I was worried about that as well but I looked at the main board and there's a thread about how the atomiser works with a picture and diagramme showing the composition. It seems that the metal mesh you can see down the end of the atomiser is a sort of sponge that is in front of the actual heater coil/wicking packing (hope you know what I mean by that). As I understand it, the metal sponge holds the juice and delivers it to the heater coil. The luice in the sponge also contributes to the vapour production.

If I've any of this wrong, I hope that someone will correct me.

That's right as far as I know, but the fibres will burn when they touch the metal mesh and that can't be healthy!

It's not healthy if the fibres touch the mesh. I had a burned acrid awful taste on my draw yesterday and when I looked down the atomiser I found 2 strands of fibre on the mesh. Removed them & thank heavens things tasted loads better from then on.

The polyester filling (filling) must touch the steel wool for the transfer of liquid to be made. Its when this steel wool is dry or fibers get stuck to the sides/underneath when you have smoldering issues.

Hey Steve,

After taking a second look I see that you do indeed, have 18. It's under the special blend.
I'll stick with the 14 and see how it is. If I go too high, my head might explode.

And there was I pushing the fibres back into the cartridge to prevent the dreaded burn. Thanks Cashmere for putting me right on this one and explaining it.

The wire mesh arch is covering a fiber core, which acts as a wick, absorbing the liquid from the cartridge via contact. The arch is NOT the heating coil, and does not get hot enough to vaporize the liquid, let alone burn or melt the cartridge filler. The heating coil itself is lower, in the center of a small "pot" inside the atomizer, and never contacts the cartridge.

No problem. I actually have 18mg in both Standard and Premium. High for both is 18mg
