Burning Taste --POLL-- discussion

[surbitonPete]

What do you use as wicking material?

My favourite now of all the things I have tried is the loose roll of coffee filter paper.

I assumed that the smell and the burnt wick material were related? I still have a lot to learn.

I wish we could get some guidance from the manufacturers on how to keep the atomizers working longer. I expect the batteries and cartridges to be expendable but the atomizers should last longer than about one month.

I must say that as long as you are able to get more than 'two weeks' out of an atty then realistically you have had your moneys worth.

I am going to try the coffee filters or tea bags soon. It seems like it might be a good way to go, especially after cleaning or at break-in. Looks like it is easier than trying to fluff and roll the fish filter stuff. Thanks.

Thanks for your input surbitonPete. I guess I may have had too high expectations. I guess my parts have been working as they should have. Now I have to stock up on attys while I can.

Once you get it just right for the cart you are using it works quite well and it's also very easy to keep on repeating it and by making it like a carpet roll it's also basically the same thing as using the straw method in the fluval because by making a roll you get airways to the bottom of the cart in the centre and down the sides of the roll.

Hey Pete - I am sure I will be getting with you to discuss further the exact steps - seems you know exactly how to do it and make it work right. I really want to get away from the cart filler that keeps getting stuck so easily. Many thanks.

Mind you kevin I sure wouldn't complain if I could find a way of making atties last for over a month. It would eliminate a lot of the fear of not having a working atty and ending up poping up the shop to buy some analogues because there is no other way to satisfy my addiction.

i pulled some worn out cart filler today where they would no longer do anything but reservoir juice and replaced it with a coffee filter.

i wound the center of the filter tight to about the thickness of the little pouch that the atomizer makes in a new Joy2 510 cart, and then loose rolled the rest. I slide a q-tip tube along side of it and it is vaping great. no more continual top ups and great taste/vapor. nice dry hit too.

the only burnt i ever got was letting the filler get too dry on top or the filler was so spent that nothing would wick down to the atomizer.

I watched the Fluval re-fill video and noticed when he put the little straw in it (I had never seen a reference to that before). I searched the boards and couldn't find out is the straw for refilling or do you keep it in there all the time to help the filler wick better?
