Red/Orange Residue left on the bottom of my Cobra

[cardenio]

So I've noticed that after a good amount of vaping the bottom of my Cobra tank has a reddish residue. The top of the liquid is still clear so i've just been trying not to shake it so it doesn't mix... there's no flavor, vapor or enjoyment loss just can't find anyone else saying this is happening to them. Is this normal? I'm hoping it's just a matter of cleaning the wick better (yes, i did oxidize the hell out of it) or hopefully this happens to everyone.

If anyone thinks this is REALLY off or something i can upload pictures of the tank tonight thanks in advance.

I should also mention that this whole residue thing has happened to me two different wicks.

Sounds like typical wick regurgitation. The juice that isn't vaped flows back down the wick and discolors the juice in the tank. Nothing to fear. Its not the prettiest thing in the world but I haven't noticed any difference in taste or vape.

To resolve it, I tighten up the offending wick by rolling it some more, a tight wick doesn't do this.

oh this must be my bad, i've only ever rolled three wicks. Next batch will be tighter, and i think this wick will be fine for its lifespan. A friend of mine who hasn't tried an rba yet thought it was rust coming off the ss wick lol, now i can tell him it's not poisonous

It's normal I usually suck it out with my syringe when I get sick of that ugly color. It's usually less than .5 ml anyways.
