Yes they can be an annoyance to build and wick, that deck was designed for silica which made it much easier to build. I only ever used Rayon in mine, I couldn't go back to Silica.I never could get the rose v2s to perform right for me... I really wanted to love it as it's a beautiful Atty..only got dry hits and meh flavor when not..sure it was my build/wick but it was a pain to work with so I let it go
I have 2 that I used as daily drivers for the longest time. As I moved onto airier RTAs the Roses saw less and less service. Hopefully the new Rose will have more airflow.
