Juice dropping when I'm not looking! (¬_¬)

Hi, hope I'm posting this in the right sub forum. So I recently started vaping on an iJust2 mod with an Aromamizer RDTA tank. What I noticed is that when I'm vaping the quantity in the tank rarely drops. I'm keeping track to roughly estimate how long it takes to finish a bottle. But a few times now I've realized when I lay it down after vaping and leave it for a long while there's a noticeable drop when I pick it up again. Am I just seeing things!? Is there a reason this is happening?

If there is also a noticeable leak then it's not wicked correctly, if not then yes you are just seeing things.

You never know but I made sure to check a few times just to make sure i no crazy.

Maybe it might be that you are vaping a good bit, then set it down, and it wicks up the extra juice it needs now that it has time to? :huh:
I was thinking along the same lines. It does eat up quite a bit though, does that mean it's just on the wick (that's the cotton right?) and not wasted?

Also can I ask one more thing? I'm using a transparent juice and yesterday when it was maybe 5% of the juice left, it turned orange O_O. Is that bad? The top part of the single vertical coil is black which my friend said is normal and the color on the rest of the cotton isn't very obvious.

Maybe I'm using it when you're not looking.
joking, I'd say @celticluvr is right on the money.
Ask me before using :mad:

As long as no juice is leaking anywhere than its just wicking up a lot of juice.

The juice changing color is normal, its perfectly fine. If the flavor drops off or gets a burnt taste then rinse your tank out and change the coil or rewick if you rebuild. If the last bit of juice in my tank gets too dark, I'll rinse the coil/atomizer off and rinse out the tank and refill with fresh juice... I'm just weird that way though. :)

Awesome! Thanks for the info. In very new at this and I haven't learnt to recoil and stuff yet so I'll just rinse and rejuice. Thanks again!

Another +1 for celticluvr's suggestion. I've noticed in my rta after taking a few hits a moment later some bubbles begin to rise. Probably a matter of vaping what's in the wick and it doesn't wick instantly so when you lay it down it's probably absorbing within a few minutes. Also I've noticed if I lay my tank down for awhile and pick it up, some of the juice is still along the top and sides and if I watch it for a minute I can see the level rise a little from the residual on the sides slowly dripping back down.

If it's not spilling out anyplace then it has to be in the tank or wick. Aka not spilling onto the mod, your hands, down the outside of the tank, into the 510 connection etc.
