Tips on wicking, it's almost a burnish flavor for me

Each type takes a slightly different density, ku doesn't need to be as tight as cellucotton. It's probably too tight.

When switching between types you'll need a small adjustment in the wicking.

Yeah, washed it, better flavor, but I wicked too tight, like I will have to rebuild because this is not coming out of my coil tight, but it has great flavor now. And I used the plus with a 3mm coil, was not getting the squeak so I said screw it ND twisted like in your video

Layer it if you need more density, not sure if you did. Ku also won't squeak as much as Sally's iirc. There is a difference between each kind.

With twisting its easy to overdo it.. Using 2 wicks works better for difficult coils, pull one from each side..
 
Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback on getting a new box; that Pico is so tiny and adorable I kind of want to get one for suit-wearing occasions - and so I can play with it. Sorry I kind of disappeared for awhile; I was finishing up my background packet for a major-city police force; any LEOs on here will know what a byatch those can be. I did end up grabbing the TNT 80; $40 for the box and two good 26650 batteries is an amazing deal for a box that can command $65-75 online, without batteries. It is a tank (as in Abrams or Tiger, not Avocado), and fires my Subtank as well as it can be fired.

I feel like I've gotten a lot better with the wicking; however, I am more resolved than ever to get a new, better RTA, especially with a new, more powerful mod. The Subtank is SOOO tiny and difficult to wick; I find I have to rewick whenever I move between juices of different VG levels. Just the other day, the wick that was working nearly perfectly with my 99% VG "Churrios" started spitting and leaking when I tried to switch to Elysian's 70/30 "Mjolnir." The damn deck is designed and sized so that it seems to me way harder than it should be to find a tail setup that can work well and still prevent leaks and flooding... I know, it's a poor workman who blames his tools, but even when I have that wicking working well, it just doesn't seem as good as it could be.

Just never ever ever ever EVER get her a vacuum cleaner as a B-day, Xmas, or Val Day gift!!!!! :laugh:
Funny you should say that. She has some kind of weird vacuum cleaner fetish and would have loved a new vacuum, but we already have 5 or 6 around here and nowhere to keep another one until she gives one away which she will do about once a year or so.

Speaking of fetishes, I went ahead and ordered the Limitless Plus just because I have a couple 10 wrap SS coils ready to go that I'm itching to try and I can't bring myself to pull out the ones I have in the original while they're still working so well. That would be a waste of money. Funny how the mind works.

Hey, the only real easy way to change juice thickness like that and be consistent is with the assistance of juice control, or two atties set up for each type.

Pictures are super helpful, you having issue overall your saying? What seems like it's lacking?

Haha I didn't notice the squeak level had the tv on. Good to know that it needs less density than the Sally's.
 
I've been trying to recover my old Photobucket account, so pics will be forthcoming. The main problem I've had is that my wicks either spit, flood, and leak, or are choked off and don't handle high VG juice or wattage much above 35. I've been struggling with this for weeks now.
