Hey all, been lurking for a minute, finally decided to take the leap and sign up. My name is Justin, and I have been vaping for 77 days after a 14 1/2 year battle with analogs. Glad that's finally over! So I've moved up from the cig looking devices, then to a replacement coil system, and today my first hybrid came in the mail via vapor beast. I just picked up a cheapo i-atty or IHybrid clone as most like to call it. Watched a few youtube vids on how to set everything up and I did so with good success. Seems like the only problem I have thus far is I still get a bit of a funky taste to it. I replaced the coil as soon as I got it and wrapped my own, but I'm still using the stock wick it came with. I have some 400 mesh on the way in the mail, but I wanted to get this thing started. With no juice in it, it has that "new" wick smell/taste to it...I am sure everyone here knows what I'm talking about. I took the wick out and burned it with some juice 3 or 4 times then put it back in. It just doesn't really seem to be wicking all that great, and I am sure it has something to do with it being a cheap mod to begin with. I can't imagine they'd use top dollar stuff on a 38 dollar toy. So needless to say, if I plug the air hole and try to suck through the drip tip i.e. trying to flood it, it seems like it pulls a little better flavor. But then the very next hit is kinda half and half w flavor plus "new wick flavor" and it's very unappealing. Is this something I'm just gonna have to deal with till my mesh comes in the mail? Thanks in advance for any responses!
Pretty awesome felling isn’t it? I’m not going to try to troubleshoot your system, you’re way ahead of me, except that perhaps you didn’t let it saturate the wick long enough? Just giving you a bump so others might answer your question. Cheers.
