Comparisons between wicks, and a coil heat question.

[MJTP]

For everyone here, we all know that Clearomizers come in two wicking styles. One with a single think wick with 'sections' that are sort of twisted around each other. The other style is the one where about 5 or 6 much thinner and individually woven wicks are wrapped in the coil. Has anyone here reported any sort of better wicking between the two types.

Another is that with the science of a candle wick, the flame pulls the oil into the wick by suction created by the combustion. Would there stand to be any reason why the coils in our wicks should heat up to a very specific temperature in order to possibly creation that same time of suction in juice? These wicks simply just don't wick well on their own time, and I'm wondering if my coil temperatures may just be too low or too high.

Huh? What?

After I read several times, I'm still confuse what on earth is a candle wick???

Wicking has absolutely nothing to do with heat. Wicking occurs via capillary action.

Only if you burn the candle at both ends. Especially on a Vision Spinner dual ended atomizer center button system like you have. You never know which end is burning hotter than the other, and you can't vape both ends at the same time, except if you buy the Better Vape Adjustable Vape Tube which connects both ends to a central drip tip merger system. EVEN THEN you can't adjust the hotness of the coil for your dual burning candle wick mod.

Fill a balloon with water. Hold a lit candle under the filled balloon. It will not burst. The water keeps the temperature down. Same goes for a wet wick and a coil.

Not sure what you're asking but as far as wicking goes, PBrusardo did a wicking test in one of his videos some times ago. here's a link to it. Watch it & maybe you can find the answer to your question: A PBusardo Video - Vertical Wicking and Juice Transfer - YouTube

edit: also, since you're a straight VG juice user I encourage you to watch other videos of his as there are many that have a lot of advice, suggestion, etc., for vapers using straight VG juice.

Poor wicking can be because the juice is too thick - maybe try a BCC like a T3S or Evod (or Aro, or Davide or...)

Or because you're chain vaping, and it just can't keep up - slow down

Or because the juice level is getting low - tilt and swirl the device until you refill.

It's capillary action on top coils, not suction.

And some juices just gunk the coils and wicks faster than others, so maybe it's just time to clean and dry burn, or replace the head?
