Vapor lock? Maybe.

I've been building rdas for a while, I had a rta but I never really liked it. I never could sell so I figured I'd give another try. I've been vaping today but the weirdest thing is happening. It won't wick unless I unscrew the top of it and let some air in it. I remembered reading something about vapor lock, but I had never experienced it, obviously because I use rdas only. So is this vapor lock, or do I just have a little bit to much cotton? It's the mikes vapes blaze rta. This has never happened before. Usually if I've gotten to little cotton it floods and if I've got to much it still wicks, just to slow to keep up. I noticed I didn't see any bubbles and I usually do. As so soon as I open top cap a couple giant bubble coming up from the bottom and it's wicked again lol

First glance, at the deck, maybe try like you said, less cotton, maybe thinned, and I'd try not letting the bottom of the wicks hit the bottom of the wicking ports - the slots look like they're almost down and under.

I have had several builds do this. It's been the wicking, in every one of mine. Too much cotton.

Alright awesome yea think that's what it was I rewicked and when I pulled the cotton out I noticed it was to long, like it was folded underneath laying on the bottom of the deck

Yea I think I had it too long and to thick, I used straight cotton instead of pads less of it and shorter thanks
