The taste is normal, no burnt taste, vapor is fine, coils running as they should be. I was thinking it was my juice being somewhat dark which has been a Mint Chocolate Chip, 70vg 30pg BUT, why is it just one side??! The only difference in the setup is that side of the cotton is a little more compact against where the cap goes. Maybe not getting as much air flow there??
Dark cotton?

The wicking may be too tight on that side or there may be a hotspot on the coil.
Remove the wicking, pulse and dry burn the coil to make sure it is heating evenly inside to out. Rewick.

Ok thanks, I will re wick later and see. The coils were firing good before I wicked it. Maybe instead of cutting the cotton even on both sides, I will cut it a little shorter on that side since there is not as much room over there to tuck it. It does seem pretty cramped over there.
When they say the wick is too tight. They mean the wick INSIDE the coil not the stuff hanging on the outside. The cotton on the outside might affect air flow and holding capacity, but is not affecting flow THROUGH the coil, unless they are too short. The amount of material INSIDE the coil is what is rally important.
I've been building for 2 years and just learned something new. Reason number 510 I love this forum.

@Vesuvius Is that the side that faces down when you vape on it?? Sweet juices tend to do that. The juice collects on the sides and gets darker as time goes on and it could run down the side of the cap. If you look inside your cap when you take it off and flip it over, you will notice darker juice condensing on it. Hope that helps.
Yes, it does this exactly. Also, it is wicking very well. Nothing has been affected at all. Great vapor, great flavor, great wicking, coils firing good. The juice I am using is 70vg/30pg dark color, so, since nothing is really being affected, I am not really worried about it. It just struck me as odd. I will try rotating the mod to different spots since that side is always down when I Vape.
Yeah, it won't do much except when you change flavor as the older flavor will mix in for a little longer but no harm, no foul. Glad we could figure it out for you. Happy Vaping!!!
After a few days, I believe it was a combination of to much cotton and my juice. Now I have a lot less cotton in it. Just enough to come out of the coil and touch the deck and it seems to wick faster and does not get dark like it was.
