thanks to the miracle of modern electronics we can do this without exploding

Holy hell. My face hurts.

This is usually caused by wicking not keeping up with your wattage, make sure your wicks are not getting choked where they push through the deck also try alittle less wick.

VG can combust in the right conditions, I doubt its done you any harm but its best to try and avoid it happening too often.

No harm, just a singed moustache. Im gonna re-wick it a little better and drop the wattage.

It surely has changed over the years...years back there was so many threads about coil and wicking issues , because if you wanted a tank, you had no choice but to do your own coils. Now with probably 99 percent of new vapors starting out with drop in coils, there's not so much anymore....it's certainly nice to have a drop in coil tank running good while one messes with rebuilding, at least if you are having a hard time, you have a good tank with no problems. ..yep, most likely to much cotton somewhere and possibly to much power... .

I started out sharing a minor success and ened up vaping my upper lip, lol. No harm, no foul. But i do, most certainly, appreciate all the feedback from everbody. And that hilarious video made my day. Thanks everybody.

30 watts and its working just fine. I overpowered it at 75w. Learn from experience, i guess. Vape on

I watched tons of videos on any atomizer before I even attempted

Wet wick cannot catch fire.

I have concluded that the wick itself didnt burn, it wasnt even charred. The VG hit a critical temperature due to excessive wattage and combusted. I did not imagine the yellow flame shooting out of the drip tip. I even pulled the cap off and tried it again to see firsthand what happened. Again, i produced a yellow flame that surrounded the coils and wicks. And for the record, the wicks were fairly well saturated.

I get flame when I dry-burn coils that start out wet. Looks like you were just using way too much power.

Yep. Dropped the watts and all good now. But what a surprise, huh?
