So i removed the Wicking and Bridge from my 510 Atomizer

[Keita]

As some of you may know, i was having a problem with a new atomizer which was always giving me a burnt taste no matter how much liquid i put in (unless i flooded the thing)

So i decided to remove the threads. I thought it worked until 3 drags later i got a burnt taste again.

So i figured I would remove the bridge (after watching a video tutorial) After doing that i saw some threads (which i thought i removed all of them) were wrapped or underneeth the coil. After removing those, i dripped and vaped and vaped and vaped and NO MORE BURNT TASTE.

It doesn't taste as good (not as strong or flavorful as it regularly tastes but its a hell of alot better then having that nasty burnt taste and when i mean burnt i mean BURNT). The atomizer gets hot quicker as well as burns juice alot quicker, but that's a sacrifice i will have to make considering it would have been a atty that i would have never used for the fact that it tasted really burnt all the time before i removed the bridge.

My other atty which is blk cherry flavor is working fine for the last week (i will not remove the bridge/wick as it has no problems at all) but again i removed it from this one because that burnt taste was horrible.

Seeing as i removed the bridge, im sure people has done it was well, how often do i need to drip and how much?

I'm doing 2 drips dirrectly on the coil and re drip as i get alot less vaper but still not sure how often or how much to drip without having the bridge/wick.

I tried that last week mainly because i wanted to check on the carbon build up that has been killing my atties. I killed the atty in less then a week mainly because i would forget to juice it up after it was sitting for awhile. I also noticed it didn't hit as well without the wick. My other atty i got at the same time stopped tasting nasty after a day of use. It still will if it gets on the dry side but mainly it does a good job. Two drips is about right if you ask me. It will start to hit better after a little while too, but still not as good as one with a wick. I got a 5 pack of atomizers coming this week and i am going to work on a way to get that nasty taste out of it from the start. I will post back up if i can find a good way. Just remember to put a drip in it if it has been sitting for awhile to get you some juice on the coil.

thanks, the problem is, the atty tasted like crap/burnt ALL DAY, and i eventually found out (after removing the bridge) that some of the wicking was lodged on the coil (it was slightly burnt considering it was less then 1 days use and allways kept wet).

My other atty that i used is fine, and i will not remove anything, but this atty.... well it was a problem from the start.

I also noticed as you said, that it doesn't hit as well as one with the wicking and bridge, but since this atty was pretty much screwed from the beginning, its a big improvement compared to what it used to be, even though its not as close as a un modded atty.

The one youve removed the wick from you will need to redrip as SOON as the flavor starts to taper off and get faint. Or you will get a horrible acrid taste. I use 2 drips each time, although occasionally it needs 3.
I wouldnt recommend people remove stuff with brand new kit but you already said it was a last-chance thing for YOUR particular atty so I can see why you were tempted lol. I might try it one day but I hate to sacrifice an atty just for my curiosity.
I drip all the time btw, but I dont remove bridges or anything, I just think the flavor is better with dripping

yeah, after removing the bridge and wicking it no longer has a burnt taste (because some threads were wrapped around the coil which is not normal). After doing this though, i have saved my atty and am able to use it (even though it was brand new hah).
