no the off flavor which was kinda burnt kinda something elce was there with a new wick I tried a few different balls it was that batch must have not rinsed the pan well
or something could have been spilled on them not sure

now I have good flavors but the flovor goes away before my rda is any where near dry if I drip when the flavor goes away it would flood and run out the airholes
its like the flavor is not mixing with the vg at all what is going wrong

How much DW are you adding to that mix and what's you VG/PG (To lazy to back track this thread:))concentration?

Distilled water.

When making high VG mixes the mix is to thick to wick properly and the flavor is not efficently carried. My suggestion is choose a mix that has a flavor issue and add 10% distilled water to it then vape it again. I think that is your low flavor issue.

That'll do it to you every time, IMO:laugh:. Patience and a willingness to learn are two essential ingredients that cannot be bought, and taking a step back to get some perspective before finalizing an opinion really comes in handy sometimes. Roll with, but keep good notes.
