Morning fugee's!
Ever consider that squonking might not be for you Andria? I see how frustrated you said you was. I have a few squonk setups and I use them occasionally but to be honest, they are not for me either. Too much of a pain in the ass for my vape style plus I feel I get a far better vape from my tank setups. Still I will sqounk here and there just because I can
At this point, I'm considering maybe modifying my Magmas still further (beyond those blunt needles added to the airholes), because adding those needles, while it improved the draw a GREAT deal, didn't do much for the leaking problems -- it *helped* but didn't eliminate the leaking. I was thinking that if I could squonk into them, rather than having the well slap full, that might help even more, and might also remove *some* of the problems with having to keep that atomizer fully vertical at all times, if the well isn't full of ejuice.
The Magma's design is really kind of brilliant for squonking; it's got a well, which can be squonked into, yet the deck is suspended above that, so it still benefits from bottom airflow, just beneath the coil, which is always my preference. Something that Cromwell said last night, about how side airflow is never going to suit me, put me onto this train of thought.
I was also considering that some of those teeny tiny o-rings that fit on Kayfun fill screws, added to those blunt needles, to ride right against the deck, might help the leaking problems still further. I've got a whole bagful of those lil buggers, which I ordered from McMaster-Carr back when I was doing all-kayfun-all-the-time.
So I'm basically re-designing the Magma, as I go -- I added a very thin 22mm o-ring under the AFC ring, to keep it in position when I remove the cap; added those blunt needles to the airholes in an attempt to eliminate leaking -- which only reduced it, not eliminated it, BUT, it did give it a much tighter draw, which is all to the good; adding those tiny o-rings to those needles might go further to eliminating the leaking. Now, with the mods I want to make to it for squonking... I might actually end up with a great atomizer!
