Looks delicious, apart from the onion string garnish.

Love me a double blonde.
Happy belated thanksgiving everyone. Where has 2018 gone?
I've now worked out why the vaping market encourages folks to buy new gear. What should be a simple swap out has a major domino effect.
Installed the fatboy tank and put a pair of 8T 26 AWG 3.5mm SS coils with a view to testing out temperature control later on. I have got into the habit of blowing gently to equalise the coil temperature before a decent DTL hit. Big mistake. Sprayed boiling hot ejuice over my shirt and my right nipple still hasn't recovered. Eventually managed to get the spitting angry coil to bed down, and set my mod up for temperature control.
By the time I had fiddled around with the wattage and temperature settings, I was getting a really superb vape, just the right temperature and texture but the flavour is a bit dull. I was also running low on juice, and went to unscrew the cap to refill. Mistake no 2. The drip tip and the top ring started to unscrew the inner chimney, and before I realised my error I had dumped a good few mil of juice all over my mod via the air vents at the bottom of the tank.
Many sheets of kitchen roll later, I re-assembled the tank making sure the deck was screwed in just a bit more than figer tight. Refilled, and came to the conclusion that TC is the way to go. A really consistent vape that tastes the same every hit. In power mode, some lungfuls are divine, some a bit on the rough side.
I had others thing to do, so I left the mod for a couple of hours and came back to large puddle of juice and a very sticky mod. Did a complete tank clean, rebuilt with a pair of twisted pair 6T 26 AWG 3.5mm SS coils. Mistake no 3. Really harsh, and after playing with the settings for 10 minutes and letting the cotton bed in, I couldn't get anywhere near as smooth a vape as with the single coils. Rebuilt the deck with the original coils, and am blowing clouds like a demented 1950's train on 50% airflow, something I couldn't do with the commercial Cleito 120 coil. Boy is this tank thirsty though, if it carries on with it's incontinence problems I might rewick it single coil with a 4mm. I should just be able to squeeze it in.
As I was typing this up, I noticed the mouse was rather sticky, so it looks like I'm in leak purgatory at the moment. Or maybe I blew when I should have sucked. I really hope this isn't going to become a regular habit, I can see me getting a bit paranoid, I don't want my mod to die of drowning ...
Got some more shiny stuff coming soon. Managed to snag a real bargain, don't have enough spare cash for the Topside yet, but I will be squonking before the week is out.

Sure a good idea to check if all orings are still there after dicking around with the thing a few times.
Your leaking issue is either a vacuum issue from bad o-rings or the more likely culprit.......wicking.
Slumming it huh?![]()
Cleaned and rewicked. Thought this pic looked cool.
