Vivi nova - juice build up below drip tip, and above tank - anyone else?

[JuniorNA]

Hey all, i'm going to post a pic in a second, but do you guys get juice build up below the drip tip, but above the tank in your VIVI ?
i'm getting juice collection in the slims and reg sizes and it's quite annoying. i try to keep my PV standing up (zmax) but on the occasion that i do late it flat, juice always collects in the little cup where the tip resides.

I have the atomizer head on it (the rubber cap) and i used the unmodified cap to test (i usually cut a little piece out above the wicks on each side for better wicking). I thought maybe that was the cause at first, but then i tested 2 VIVI's with stock heads and stock silicone caps and i'm getting the same results

Anyone else? It's not really a big deal, but if left alone on its side for a few hours, my very first vape after that will be a mouth full of juice which is pretty nasty. I find myself taking the tip out and putting a napkin in the hole for a second to suck up the juice.

is this normal behavior?

There is no juice in the cup now but imagine that thing filled up with juice

not sure if all vivi novas have this but I got mine from Got Vapes. Inside the drip tip there is a rubber grommet take that out and place it in the hole in the top cap but don't push it in all of the way. that helped mine.

Mines would do that from time to time. I never got any juice in my mouth though. I'd just pull the drip tip off from time to time & get it out.

yea i have that rubber grommet - it goes on top of the atty. I still get the leakage though

this is the grommet I was talking about. just in case we were talking about different things

yea i have the same thing, but mine doesnt look like that !
it doesnt come up that high

that's the piece I took out of the supplied drip tip not the one that has the piece of metal in it
