(solved)Both new wicks stopped wicking after sitting overnight. T_T

[Mediocre00Rebel]

So last night I finally got my wicks right.... I though. Today I woke up and was excited to use my vape again. There's no more bubbles and my hits feel tasteless and harsh. The cotton looks fully saturated, but I took some tweezers and pulled it out of the coil to inspect a little, and the cotton looks dry in the middle. We could come to the conclusion that maybe it's too much cotton, but that doesn't explain why it was working perfectly last night, and suddenly overnight it went dry in the middle and stopped feeding juice.... The Wake rta only feeds when I open the cap, I see bubbles. It still doesn't taste good at all though. The arbiter is just not feeding at all anymore. I have to rewick again don't I?

Cotton will swell when soaked. Try a little less...

I had a hunch that may be it.

Also, just totally off topic. I suddenly keep getting this INFURIATING pop up on the bottom of my screen for a local dispensary. It's extremely intrusive and won't go away. I tried disabling all kinds of stuff, it just won't go away. UGGGHHH.

Ok. I re-wicked.... Again!!!! Lots of nice little bubbles, great flavor. I think I finally got it.

I think partially what happened was when it sat overnight it got super saturated... I think I got both of them perfect this time. I definitely put enough, but accounted for the cotton selling up. I really fluffed the ends to make a good tail. It should work out now.

 

[Mediocre00Rebel]

For real tho. Lol

Ok it's unfolded now. I just fed somewhere that can happen if the tank is filled to max....and just underfill it a little. It's halfway now. I can't pull it all apart until it's near empty. I've used wayyyy too much of my dang juice trying to fiddle with this, not gonna risk losing more when I take it apart. I'll just wait and see if it does it again....I've got a feeling maybe there just isn't enough cotton in the juice ports. May have thinned out the ends too much. I guess it still beats dry hitting.

Anyone know how Anna’s been doing?

I dont know which rta u use now but normally on almost if not all rtas doesnt matter how much u fill them i fill always all the way to the top and have no problems i just make sure to close the cap and always do few puffs chainvape it a bit after refill so i burn any excess juice that runs to the coil when opening the topcap air goes in.
I am guessing the first time was little too much cotton and u got dry hit and now it was not enough.

Its ok and its normal to fail sometimes you are still new to building just dont freak out and with time u gonna build it perfect every time.

Just remember since u are new to building dont fill the tank fully at first after rewick to make sure it works good first so if it doesn't u can just take it apart again and let the juice into the tank while u change the cotton.

I ended up rewicking anyway got it perfect this time.

You'll still lose juice if you have to pull something apart to make it work for you but you'll lose a whole lot less if you go ahead and invest in some leurlock (spelling?) syringes and blunt tip needles to go with it. Basically the syringe that allows you to twist the needle tip onto it. You can buy the things on Amazon they're not like a health related or medical device because they are blunt tip. You can get them all over And they're super cheap. For this application theyre certainly reusable but eventually the plunger starts getting a little stuck even though we have great lubrication in there with the PG and VG. That way you can just suck the juice out before you mess with anything and squirt it back in when you're done.

This way the only juice you'll lose is that which came tumbling out of your tank that's making you have to fix things and whatever gets on your fingers Also if you ever get into DIY you'll need them anyway unless you are all fancy and do it by weight

That's yet another reason why squonk mods rock. Need to inspect your build? Re-wick? Re-coil? Pull cap off atty and have at it. No juice loss, no syringes, no muss, no fuss.
