advice regarding cotton wicking

[character]

Good day all just like to ask if anyone got experience of using an unregulated type of mod and has to change the cotton almost everyday due to burned cotton even though the cotton is wet

I follow several tips already
1. vape should be done 20-30 sec rest after vaping( i use vg + water ) with custom flavor
2. follow steamengine for coil wrapping and diameter
3 I am using .9 ohms


i am using 40amp awt red for safety as well

What juice are you vaping? If its a sweet flavour, you're most likely to change out the cotton every day/ every other day, since sweet flavours will gunk up the coil fairly fast.

1: wire gauge is very important

I change cotton every 3 days or so; if I were not so lazy I suppose I would change it every day; then again, changing wick can distort the coil and lead to hotspots; thicker wire helps there, but then that drops ohms.

You know I'm just going to point this out, even though I've done it maybe a good handful of times already. If your coil has high ohms (like around 1 or more something like that,) and your coil heats up slowly and cools down slowly, you may be getting black gunk due to the firing of the device not being able to heat the coil quick enough. Some juice will get trapped in the wicking, turn black, then taste like garbage.

UH, it's not the high OHMs. It the High mass. As built and used most SUBohm coils have more MASS than most 1ohm or higher coils. But otherwise you are onto it. The slower your coil heats and cools the faster it will gunk and dirty the wick... Seems to me it's during the heat-up time and cool down time that most of the gunking is occuring.
