Fibers in 510 atty

[Rhetoric Camel]

From what I've read and understand in the bridge of the atty are little fibers that wick up the fluid. Correct? Well I noticed the more you use the atty they start to get longer and fall onto the part of the atty that turns red hot when the button is pressed causing them to burn and add a horrible taste to the vape in addition to giving a slight headache from burning fibers.

Anyone know of a way to keep these from possibly getting longer to the point where I have to grab my tweezers and pull the long (roughly quarter inch-ish) fiber out of the bridge? I'm going to lose all my wicking fiber. Will it still work without the wicks if I end up losing them all due to getting long?

Is this from a lack of cleaning and letting dry out? I pretty much always have a cart attached to it with liquid in it and have not rinsed the atty once in the 2 weeks I've had it. My other atty crapped the bed when I cleaned it so it has me paranoid until I get my new one in the mail.

yeah I never cleaned the atty in my 4081 for the month I used it and I used it all day everyday. Never saw any fibers in that one though. Just weird about them pretty much falling out.

I also now seem like I'm getting a little less vapor now that I pulled a couple of them out...

[Rhetoric Camel]

so no one knows anything about the importance of these and if my atty will stop working correctly or why they're falling out? I figured someone would know something....

LOL you should really consider a shower every once in a while, if not for you, but the people around you hahahah sorry made me laugh...


anyways.. that is odd they are just falling out... they look pretty stuck in there on my 901.. even though I know they are different. Maybe it's a faulty atty? Has it happened to others?

once a month..............whether I need it or not

the wick is already in contact with the coil so dont remove it. the taste is more likely loose poly from the cart or scorching when the cart gets to dry. make sure to top off this model often till you get the feel of when it is drying on ya.

My other atty died after I attempted to clean it after 3 days of use, so I've been using this one for a longer time and haven't cleaned it. So I don't know if it happens with any other attys.

The little wicks in a new atty aren't hanging off of the bridge of the atty onto the part of the atty that heats up and now they are getting really long and just laying on it and I can taste them burning no matter how much juice I put in there.

the thing is that the coil is wraped around the wick. you cant get more contact than that. but if you look at the filler in the cart you may see a point where it singeing. its also possible that the bridge is off center and comming into contact with the cart itself. i've read that you can gently put back into position with tweezers if thats so.
