Could the way you wick change flavor?

[AdamAAdams]

I just re wicked my coils and now the flavor seems muted. I used more cotton this time but not sure if it's that or the cotton itself. I usually dry burn and re wick about 2 to 3 times before replacing the coils and this would be the first time I've re wicked these coils. I use Japanese cotton I ordered from fasttech. Has anyone had issues with their cotton? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

when I use cotton wicks they taste muted at first but after a few hits the flavor starts to pick up. I have to run about 1 ml thru a new wick to get full flavor. don't have this problem with silica wicks. maybe the new cotton is absorbing some of the flavor IDK

My thoughts are you used a little too much cotton and not enough juice is flowing. There's enough so that you don't get dry hits but not enough to get enough for good flavor. Could be different cotton?

This was my first thought as well. Use too much cotton and you effectively "choke" your wick, preventing a steady flow of juice from reaching your coil. Try re-wicking with a little less cotton and see how it goes.

I would say WonderDude is right, using too much cotton can cause issues with wicking which does affect the flavor

Okay thanks, I'll vape on it for a little longer and if nothing changes I'll read wick with less cotton.
