maybe an all vg liquid will bring some issues tazz. But you can avoid those issues even with VG by using a thinner wick. So if you use 3,5 then use 3. If you use 3 then use 2,5 etc

This really only happens to me when I chain vape. It does not bother me, I just crack the top and let some air in and I'm good to go.

Yeah I think my next setup will be 3mm instead of 3.5mm because it was very tight with the 3.5mm
THe only thing I'm wondering is if I take strands out of the 3.5mm will it be ok that it isn't perfectly round, and will that even be any less tight because the basic shape will still be the same, except with a small channel taken out?
Does that make sense?
Or should I just try to order 3mm or different wick?

I also use 100% VG juices and there are issues with the 3.5mm wick in the Ody with those thick juices specially on a new wick. I now use only 3mm in the Ody with no issues with those juices. If you don't have 3mm just take out some strands and it will work just fine. If you want to use 3.5mm wick then try leaving it after you first make a new wick and coil for half an hour to soak with open juice control. Once it soaks it does work but with juice control way open

Thanks Captain! You're awesome!

I was using much thinner wick before and it worked great, not sure what size it was, it came with my Ody when I got it in the classies.. looks like 2mm? Pretty thin, though.
When CoV gets more thinner wick in stock (15ft) I will definitely grab some, but in the meantime I will try taking strands out of the 3.5mm
