thanks Tim. Looks like someone resurrected your older post - but it's a good subject. I've been curious for a few weeks on debridging - it's come up a few times and I never quite got why people are doing it.
thanks for the reply.
Hey Kat, I have been de-bridging/ wicking my atties for a long while.
To explain why and how it came about I will give a brief explanation of the cause/effect.
I had just started
vaping, I was using a stock 510 with carts and had not managed to quit analogs at all and had a hatred for dripping. I tried dripping but found it had a sick flavor and drippers puzzled me. After I used my atties for the first few months, I noticed they had a disgusting and overwhelming burned flavor.
The burned flavor made the 510 un-vapeable and I actually put it up on a shelf and went back to just smoking for a few weeks.
Then, I found phee's video on de-wicking/ bridging a standard 510 atty and a few changes took place.
Since there was no more bridge or wick, I couldn't use carts and I had to drip a few drops in the atty and test vape it. The moment I did, the burned flavor was almost completely gone and the vapor was warmer, more flavorful and thicker. This made me go "0.0!! WOW!" and I finally understood what the big deal was with
vaping. Essentially I believe doing this to an atty lowers the resistance of the atty slightly and cools the vapor less on it's path to your lips.
Now I am a dedicated dripper (who would have thought it) and had no issues quitting once I knew how to prep the atties. This technique was what kept me
vaping in times of impending doom (which feels like years ago now) and even de-bridging itself seems rather old school unless you are having problems with your juice wicking into the atty since the Cisco's came out.
