I just picked this tank up for my gf and even though I’m not all about the rta’s I really like this tank. So far you have some good advice here. You’re going to want the cotton “snug” in the coil, tight enough not to be loose but you still want it to be able to “expand” to hold juice.

I have a Zeus x although I haven’t used it as much as the other Zeus I have. I do not test my atties for leaking by turning them upside down though. Some might be able to handle it. All should not leak right side up, or tipped somewhat for a short time.

I can comment. First of all, I admire your dedication to figuring this out. Some RTA users prefer to whine endlessly about their problems; you sat down and wicked yours 20 times in a row.
