hi guys,
my Uwell Crown was performing nicely until the last week or so. good flavor, no real leaks, coils (1.2 ohm) were holding up for at least 1 week, etc. etc. -- all the good things you hear about this tank.
I cleaned the tank out to change flavors, re-assembled everything properly, and went about my day. later on in that day, I noticed there was a very tiny o-ring on my kitchen counter near where I had cleaned my tank. I disassembled my tank again and tried to pinpoint where exactly this may have come from, but I could not find anything. I chalked it up to it being an o-ring perhaps from older hardware, or unrelated to me completely.
however, ever since then, my Crown has been producing sufficient vapor but little to no flavor. note also that there is no leaking occurring, either.
could this tiny, rogue o-ring (if it is related) have created such chaos that it destroyed the vacuum in my tank? am I doomed until I buy a new tank?
TLDR: Crown performed well. noticed small, misplaced o-ring but unsure if it was even a part of my tank at all. coils produce no flavor.
any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

- I have re-washed and re-assembled the tank a few times.
- I have looked through review videos on youtube, where they show a close-up of the tank. all of my o-rings matched the ones displayed in the videos - none appeared to be missing
- I have tried the 1.2 ohm and 0.5 coils.
- I repeated the steps shown in everyone's favorite wicking video:
- I have even resorted to sticking a sewing needle through the coils to see if it was a matter of insufficient wicking.
