So couple questions for you pros! I'm finding myself still pulling my top cap off when I Squonk lol. Is it possible to over juice my wick? Sometimes taste was off, I'm not sure how to explain it. For me, when I lung inhale, taste is 1,000 x greater. I've sometimes been getting that mouth to lung inhale taste that bothers me for some reason, call me strange haha. I wonder if it's getting the wick to saturated? I've only been using it 3 days so I'm sure there is a little learning curve. I couldn't find an o ring that fit so ordered from Rob, besides leaking does it help anything else? I haven't had any leaking yet, no oring so that's good. If anybody has any other tips besides my questions, I appreciate it. Thanks all.

Which atomizer are you using? With the RM2 I've not found it possible to over juice. In the RM3 dual coil it is because I get ejuice in my mouth. The o-ring also helps to position your air hole. On the RM2 it is optimal to have it pointing up at the point you have the mod at your mouth to vape.

I'm using the Odin, only atty I have. Will be getting either Magma from Chowder. Hopefully he can make my other attys BF as well

Ahh, well I can't really help you there since you're using an Odin and soon a Magma.

*in my experience* with the RM2, which is *very* reminiscent of an IGO before they started doing multi-coil designs, over saturation is *not* a problem. I'm probably in the small minority here that squonks after every hit because I like my wick nice and juicy. So, having said that, all I can offer is DON'T pull the atty cap off when checking for squonk, just pull the drip tip off and observe. You can see just fine down there w/out the need to pull the top off.

Post a pic of your coil and wick, that will give the odin pros more info to go on. Plus, I like to look :facepalm:

Only my 2nd wrap with Odin. 28 [26 G, something strange w/ it in Odin w/ me] Guage parallel 5 wraps. I actually asked ppl to post on the Odin link I started cause I'm unsure of how much cotton w/ BF. I swear it looks like lots of cotton in this pick, doesn't seem like it. There isn't much room on the right side for cotton. I did the "box tie" on my top feeding. So squishing it down is driving me crazy lol. I dunno, I'm a newb to Reoville lol, maybe I'm doing something wrong......

Lol, as soon as I seen the pic I took some out. It didn't look like that much & never tasted like cotton which is a great sign u have tooooooo much. Does anybody ever leave 1 side of the cotton out of the chamber? With single coil, u can see there isn't much room on that right side, I'm gonna leave it out when I re wick & see how it goes...

Way too much cotton. I clip almost right to the end of the coil. No tails at all just squonk to cover the coil. The funny taste you are tasting is most likely burnt juice that is getting heated up sitting on that deck absorbed into all that cotton. Just a tip

I think that would take quite a while to do with an Odin as the coil is about 3/8" off the deck... I'm sure you are using an RM2, right? Two different animals there...
