Lannie, how much cotton are you leaving hanging out when you wick it? Or do you cut it flush? And do you sorta stuff the cotton back in the holes after you juice it?

Ah, see, that's the thing. I don't use cotton at all, I use rayon, and maybe these things require cotton. The rayon wicks too good, maybe. I had been cutting the wicks flush, because that's how I do my stock ones when I rewick them, and I made 4mm coils instead of 3.5 for them, on someone else's advice (bigger coils, less open space in the top "corners"), and I've tried stuffing enough rayon in there to choke a horse. So all of mine have 4mm coils now, and SOME of them don't leak, but others do. All I can think is the ones that don't leak are the ones that have a pillow's worth of rayon crammed into them. When there's so much wick stuffed in there, you can't tuck anything inside the edges of the holes, there just isn't any room.

So my next thing that I'm going to try is half as much wick, cut longer, and the tails stuffed back in, evenly around the hole, with special attention to those top "corners." (That's the problem with these, it's the U-shaped wick holes.) If THAT doesn't work, then I'll do the same thing but with cotton instead of rayon. Maybe the fact that cotton swells when it's wet will seal off those corners. Anyway, I'm not done trying to make these work, because I LOVE these tanks and I don't want to have to quit using them when I can no longer get coils, but I need a non-busy day when I can sit and babysit my experiment, and I've been so busy lately, I haven't had the time.

Good to know. If the coils are rebuildable that's an option. I don't have the tank/RBA, but looking at the photo of it reminded my of the third party RBA for Nautilus stuff. I'm really bad at working with those tiny RBAs (as well as rebuilding those little coils) and just accept the fact my factory coil tanks are just that, and my RTAs with enough room that all I need are my reading glasses, instead of a magnifying glass to work on it.

No, these RBAs aren't bad. Like I said up there ^^^ I have 4mm coils in mine. It's a bit tricky getting the one leg in the "L" shaped slot, but once you do it a couple times, it's not that hard. And how often do you actually have to re-coil, anyway? I don't replace coils for months, I just dry burn and re-wick. Now if I could just get the wicking on these damblasted RBAs figured out. I know there's a way, I just haven't found it yet.

Just got back from the Podunk post office. Even took a pic of it for yooze guys. Got there, the lady said I already picked the package up. I told her, NO, I did NOT. She said she remembered because I have an "odd" last name (it's Cajun). She then said, someone else from my house picked it up because she remembered they had the ticket. I told her that was impossible............just me and the dogs live there. Finally, she said: Oh, I remember! I think Yolanda picked it up but she's on break now........GRRRRRRR....................I had her call her on her cell phone to ask her WHERE MY VAPE MAIL WAS!!!!! After a while.........she hung up and went to the back and came out with the package. Yes!!!!

I don't know nuttin about em, just watched a vid that said lower power vapers, (I imagine that to mean below 50 watts), should leave a lil more sticking out. You could have something with the cotton swelling, not sure. Hate that those are a pain. I'm gonna have her practice on hers and also on my merlin when she comes. She can see which she likes best.

It's right here where I left it! ;)

Yay! I hope you've got an extra charged battery laying around for it. That's the only issue with replaceable battery mods, you've got to remember that. Enjoy! I'm actually puffing on my CF4 right now with my newly redecked and non-leaking Squape.

jup but that's what I love about em. Take a batt out, pop a new one in, keep vaping. Plus the fact that when the batts finally wear out you don't have to replace the mod.
