I used to burp mine until someone in this thread mentioned poking the juice holes after priming the cotton, then no burping

(The four little holes below the coils is wht I'm talking about, poking something tiny to move cotton away from the holes so VG can flow in more easily)
I built mine as did with original and no issues here

pulled the wick through top to bottom, fluffed up then pulled back into place

leaving tail just sitting gently on juice holes

No, I mean the one labeled "Supreme Lite". 23mm version of Supreme.

Now Chase for Flavor! - Steam Crave, Aromamizer, Squonk


I’ve had the Supreme and have the Supreme Lite, aside from size they’re the same.

The Supreme is 25mm in diameter, has 7ml juice capacity and a 16.5mm build deck.

The Supreme Lite is 23mm in diameter, has 5ml juice capacity and a 14.3mm build deck.
The Lite also comes with a smaller 2ml capacity tank if you want to go really small.

I don’t need the extra 2ml capacity or the larger deck so I kept the Lite but the deck isn’t huge so if you’re into larger builds or need the extra juice capacity go with the Supreme. Both are juice hogs but awesome vapes.

I haven't tried Rayon with a vertical build, it'd be a huge pain to wick that way since the rayon needs to be really tight in the coils. For horizontal builds in the Supreme though, rayon's given me the best results.

Thank you for reminding me that it's more difficult to wick vertical builds! Would be huge pain yes! Used 28awg, and it was difficult enough with cotton. When you use rayon for horizontal builds, do you stuff a lot over the juice holes also, so it doesn't leak? Read that with rayon one should trim out much of the end of the wicks, but maybe it works fine without doing that?

I find that I don't need to trim nearly as much as I thought based on what I read.

Get it as tight as possible through the coils without warping them. I usually hold the coil with one hand and pull the rayon with the other. For 3mm ID I hold the tails downward and cut beneath the o-ring on the outside of the deck, basically at the very bottom of the deck itself. Then cut about half, maybe a little less, from the tails diagonally starting at the top. Tuck it enough that air can get under the coils, but don't press too hard.

For 2.5mm ID I do basically the same thing but without thinning the tails at all. Just snip 'em under the o-ring and tuck.

A random tip, I find that positioning the coils fairly low in the deck helps with whistling.

You may get better results if you play around with it a little bit, but this is what works for me. This is all based on 70/30 VG juice by the way, so adjust accordingly.

Anyone know where I can find some locator pins for the Supreme Lite. I haven't taken mine completely apart in a while so when I did earlier today I forgot about being careful with the tiny pins and lost them.
I tried the Steam Crave website and the parts bag they list doesn't specify it includes the pins.

Thanks Mowgli, I emailed Steam Crave but haven't got a response yet, didn't know they had a chat, I'll give that and the FB Group a try.

I was able to find 1 of the 2 I lost yesterday so it's useable now but I'm being extra careful with it until I can locate more and use 2 like it was intended.
