Those are your wicks. They carry the juice to your coil, which heats them causing the vapor to be created.

I was just thinking to myself, could he be mistaking the fully soaked wicks as 'blobs', guess so.

oh. So everything is fine with my setup? No malfunctions or potential pipebomb formation? Thanks papasloth!

I think you're fine :) Pipe bombs only happen to idiots who are chasing clouds with low-Ohm, hand-built coils, questionable mods, and poor battery selection (as far as I know, but I am not an expert).

I'll keep that in mind if I do turn to RDAs, thanks so much for the clarification! :)

Horn..CE4 (disposeable about once a month or a lil less)) and CE5's (replacement coils available) clearomizers are easy to buy and inexpensive at FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics in China...$11 for 10..and about a 3 day delivery to you...and a lil splash of vodka in them overnight and a hot water rinse once a week, will keep them clean

Not true, most explosions from e-cigs are from ego batteries left unattended charging. I know there was the one sub ohm explosion recently but most are from ego's.

AHH, it the invasion of the Gel from the Blob dimension.!!!! run and hide!!! Umm, thinking you are seeing just the wicks, hard to say from the picks.

Sometime vg will gel up and accumulate under a drip cap, but usually rinsing with hot water will dissolve it no prob. Final answer, yeah, just the wicks man, wicks. :D

Alcohol dissolves glue and those are press fit and glued together...

Rinse under hot water and let air dry overnight.

Sugars in the e-liquid can thicken as they are repeatedly heated. The thicker juice tends to collect as it doesn't wick well, so will continue to grow...

Yeah, had the blob invasion about 7 months ago or so, once the wicks become fully saturated with juice, it tends to get gelatin looking, guy though jelly worms were growing or something.

The wicks will be almost invisible when first used and slowly become more pronounced. Color can change due to juice flavor, and sometimes get a black color going from wick back out of the coil.

You aught to see a build that's been in use for a month, pretty scary. :lol:


Here's a pic of a coil after 2 months of service:D

Waited a tad too long, but heck was still vaping like a champ:facepalm:
