we have to disagree on this one dusty i never said it was the wire wools job to heat the juice hehe ,the coil heats the liquid trapped in the cart fibres, but the wire wool bridge allso heat's up, that's why when the core is pushed up tight against the bridge it burns and sticks to wire wool .

i never said the bridge doesn't heat up. I think it is actually not the job to heat the juice in the cart fibers. I think the goal is to heat the liquid trapped in the bridge(basket etc)
We can each think whatever we want.

thats the coils job. but when the cart fibers are pushed up tight against the wire wool it can burn the fibres. the coil heats up the wire wool which drips the juice on the wick so this gets very hot fast it allso heats up the cart fibres which drips more juice on the wire wool etc.
so if its a tight fit between bridge and cart it can burn that's all.

let lay down my thoughts. I don't know who, if either of use, is right.
This is how i see it all working. The liquid is wicked from the cart wool to the basket via a physical contact. The liquid in the basket(the stainless steel bridge, etc) is what holds the liquid that is to be heated. Therefore in my mind, the atomizer would go dry rather quickly if there is no contact between the wool and bridge. Does that makes sense? I'm not saying that is how it works, but that is how i think it works.

my understanding is the bridge should barely be making contact with cartridge filling, only enough to convect the liquid from the cart.
The liquid then drains down via the bridge into the wire wool that surrounds the ceramic pot.
The ceraminc pot has 4 holes in it's sides, Liquid is pulled in from the wire wool that surrounds the pot through these holes when you inhale and the wick soaks up that juice,
On the next inhale , the liquid that the wick previously soaked up is vapourised while the whole process is repeated.
Now , being metal which as we know conducts heat rather well, the whole shebang gets rather warm. I dont believe the bridge would generate enough heat to effect the cart filling no matter how hard it's pressing up against it.
The cart filling and the wire wool bridge act like the hook and eye of velcro. I'm suprised they dont get tangled and caught up more often.

i dont see why the wire wool would go dry if these two were not touching the coil plus wire wool heat is hotter enough to cause the nicotine to drip from the cart core on to the wool,thats how i see it, if its pushing up tight it burns!if you push the core a bit higher in to the cart it still works so proves my theory.this is what i do when the fibres get burned and tangled and it still feeds the wick and wire wool.
if this is the case apo why do the fibres melt on to the wire wool surely its because it gets hot!

so Kit your line of thinking is : the heat generated by the atomizer from the vapourizing process heats the liquid in the cartridge . This heat is sufficient enough to lower the viscosity of the liquid which allows it to drip onto to wire wool bridge.
Kit, without sounding rude that would mean the heat generated would have to be pretty darn consistant. which we know just by touch that it isn't.
If it's not hot enough it won't thin the liquid which then means it wont come out of the cart.
so if after a little use the heat (as we know ) get's higher. So if it gets hotter therefore the liquid gets thinner and so pisses out the cart and flooding it.
That method of operation requires alot more control than these devices can give to allow these things to work as well as they do.
thats the reason you shouldn't leave an ecig battery end down for any length of time , because the wire bridge and gravity would convect the liquid from the cart and flood the atomizer and battery.
I bet that you could hang a new cartridge up by the mouthpiece and leave it all night and not a drop would come out, but if you done the same but put a cocktail stick up into the cart filling and left it all night then the cart would be empty because the cocktail stick will act like a wick and allow the liquid to run down it.
i feel an experiment coming on....
the liquid in the cart is enough to quench the heat from the wire bridge. if this wasnt the case then every cart would be burning up significantly.
If any filling is being burnt my thoughts are that the burnt fibres are stray polyester strands that hang below the bridge when the cart is inserted.
By the nature of the filling material , when these strands get burnt they receed upwards back into the cart.
i'm no expert , this is just my train of thought .
funny story, i think most of that is trapped vapor that didn't originate in the cart. feel the wool next time. it is warm, but not burning.
whys it a funney story dusty we both didnt know for fact,maybe your right apo your idea is plausible.
lol , i even looked on howstuffworks.com to find out some info, but they havent even figured it out yet cause e-cigs aren't on there.
to be honest none of us manufacure or design these things, i'm just going on what i see.
In theory kit your method could well work but it would need more control over the heat generated and dissipation of stored heat.
