I dewick and debridge HV attys (I don't have a Reo yet though) for my mods. I have not had a problem. Actually, I've have been using one of those attys for MONTHS. I would say try one and see how you like it. I found though that you need to drip much more. The wick and bridge seem to hold on to some extra juice. Once they're gone, you've got nothing in there except the heating element and at a higher voltage, you burn through it pretty quickly.

I de-wick both HV and LR 306s... I use Ikenvape HV and Cisco low-res. I leave the bridge alone on both.

The wick may not cause an issue immediately, but eventually they get funky... sometimes leaving the wick there causes an issue right from the start.

The first time I used an HV 306, all I got was burnt taste... de-wicked it, and it was bliss!

Besides, the wick is only there for foam cartridge users... which I am not : )

Dewick but dont de/bridge is how I fly ! to me the Bridge has its job on the Atty !

I ended up dewicking and debridging a 510 atty since I couldn't get to the wick. It left me wondering what job the bridge has if I don't use carts and only drip. So what is the bridge's job for a dripper?

For me, it shields popping and crackling juice from hitting my lips/tongue... it really hurts.

Otherwise, I didn't notice any difference between bridged/de-bridged...

also, there are 2 chunks of wick... one lives under the bridge, one lives inside the coils... I only remove the one directly under the bridge and leave the one in the coils alone.
 

want to quit

I just got some Cisco LR 306 in last week and I must say they are way harder to de wick then the 306 in your avatar (Chorn). Anyways de-wicking is the best thing I learned ever since I started vaping.

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to de-wick the 306? I have seen videos on how to debridge them but how do I go about just taking the wick out? I have some new 306's being delivered today and want to try it out.

Its not very hard (the way I do it) especially with a 306. Grab some tweezers, pull out the big, obvious chunk of wicking material directly under the bridge. Basically, make your 306 look like the one in my avatar! I usually dont get all of the wick, I leave the chunk that runs through the coils and remove the rest. You just need to get the parts that block the openings on either side of the bridge.
