You might need to just keep it somewhat full? I'm wondering if the more juice was causing more pressure on the juice flow into the tank, so your build might have been right for a full tank, but a bit restricted as the tank goes lower? I had to recoil mine when switching from the "short" 2 ml tank to the longer one? I needed to use more wicking to stop seepage.... IDK, it shouldn't make a HUGE difference, but it might be enough to make a difference. The good news on this idea is refilling is easy, and you should know if that's the issue??

Well, I'd imagine through the chimney which, I haven't inspected it closely, but I'd imagine there are small holes somewhere in it but mine's in black and I didn't inspect it very closely... sorry. :) I believe my solution may be unlikely but it may also be worth trying....

    I have mine ordered already, in rainbow (to match my new Pico 25 TC mod...) :) I really love this tank.... I wish they made a smaller version for everyone, but in some ways, I wonder if the shape of the tank contributes in some way to the excellent vape quality...

    The shape of the tank .. NO. The shape of the coil chamber .. absolutely.

    Ill try that Anna. Thank you. I will saturate the wick and then fill the tank and see what' up. Where does the wick get the juice from on this tank? Maybe that hole plugged?
    I don't have this tank....yet, but does it have juice control? If so, is it possible the JC was closed?

    No juice control brewbear.
    That's good to know. Then, is it possible there was a shade too much cotton and once the juice you soaked it with started running out, it became "starved"? Meaning it was still wet (ish) enough to giving you a slightly dry hit.

    This PBusardo review and build might help you get familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the Beserker.


    Thanks Dave...Great vid...The more builds I see the better and darned but he does do good reviews...Plus his explanation of some of the little things is so valuable for someone like me who has yet to build a coil...:)

    Now if Singapore Post & FT can speed up my Siren 2...I can get on with the trial & error sessions :lol:...Trig

    There are no spaces . The cotton was fluffed and cut and trimmed. The cotton was pulled back and forth in the coil for a nice fit. I just find it weird it was running fine till about a little above half full of juoce . Then the wick just seemed to just dry out.
    My Goblin mini used to do the same thing. I ran TC so the vape just went cool though. It would be great for a day, then would require further trimming of the wick to keep running well. It's like the cotton continued to swell with use. Eventually I got to where I would initially trim the wick to the point where I was sure it would leak. Most of the time it didn't, and I didn't have to retrim the next day.

    Here's a picture of the deck (thanks MVS). You can see the juice wells and the holes where the juice feeds the wells. I don't have a beserker, but my Kayfun experience would have me trimming the wick to where it almost hits the bottom of the well, and thinning so it's not tight within the well. This is probably what you're doing already.

    Very much so. I watched Phil's video; I love Phil but he never trims, fluffs up, or otherwise finesses his tails. :D He just shoves them in. Works for him, somehow. :lol: I like my butterfly or bow tie-builds--high and bulky shoulders (to prevent gaping near the coil) and trimmed ends that just brush the deck/juice channels.

    once they're pulled off the market there won't be any new ones available. those who didn't stock up will be singing the blues.

    How does one even ENFORCE such things, and are e-liquids going to be childproof too, or is it all going to be closed pod systems.

    I don't get how governments are getting so invested in vaping, but I guess it means we are winners, LOL, in the sense that we really are taking over market share. It's a shame that governments are desperately trying to push forward measures that really don't help anyone. I mean, cigarette packs are totally easy to get into by an infant OR a pet (I know, my son's dog is addicted to cigarettes, actually, she and I get along great) and yet, vaping is getting all this heat. It's like they are DESPERATELY trying to find something "wrong" with vaping in order to be able to tax and regulate it, and the results are going to be just the weirdest thing ever.

    Not to mention the fact that I don't know a single adult (personally) who doesn't keep their vape stuff away from kids, regardless. My infant and toddler SURELY did not get into my cigarettes, and I keep all my vape stuff stored in my walk-in closet in case any parents come over. It's really demeaning, the more I think about it, and I'm sorry, if you are dumb enough to somehow allow your child access to vast amounts of e-liquid in some fashion, yes, I feel sorry for you, but I get a bit Darwinist about it.

    Keeping e-cigs away from small children is not exactly HARD. And it has to be a pretty extreme situation for that child to actually be harmed. Sigh. La vie.

    Yes. Slowly drier and drier.

    I have very fond memories of the Goblin Mini. I LOVED that atty. I used it till I wore out the threads of the two piece chimney

    My Goblin mini used to do the same thing. I ran TC so the vape just went cool though. It would be great for a day, then would require further trimming of the wick to keep running well. It's like the cotton continued to swell with use. Eventually I got to where I would initially trim the wick to the point where I was sure it would leak.

    Not having the tank this would be speculation on my part, but maybe the wick was too thick in the well? I've had that experience before, try thinning the tails a bit. Of course, the next tank I used I thinned the tails and that thing leaked like there was no tomorrow. I guess it takes a bit of fiddling until you get the right combination.
