Hello guys, I own an authentic Fev4.5s+ and I have a little problem here. Like in these photos, after finishing one tank a little bit liquid accumulates. How can I fix this? Thanks!
Using SS430 27ga wire, 2.5mm

Don't use that topper, but...

Might just be condensation. If so, maybe you inadvertently do a slight exhale while the tip is still close, so some air goes back down?

Do you use metal drip tips? I find they increase the condensation, versus say plastic or nylon ones. And long tips even more so.

Gonna switch to 2x0.8mm air pins. What do you mean by topper; bellcap? Thanks for answer.

Hola,
Topper = any device on Top of your battery device. Rba,rta,rbta,sub-ohm tank, et al.

How long have you been building on the FEV?
Is this a new problem?
What is the vg/pg ratio of your liquid?
Often, a half second of additional inhalation after releasing the fire button can help to clear the tank of residual vapor, reducing potential condensation within the unit.

Cheers

I changed direction of wicks and issue is solved mostly. VG/PG is 60/40-70/30
