Tarr Mk2 Burnt Wick

Need some help with why is the wick burnt? Now the cotton in the system is soaked with oil, so what is going on? thanks for the help.

What are you using for oil? What are you using for the board? Mine get dark like that after a while not a big deal. The wick is against the very hot resistor to make the smoke so it will blacken over time...

The Taigen stock oil and board and isn't the wick supposed to draw up the from the cotton?

Yes, so when you put it back together make sure the cotton is folded around the wick. IMHO Get rid of that stock crap oil and get yourself some MegaSteam to run in the TARR. You will find it a lot better...

I used to sell both but with the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to Canadian it makes no sense when you can go direct. But here is a video for you...
