I am not blaming, I am just sharing my experience.
You might need to try your JK Mini with a thick eJuice in order to see what I have mentioned.
IMHO, refilling mechanism is one of the most important factor in judging a tank because if you refill 2 to 3 times a days, you will be engaging that mechanism more than 700-1000 times a year. Luckily, better alternative could always be there in the market...
That is why...
I have bought many top air flow tanks just to try them out even if I know most of them will eventually end up in my cold storage.
I use max vg, it naturally just fills slower. Let's just agree to disagree here, just beating a dead horse now.
Seriously, I really don't mind when you disagree with me since you have opposite experience.
I am now very curious, how come we both are using the same tank, under the same physic rules, think about it why can't I fill my 70% VG eJuice smoothly compare to your max VG eJuice?
May be I should set up again my JK Mini and take a short video on how I fill it. May be then you can point out what have I done wrongly...
Wouldn't it be easier to just try changing it up rather than a video? I fill with the tip angled right or left in the slot, not straight in. I'm telling you just get the glass I linked to.
To those who own an Augvape Intake tank

@Shawn Hoefer
The rubber seal in my Intake is not stick to the top cap, just sit freely between the top of the tank and the top cap:
So, every time I open the top cap for refill, I will find the seal sitting on top of the tank
I suppose the seal should be glued to the top cap...
How about yours?

Mine stays in place, but it is not glued. I'd clean both the cap and the seal thoroughly and reseat.
The seal stays in place on both of mine when I refill. As Shawn said, yours probably needs a good cleaning. If juice gets under the seal, I can see how it might come loose but cleaning, drying, and putting it back in place should fix the problem.
VooPoo Rimfire
This is a 26mm tank (at the base) that swells to 30mm with the bubble glass. It stands roughly 46mm tall, but because of its shape, it seems taller. The drip tip is a Goon style 810.
The deck is a flat postless affair with honeycomb directly under the coils, and slots on the side (I think... I can't get under the deck to check, and see no other reason for those holes to be there).
The screws are sadly placed in the wicking ports. This means that the leads will twist (not really an issue for my thinner fused claptons or round wire), and also that the cotton light snag on the gold-plated flathead screws.
Installing the coils is mostly easy... they drop in easy enough, but with the twisting leads torquing the coil out of position, they'll have to be repositioned...
Repositioning them takes a little work as the deck has ears on either side. These ears interlock with the floating, but nonremovable inner chimney.
That chimney directs air from the top down to a hidden channel under the deck and up through the deck to the coils.
Once coiled, wicking is easy. The wicking channels are more than adequate for the 3mm ID coils worth of cotton with only a little bit of brushing.
Filling is also easy. This RTA uses a quarter-turn lock system like the Zeus line.
Note the markings on top showing how to lock and unlock the glass. It's reverse threaded. This is necessary to allow for juice flow control without unscrewing the tank without unscrewing the entire tank. This is only the second tank (the Exvape Expromizer is the other) that includes JFC. In my opinion, this is gilding the lily and wholly unnecessary on a tank with both top air and top fill.
The VooPoo Rimfire (which I often slip up and call the rimshot, or worse, rimjob) is comparable in performance to the Zeus Dual or the Themis Standard.

I wonder if I would like the JK mini better then the non mini? I wasn't overwhelmed with it and found it took a backseat to the Mizer with a post less deck that I was not overwhelmed with. Has anybody tried both the JK mini and the regular and is there a big difference?
The difference is huge. The Mini is a single coil with quite a bit of air hitting the coil from virtually all angles. The regular is a dual coil with air hitting only from the sides. I'd even say that the mini is less restrictive... fills easier, too.
Interestingly all the JK mini's at FT are single/dual coil configuration but the OG at QP is a single
Have you done the Solomon 2? I apologize if you did. I did a search but it did not come up.

The JK Mini produces only slightly better flavor, but you have to pump more wattage through the coil compared to some other singlecoil atties due to the massive airflow.
The wickingports on both are way too small for 3mm ID coils imo, so you need to thin out your cotton a lot and cut the tails very short for a good vapingexperience.
But when you get it right, the vape is very satisfying on both the Dual and Mini.
I can't second Shawn when it comes to filling though.
The Mini is a real pain to fill, because you have to go extremely slow with high VG liquids or else you will get juice everywhere but not where it belongs.
I never had the same problems with the original dual Juggerknot. Dump in the juice in a slight angle and you're good to go.
Hope everyone had a grand Memorial Day. I, of course, spent the day working... sigh...
After work, though, I placed my order (now that it's down to "ships tomorrow" status) for the Kylin M.

The one I recieved through Fasttech is a single coil, period.
