Simple question from a simple man! Has any one advice as to the filling of a side-fill tank without spillage? Have tried straight from an e-liquid bottle and via a needle-point 'feeder' with the same result - never more than a half-filled tank and a desk-top swimming in a great smelling lake (shout out to 'The Flying Kilt' org.) but inconvenient for the wallet!!

An opinion from another simple man... I do love the tank, but filling it is a right PITA.

I find if you hold the tank horizontally and push a needle bottle tip flush against the hole, sqeezing gently, it seems to get 95% in ok. There is sometimes a bit of minor spillage around the side, but not always.

I tend to use glass droppers which aren't so precise and I haven't been able to come up with a technique to fill it cleanly. At least half spills out around the fill hole.

However I find that I need to rewick it with each fill, as the tank size is so big that the cotton starts to tail off toard the end. So I just pull out one of the juice cables with a pair of tweezers and fill it through that.

I hold it at a 45 degree angle with fill port at top at the most ive had a small drop of liquid around the fill hole. I use plastic tip bottles.

Actually, yea a 45 degree angle is more accurate, not horizontal.

Never had a problem filling either of the ones i had usually held it a angle and filled it nit slowly but fadt enough to fill it up

I didn't have any filling issues with a small nib bottle using 50/50 juice.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but you aren't trying to fill through the airflow hole are you?

Yep, not always a factor in my life but this time, using the right hole! Thanks for trying.
