Today I noticed some fibers sticking out from under the bridge on my 901 and RN4072 atties. I took a toothpick to the fibers and was able to take them out from under the bridge. I'm assuming they are used to wick the liquid to the coil.
They appeared burned badly, so I was glad to have them out from under the atty bridge. Having burned nylon threads doesn't seem like a good thing.
Upon removal of the threads, I thought to myself that the bridge must be absorbing heat from the coil, cutting down on the coil's efficiency. Now, as a 10-year computer tech and performance computer builder, I am always looking for ways to get the most that I can out of electronic devices (like overclocking my processors or modding the case for better airflow). So I took it upon myself to go ahead and remove the bridge. It was extremely easy, even with the very deep RN4072 atty. Took a mere couple minutes from start to finish with all 4 of my atties. Push the mesh off the bridge, grab the bridge with tweezers, give a little wiggle and work the edges of the bridge out from where they are secured.
Don't get me wrong, I was worried at first so I tried on the atty I have that hasn't been performing well, in case I trashed it. After the success on that atty, I did it to all 4. Sure, this forces me to drip, but for me that's not a bad thing.
Well, as I suspected, the bridge must rob the coil of heat, thus reducing its max possible output at the voltage I use (3.7v). After the removal of the bridges, I immediately noticed an increase in TH, vapor, and flavor vs dripping with a bridge. It's quite an increase and worth letting people know about.
I don't suggest it to everyone, but if you have a spare atty, it's worth trying, but only if you drip. The bridge delete makes using a cart pretty much useless unless you use an elaborate cart mod that drips automatically onto the coil.
