dealing with the huge tem swings here, - as you well know. lolGood call on the wicking issue. Just for shits and giggles, I'd went with a slightly different build than my "go-to", and it worked fine for about 3 days...then flood, leak, dry hit, dry hit, rinse and repeat. Went back to my "go-to" build right before noon today, and made sure to go outside for extended periods and haven't had a problem yet. If it starts pissin juice into my pocket again, I'll let you know, but I don't think it will.
I found it best to ignore all the "wicking" tutorial crap for everything, and ive stuck with making the wick thick around the coil and thinning it out as it comes down --with everything.
kind of like the erlkoenigin (which I know you didn't like lol)
not so much like that as a model but that general idea if you know what I mean.
I think it keeps juice from flodding the airflow but it still lets it flow free into the wick.
its the only way I was able to get the kf4 to wick max vg without dry hitting or bogging down in tc.
the kf5 I do similar but keep the tails a lttle thicker because of the bigger juice ports and freedom with it the juice flow.
