To Debridge Dewick or Not? Whats best for the REO

[zodduska]

Hi all, I've got a black/black REO Mini due to arrive today and I'm really excited! This will be my first juice fed device and I'm wondering whether or not you guys prefer your atties debridged and/or dewicked on your REOs?

I'm a newbie and just received my first atomizers yesterday in anticipation of the REO, got some VK bulk Joye SR 510s, three Joye 1.5ohm 306s and two Cisco 2.0 306s. I debridged and dewicked one of the SR 510s and I really like the effect it had on dripping but I'm not sure how it would effect the REO.

zodduska Welcome and congratz on the REO,

I do not like the de-bridged and/or de-wicked atties it takes something away from them IMO.

I just blow any primer out of them if there is any prime them good with juice. (4-5 drops and let sit 10-15mn) and fire away

When dripping, I always de-wick... the wick is only there for people that use foam-filled cartridges. I've tried de-bridging, but didnt notice any difference (other than hot juice popping up into my mouth)

As stated above, definitely get the primer out (there is no primer in Cisco atties)... from there, its up to you! Im still waiting for my Reo in the mail, but I plan to de-wick and leave the bridge alone.

I agree I don't like to de/bridge or de/wick either and when I do use a 306 which is rare I actually ad extra wick to my bridge and tie a double knot around the bridge with some extra wicking material I have.

I mostly use Cisco 306 attys and I only dewick if I have a problem.

I buy the bridgeless ones from greenhouseone

I debridge and dewick every one of my attys. I have no problem using them with the Reos.

I dewick to prolong atty life and prevent clogging since my daily vape is dark and cloudy. I debridge to allow more heat to transfer which makes it feel more like an analog to me. If neither of those issues are concerns for you, you might not find any benefit to debridging and dewicking.

One thing to keep in mind about dewicking, you have to be extra careful to keep your atty wet since there's no wick to hold that bit of extra juice.

lol we are 50/50 on the topic. I just started recently to use 306 attys (love them) after 90% of the people I asked told me to not de bridge them I just did not do it but I did de wicked all of them. I left one with the wick and really ain't a big difference but now all my 306 get de wicked I just like it better.

I am sure you have 2+ 306 attys just take one and get the wicking out and leave the other the way it was and see what you personally like because in the end some like 510's, some like 306 we are all different.

As long as you enjoy it that is all that matters so give it a try both ways and enjoy the Reo.

i always dewick my 306s

common consensus is to leave the bridge/mesh alone. but if youre having that burnt taste you cant get rid of..try debriding it before tossing it away. i tried it once and i cant turn back now -.- the flavor is so consistent now!

 

[Sterno]

i would suggest removing the wick (white fiber) only and leaving the bridge intact some attys just dont do well without the bridge and perform better with it

I used to leave my 306's alone but now, I always de-wick them. Saves me the trouble of trying to do it when the wicking material is all gunked up.
