I had a strange experience today. Burn taste that didnt go. I opened the mouthpiece but nothing. I opened it more and I have flooding. I desided to take off the rebuildable part and cut the wick until it came 2-3 mm before it meets the base of the ceramic housing. Not only burn taste was gone but Ody has a better taste than before

So you cut it shorter than in your videos. U said in Videos that you cut it where the O-Ring is now, you cut it shorter where the ceramic housing ends right?

it solved the problem that occured when I had a strange burn taste without a reason Vapor. If you read 2-3 posts before you will understand:)

Oh, I saw that post and that's why I got curious. I guess I'm just trying to make sense of it since I didn't realize that the length of the wick in the bottom can make a difference in flavor.

Thanks.

I just tried this and it's working very well. Both flavor and TH seem to be more intense. No leaks for me after one tankful in short mode! (room spinning a bit:p)
The draw seems a little bit looser as well,- could this affect flavor/TH perhaps?

hmmmm, cutting the wicks shorter. I wonder.....

A large sponge can soak up more liquid than a smaller sponge. A smaller sponge can be "charged" with juice quicker than a larger sponge. Sponge=wick in my analogy. I believe this is the reason taste and TH are greater with a shorter length of wick. The liquid has a shorter distance to travel to get to the coil than on a longer wick.

Even though a section of the wick is exposed by opening the liquid control, the juice still has to travel to the end of the wick as well as to the top of the wick. If the wick is shorter, the liquid will travel faster to the top of the wick since the shorter bottom of the wick is then already charged with juice.

Makes sense to me so I'm going with that.

Well I just wrapped a new 2.5ohm (on the nose, metered with 2 different MMs and 2 different provaris) and it's just not vaping at 6v in dripping like it's supposed to, but I intentionally kept the top wick longer so I could see if that made any difference in that regard as well. Bottom wick was cut 2mm below ceramic housing as instructed.

Had to remake the coil all together, something went wrong. Made a fresh 2.5ohm for 6v vaping with your wick suggestion, where I used stock wick for the main (bottom) wick, and a doubled up piece of 1mm ceramic wick that I got for free via the Joyetech factory (held it over the stove for a good 5 min, no smoke came off, but I'm still a little specious of it...) and cut both wicks shorter than I normally would. So far, it's been vaping great. No real discernible difference in terms of wicking, flavor, or th. Flavor is down, but I think that's just bc it needs to be broken in a little. I'll repost if anything drastically improves or worsens.
 
i tried that cut ce2 and rebuild 1.5 ohm make to mid size oddy
mouth piece is ufs's ...........ha ha ha:D
