Removing the wick

[phee]

just thought i'd post a quick video on how to remove the wick out of your atty. some find it creates the burnt taste but personally it solves the problem for me and not only gets rid of the burnt taste but the atty performs better.

this is something really just for drippers i dont think that it'll help cartridge users.

Good video, phee. I've found this do be a big improvement to the stock 510 atty's. And as you said, it's best to do this when they're new. If they're used, usually, some will fuse and get left behind. Then all we can do is suffer 'til the last is burned out . Again, good video .

yeah, if you can get a super small pair of needle-nose tweezers you can work out some of the fused-burnt/melted threads but you risk damaging that coil =P

Please... EMPHASIZE.... this is for DRIPPERS ONLY!

Cartridge users will most likely not be happy with the results!

Added bold and separated caution to make it more noticeable. If this was done by cart user the atty would probably render itself unusable unless dripping.

On another note....I had a friend do this and he loves it! Think he did it on a 801 but not sure.

I am a cart user and have done this on a few of my attys. They perform great and I will probable do it to any new ones that I get. I few that I removed were burnt on the ends, and I noticed a big difference after removal.

This burned out tea kettle taste is a cryin' shame, I have two newish BE112's that work great apart from this burnt problem.

So are you all saying this is the fiberglass wick causing the burnt taste, and not the coil, I've reached down with tweezers and pulled the wick out, but the bad taste is still there.

This is cool. Thanks for the vid. I just looked in the atty I have on my Copper. I've been dripping on it lately, but I notice it doesn't have any treads. I can see the coil. I guess I already smoked the threads.
