Wicking iJoy Reaper RBA Deck

[Treeburner1983]

My fiancée recently picked up the iJoy Reaper tank and the dual coil rba deck for it. I built the tank with vertical titanium coils, but can't figure out how to wick this thing! It's got holes in the side like the updated subtank rba deck, but has a dual Veritas-style deck ideal for vertical coils. I tried wicking with the bottom stretched across the bottom of the deck and the top fanned out to cover the holes in the side from the inside of the chimney, but it ended up leaking like crazy.

Any suggestions on how to wick this tank? I'm in the doghouse until I get this wicked properly.

Thanks,
Treeburner

Guys, I suggest to stay away from Ijoy Reaper Plus. Some genius in Chana, decided that Positive post does not need to be threaded and just snapped it on the positive pin semi-loosely. As a result, I don't think it is even safe to use it. Please, forgive me my first animation.

Other dimensions comparing to Crius.

I, of course, will redo this ugly design, when I'll get a chance. But for now, I refuse even to put a build in it.

This deck doesn't look like the picture above - I will post a picture later, but it's a tall center post then two short negative posts, with about a centimeter of vertical space between the positive and negative holes. Should I try wicking the coil then pull the cotton through the side of the chimney and cut and fluff it, lime rebuilding a subtank coil? Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Treeburner

After a half-... attempt to use the coils that came with the RBA, much to my surprise it seems to be working very well. It hits great and has not leaked any. (yet) I left the top long and shoved the top on and cleared the cotton out of the center hole. Dual vertical coils 0.47 Ohm's

Once you put the cover over that build, are the two holes in the sides of the lower chimney blocked by the cotton? Looks like there's nothing to stop the flow of juice there.

Also, when refilling do you need to do the whole flip as you close, open airholes, then flip back thing?

The holes on the sides of the lower chimney are not blocked, they are wide open, I had my doubts too. It has only been an hour or so but no leaking yet.(using 50/50 juice) I did not flip to refill but it might not be a bad Idea.

Update

After about 24 hours it started to leak. When I pulled the coil and removed the top cap I noticed the bottom part of the wicks were darker than the top, so I decided to trim the bottom part of the wick. I trimmed it so it is just touching the deck.

Have you had any luck Treeburner?

Actually I followed your suggestion and the tank is working and hasn't leaked a drop. Unfortunately the matching iJoy Solo Mini was DOA, so waiting for RMA to sort out through VapeNW.
