removing rubber gasket

[Mykenike1423]

I've heard removing the rubber gasket helps give more flavor & I agree but do I even need it? What purpose does it serve?

Hello Rubber gasket on what?

 

[jayyco]

it keeps from flooding, i would only do it if you replaced the wick with cotton

If your talking about the one on the chimney I've been talking them off my pro tanks for the past few days. I haven't had any problems yet. Better flavor but seems to suck the juice more .

I heard that it helps insulate the heat so your atomizer dosent get really hot. And i also heard that it keeps the atomizer from leaking a ton.

Its all depends on how thick your juice is, if its real thin it will leak without the rubber if its 100% vg I take it out to prevent dry hits.

if your talking about the silicone cup on a kanger coil

when you take that out, it turns the air tube/mouthpiece into a straw
that is what isolates the juice in the tank from the air passage

with this removed, juice flow INTO the wick is greatly diminished
which defeats how it was designed to work...

Ive heard of this and when I attempted this on protank II I got massive flooding. But then again, I'm new.

+ 1 I haven't had abit of problems with taking it off mine, actually had problems(dry hits) with it on. With it off juice is able to move more freely into the wick but like Daytona said if thin juice it can cause leakage. I fixed the leakage on mine by adding a second oring to the addy before screwing in the base. Worse case scenario if you want to try it if you get some leakage, put the seal back, clean up the leakage and vape away. Just make sure if/when anytime you have leaks to clean out the firing pin area on your device

Removing the seal and boring a 1/16 drill bit in an existing air hole made mine hit like a champ. I'll kinda pulse my finger on and off the hole for the duration of the hit. This method does suck the juice somewhat tho but IMO is well worth the flavor and vapor. Next week I will be adding micro coils(first time building a coil) and cotton to see if I can get even better vape. I like to tinker somewhat

Lol having said all that I'm not saying to go drill holes and what not in your atty. just sharing something I done that gave me great results.
