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.
Yes, that is the wick that helps the juice to flow from your cartridges to the atomizer.
That stuff needs to be in there for you to be able to use cartridges.

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???
Sounds like you just removed the wick from your atomizers.
They will no longer work with cartridges now, but you can still use them to drip.

Don't do that again.

Oops. :oops:

Guess I better order some more. Anyways, they work fine for dripping.

Now back to the perfume taste. I got the perfume taste out of the atty, and I dripped the regular Marlboro flavor I got from Cignot and it tasted fine.

However, back to your point DC2, I then dripped some of the new fluid (Honey Flue Cured tobacco) and I got the perfume taste again. So I agree, I think Dekang has an issue with their liquids.

I am going to go and order some spare atty's from Cignot and some ecopure Fresh, I liked that one and it had no perfume. I will also check out the other suppliers you listed that had no perfume taste.

Such a learning process!!
