So I got sick of looking at my 2 (relatively) high-priced Orions just sitting there collecting dust, so I decided to try thinning the wicks again and trying a different method of diluting my straight VG juice. Previously I diluted it with water, which tasted horrible, but seemed to work. This time I broke out my ancient bottle of PG which has been frozen for 5+ years.
I grabbed my skinniest set of tweezers and started pickin' cotton and I didn't stop until I had a Toy Poodle size pile on my desk! (I thought for sure I had gone too far) I had just busted open an old burnt up pod and couldn't believe how tight the wick was packed in that coil, so I was really trying to pull as much cotton out of the coil as possible with no regard for how small/short the tails ended up being. I've done this before, but not nearly to this extent. BINGO!
I've been vaping this pod exclusively for the last 3 days and it's been glorious! Plenty of vapor, zero dry hits, zero leakage, great flavor, AND I'm liking the "punch" the PG added to my good ol' Boba's Bounty! Because Boba's is so rich I normally cut it 3:1 with straight VG. (plus VG is cheap and I like stretching out my dollar) I kept the ratio the same with PG so I haven't noticed a difference in flavor at all.
I know it's only one pod, but I'm going to keep at this!
