phoenix rba taste

[rizzo777]

Just wicked an el cheapo phoenix and I read reviews that they should taste great but it tastes like straight up silica from the wick. Is there a break in period for silica? Im used to SS.

Did you torch the silica first?

 

[rizzo777]

No I didn't. I just put in SS wick and its awesome !

rizzo, I do my Phoenixes with vertical SS Mesh, I just oxidized the bottom part (the base) but now I'm using them fully unoxized but wrap the bottom 1 ~ 2 mm in a thin layer of cotton, that prevents shorts darn well

i'm not a fan of silica, most of the time SS Mesh and now and then cotton (or a combination of both)
