All this talk about rabbits almost makes me want to dig mine back out. At least I know where they are now. I have two. I think one is fat and one is dead but not sure without looking.
I do usually have to fuss with Cloudy (Solo) a bit after wicking due to either leaking or slightly dry hits.
There does seem to be a pretty fine line between working great and having some issues.

I don't have near as much experience as most of you folks here though.

Lately I've been getting the best results with a little thinning/fluffing the tails and having them showing in the ports but not touching the bottom. (using cotton)
I know some do it this way all the time, but I thought early on I had good results without doing it like that.

I find it fairly easy to take the deck out even with a half a tank or so to trim the wicks a bit. I plug up the tip with some paper towel just to be safe.

I'm pretty sure I had trimmed the tails back, but it looks like they expanded a bit. Not having any issues with it like this right now.

    Morning all, there have been no more incidents but she still chases her tail and growls loudly like something is wrong - we'll find a good vet soon hopefully and get her checked out.

    44 and windy here, not going outside except when the dog needs to lol.

    Morning, mixers, and happy Sun day.

    At least, that's what they claim ;)

    And maybe mid 40s, almost 10 below normal.

    Dang, all this chatter about leaky tanks... uh, no thanks, I'll stick with my KFL2s and Skylines, both easy to build and no leaks. I do have a variety of others - in the stash. No finicky tanks for me, thank you!

    I am really liking my Waterbloo V1.0 mix that I put in a Serpent last night.
    I tried it in a dripper a while back and thought it had potential and so did the V1.1 & V2.0 mixes, though I have not tried those yet.
    I mixed this tester back in early September!

    Blueberry Extra (TPA) • 2.5%
    Blueberry Wild (TPA) • 1.0%
    Peach Sweet Type (SSA) • 0.75%
    Ultimate Watermelon (Flavor Jungle) • 4.0%

    I also added one drop each of TPA Cotton Candy (EM 10%) and CAP Super Sweet to 10ml.

    I was adding one drop of SS to most of my testers for a bit there coming off commercial juice. (still a "dual user" - commercial/DIY, haha)

    Those KFL's are good for sure. Once you get the hang of wicking they do the job every time.

    I finished writing the second pod review this morning. Now I’m just waiting for the release date so I can insert the promotional images. Time to get off my derrière and get in a workout.

    We’re at 63 right now. Nice day today but going to go back to 30-40 this week. I thought winter was over here but forgot we usually get a March snow.
    They are still talking about more snow here for next Saturday.
