I dont think it is wrong per se, but I think he was thinking of something like an RDTA, like the Avocado, as feeding the wicks from the bottom. The juice holding tanks on those RDTA are below the coils where the tanks on the RTA are tyipcally above and around the coils and wicks.
@TerryL1@Lexie3 I started out with the old V1, and I will show you my LOW tech, STUPID simple setup that I use to this day, and get ridiculous flavor. It’s just too damned simple IMO. Don’t over complicate it with crazy coils, wack wicks, just go old school…
I picked up 5 of these from my wholesale account at Vapor World for a steal on the reputation of the velocity deck. However their was a bad gasket that was flattened on the bottom and it leaked like a seive. It was replaced but I could not resolve the leaking. I don’t have enough free time to do more than change wicking and inspect more gaskets that don’t seem related. Read the manufacturers FAQ on known leaking resolutions but nothing gives!
Ideas? I want this to work so I can use larger coil builds that don’t fit the TFV4.
@craigtalley You are talking about the original Steam Crave v1 ? If so I have about 8 of them floating around, and have never experienced any gasket issues on them. I still have my original gaskets on my first one to this day. I’ve not heard of any gasket issues as of yet. Which gasket was leaking ?
Just a bit and I’ll photo them with my magnifier app. It would be great to get them in service as the OP and others have shared the many great attributes on this thread and other threads here.
Read something about overtightening on the Supreme, but I’m running multiples of those as well, and tighten them up pretty good on original o-rings, and haven’t have any issues, beyond dropping and breaking the glass.
That’s the post! The boxes I bought of V1s have likely been in the warehouse for a long time before being clearance priced. That was the only part (lower gasket) that was scrunched. Could still be the wicking?
@Lexie3
There might of been some confusion that I was being contradictory of the RDTA or hijacking with insult. I am highly interested in the merits of the Aromizer and your post rekindled my desire to renew attempts to get it working I apologise in any case.
Hey Im not confused at all. Besides we all have out opinions and they do not always match, so it would be ok regardless.
I just wanted to post my thoughts since so many helped me make decisions on tanks and thought they would like to know, that i love it
Can’t derail this thread, its just general info and all info is a help.
People can love or hate them. I love them, hehe, and I’d rather see if we can figure out what is going on with the ones you have, so we can make it like the ones we have !!!
@craigtalley VERY interesting, none of mine look like that, will take pics tomorrow. With that gasket like that, I COULD see juice wicking past that and weeping. I’ll figure this out.
