Reomizer pit stop and wicking

[Fishcakes]

Are you letting off the button and continuing to pull on the atty for a few seconds when taking puffs? I find that if i dont do that, sometimes my wick gets a little toasty and burnt tasting for a few hits. Maybe your coil is just retaining heat longer than youre pulling so it burns up the wick.

(god i hope that makes sense)

Reomizer 2 with stock air hole. 2.5mm and 27g at about 0.9/1.0 ohm. kgd thin enough to slide easily, thick enough to be making contact with the coil, and short enough that it's just touching the deck. maybe it's the small air hole that isn't cooling the coil/wick down enough. i squonk habitually almost after every hit or two.

i created a thread about this a few weeks ago somewhere else on ECF and with all the info i got from that thread i still haven't found out the problem.

it's actually improved slightly.... i can get about 12ml, but after that the juice gets dark in the bottle and taste starts to suffer, so i pull le wick.

Try doing a tight cotton, as in you have to pull it through and not a slidey slide. Works better for me personally

The juice I use generally correlates to how often I wick. I chain vape most of the day...well alot of vaping. It doesn't matter the build or how much cotton I am using. It's frequency of hitting the fire button, coil and juice type for me. It's rare I go 2 days on a wick. Dry burn quench. Dry burn quench. Dry burn wick.

Sugar content (and other additives) in the juice will play a huge part in how fast your wick gets gunked. NET's? Forget about it. They gunk a coil inside a day, for example.

If the juice is getting dark in the bottle there is a good chance that you cooking it in the atty and then washing it back into the bottle with the next squonk. Any juice present but not vaporized in the atty (e.g. stored in the wick tails) gets subjected to heat, which can cook it. Many of us use very short wicks to keep as little extra juice in the atty as possible to avoid this. This cooked juice can caramelize, further exacerbating the wick gunk.

Well said.

What @PapaL said is very true. I will also throw out that I have found that the level of Nicotine in your liquid will play a big part in coil gunking and caramelization. About 2 months ago I changed to 0mg nic and have found that my usual dry burning of my coils went from every 2-3 days to almost 1 1/2-2 weeks. I think RxW also played a big part in this as well. I can vape my wick almost dry without the fear of burning my wick and having to replace it.

I purchase 100% PG 0nic and mix it with straight VG to an 80%VG / 20% PG ratio. Since I purchased my first Reo almost 2yrs ago I have gone from 24mg to 0mg. Mixing it the same way all along. Looks like my next step will be selling everything... Not sure when that will be, but for now vaping doesn't consume my day as it did even a year ago...

I am having serious coil gunking issues with my favorite juice,Indigo Vapor Oohrah. I am using a cyclone atty. hole drilled to 1/16 My coil is 26 gauge kanthal 2mm around .75 ohm. I am thinking spaced coils? less ohms? different wire? I have to burn off the coil twice a day or the juice taste awful. Any suggestions? Thanks Dave

funnily enough i do do that. it was one of the things i consciously tried to do more in order to solve this problem.

my juice is light and clear. unflavored with about 5% concentrated flavoring added. i'm gonna try with extremely short wicks and see what happens. short as in barely touching the deck. so my squonks will need to be vigorous in order to wet up the wick. will give this a try next rewick but i'm not confident. this is just my curse it's not a big deal i don't mind rewicking every couple of bottles.

I'm spoiled to the nth degree, I am in awe at how often changing wicks goes on....I'm fortunate I guess in that using various cotton/rayon/silica, readyxwick is the best tasting truest flavor of my juice...my wicks go on for seasons.
If I change a wick it's because I'm just building another atty to park on a new mod....I have heard some say that in different batches of RXW they noticed a difference in flavor and performance....I hope this isn't the case for me as my 1' I ordered a couple years back is about out...
Cheers to you guys that can wick once or twice a day, I must be the laziest vaper around...but I do apply deoxit to my contacts like religion
If I had to choose something else from RXW I prefer rayon over cotton, lasts longer than cotton and doesn't burn as easily in my style of vape.

FYI: I vape about 60-70ml a week

Me too!!! I know the feeling, I only fill up every couple days I'll just grab a different mod ,hahaha
I've got 10ml bottles and some 9ml, I'm excited to get the new SS capped 8.5 ml bottles from Italia
Battery swaps are easy, that darn filling the bottle, sheesh, changing wicks...forget it!!
I buy mods more often than I build coils, LOL!!!

I don't think we're lazy though, honestly, I think were in the zone!! Vaping in the armchair!
