I've yet to top refill mine without the deck flooding in a major way. I take the deck off and use a needle tip bottle for refills and have no issues. Wicks easily and love the flavor I'm getting from it.
Thanks for the info, I can put up with a bottom fill if the vape is great.

Don't think I would be willing to go back to bottom fill. Especially now that top fill has been improved. The first ones all leaked if you didn't hold your mouth just right. Never could remember if I was supposed to squint with my left eye or right eye when I took the cap off.

Thanks, but no.
Ha Ha... It's a major PiTA to build on. They advertise it as a 200W tank but you really need to almost mount the coils over the center post if they have any substance to them. Otherwise they touch the chamber sides or the top of the chimney when you screw it together.

And then it's vape, vape, fill... vape, vape, fill... :lol:

That one came out while I was still watching reviews. Some of them were hilarious seeing the "pros" trying to build it on camera.

From what I've read it's the pressure of the top cap going back on that floods out the deck, probably requires the ole Kafun invert and burp the tank maneuver to stop the flooding. :D

I squint both eyes.:closedeyes:

The Eleaf Invoke. I tested out its TC and as usual, my temps aren't rising much above the mid two hundreds . I have it set on 14 watts ramp up and 360 F limit, but it's not getting anywhere near there (although I guess some reviewers are saying the TC isn't great, and I may need to figure out to download some firmware so it doesn't ask me if it's the same coil every 5 minutes, or whenever I stop vaping it. The tank isn't getting hot, but the TC seems okay, I mainly recommend it because it as among one of the lightest, smallest two battery mods out there.

Full disclosure, according to CC it's the same firmware as the pico and that was found by some reviewers to be widely inaccurate. Although to be fair, I'm pretty sure it's not letting me get to say 700 degrees, because I'd think the ares tank would at least be warm. For my puny needs, it seems to be okay. It's got a great form factor in the hand and it's so small and light without being all rickety and whatnot.

If it's vaping in the 200's then TC is not actually configured or working properly.
