Yes, that is the wick that helps the juice to flow from your cartridges to the atomizer.Thought I'd give an update. I went to clean both the atty's and when I started looking closer at them I thought I saw some white stuff sticking out from under the bridge. I had to get a magnifying glass out, and sure enough, some of the filler was trapped (in both atty's!!) under the bridge.
That stuff needs to be in there for you to be able to use cartridges.
Sounds like you just removed the wick from your atomizers.I used some tweezers and finally got it all out, it was all burnt looking.
I think I ruined one of the attys trying to get the stuff out, I pulled too hard and the bridge lifted up on one side. I'll find out soon, though.
So I washed them out thoroughly in hot water and left them to dry overnight. Then I dried them further with a hair dryer. I then direct dripped onto the atty, and it seemed to work! No more perfume/soap!
However, the other atty did not work at all, I guess I fried it. Time to order a new one! The only thing I can think is I got overzealous and vaped too hard when I used the new juice???
They will no longer work with cartridges now, but you can still use them to drip.
Don't do that again.
