hello all;
this may be a little OT, but I was wondering if any others, other than myself, moved the wick around in the CE2/CE2XL after doing a dry burn/cleaning?
What I do, (after each map tank) is after rinsing with very hot water the tank, wick/element, and mouthpiece, is pat dry, squeeze the wick in a clean towel to remove excess moisture, then dial down my Provari to 3.7v, then do a dry burn, usually 3- 1 sec blasts, to burn off the
juice that has caramelized onto the heating element. After the element is cleaned off, I very carefully pull on the different strands of wicking to move the wick to a clean spot under the element, then reassemble, refill with juice, and go for it again. I do this 4-5 times with each CE2/CE2XL before disposing of it and using a fresh one.
Doing a dry burn never burns off the crud completely from the wick material that was directly under the heating element which is why I move the wick to a clean area of the wick to be under the element.
Just curious who also does this or if there is a better method. I've noticed that the wick is physically burned also, not just having crud burned into the wick. I don't know if the burned areas of the wick hinder the wicking effect, but I do make sure that the burned area of the wick is pulled out far enough so that it is not right up against the silicon cap.
