I remember that SMOK experience well. Nothing has ever dumped juice like that.
Yep, I went a bit mad and after buying a TVF-4, I very quickly bought a few more before settling in with the original one, and then somehow ended up making the same mistake with the TFV-8 when that came out.
The thing is they did seem great, at the time they were quite posh, big range of coils, rebuildable deck option, fine airflow, looked good etc - can't really remember much about them but they seemed very much 'the thing' at the time - but this was back when the Aspire was relatively newish tech.
Having bought into them so heavily I tried many ways to wick them and fill them, lots of research for tips and tricks etc. but nothing seemed to fix their habit of taking a random juice wee over my mods from time to time, even days after last being filled, whether sunny weather or cold, whatever the phase of the moon etc - there just seemed to be no pattern to the leaks or cunning way to build them that stopped it.
I had a couple of them on mods nestling nicely in the cup holder in my car for the horrific commute I used to do and they'd be OK for X days then I'd pick one up and drip juice on my work trousers, grrrr !!!
I got sick of the wastage and cleaning my multiple beloved Releaux RX2/3 mods and mopping up the puddles - I suspect that's what got me into RBAs/dripping and vowed to never own a SMOK product or a bottom-ventilated tank again (which I've since broken, and they all wee... even the super-posh gorgeously designed 3 Aromatizers I have which sit in a box !)
I ended up getting rid of them as a job lot, somewhere on photobucket there's a photo of a tea towel covered in SMOK tanks and loads of coils/decks and asking if anyone wanted them for free if they paid postage ! - can't find the photo now, lost my old login.
