimney a bit.
