To re-wick or not to re-wick

[Vaping_Racoon]

When my wick is still white (or the color of my juice) on
the second day can I leave it there?

How often do you guys re-wick your attys?

Thanks for your input

 

[wheelie]

Can certainly leave it. Either it wicks good or it does not. If it tastes fine and vaping good it is fine. Cheers!

Ok cause I always re-wick in the morning before I go do something important or when i change flavors just because
I don't want to be stuck without a good one...

But normally how long can it last? I use #2 Fiber Freaks which is really thick, if it helps.

I have had to change wicks after two tanks and some I vaped 30 to 40ml and changed it just because I can. If it tastes burnt it has to be changed so it is up to you and for you to know when. CHEERS!

When your wick goes south you will know. It will give you notice and you can still vape the rest of the day.you just may have a little gurgle or a small leak but usually it does not just stop vaping. Hope this helps.

Ok I see, thanks alot bro

I usually only rewick if a. It's dark and the liquid is starting to taste bad or b. A flavour I just used is strong and isn't bturning off and is affecting the flavour of whatever new juice I put in.

Generally speaking, if my wick is light coloured and the liquid tastes good, I let it be.

Cool. Good to have more precise info on the matter

Thanks guys

You are very welcome. We are here to try and help with lessons we have learned.

 

[Vaping_Racoon]

Yeah and it's great

I just started rebuilding a month ago with my first sub ohm tank and I learned so much!

 

[wheelie]

Very Cool. Changes tanks totally. You can get them vaping how you want them to. I rebuild all stock coils as well and make them a lot better. Went to a dripper event two weeks ago and all the drippers were stunned and watching me commenting how I was getting bigger clouds with tanks than they were out of drippers. There is no limit how far you want to take it. You can help lots of people here also now. CHEERS!

 

[Vaping_Racoon]

Yeah thanks

I went to the RBA right away. Still didn't use any stock coils or rebuilt them. I'm on a Subtank Mini

UTube is your friend when you want to learn to rebuild your stock Kanger coils. Once you learn one you are on the road to them all. They are all basically the same. CHEERS!

I only rewick and dry burn when I can taste the slight burnt flavor. I use alot of dark, sweet jucies. I like coffee, and now I am vaping a chocolate peppermint that taste like a peppermint patty and I am sure the coil will gunk up fast as it is dark and sweet. My coils last quite awhile just dry burning and rewicking them.

One of these days, when I recoil with a rebuilt, I'll take a 10 sec hit vid inside a car with a turbo Evod on a iS 30 at about 4.1 v. I can mostly cloud out the front two seats with an Evod. (Turbo's = 1 vent hole drilled out with a 1/16" drill and rewicked with Rayon)

Rayon will outlast cotton wicking. I DIY my juice and get up to 3 weeks with a build in my subtanks RBA. I also don't vape sweet juices either. Once I get a slight burnt taste, the build get trashed and I rebuild a new coil. Twisted 30 gauge is my build of choice.

When the wick is soo dirty all I can taste is soot or the wick is affecting flavor. I clean or change it.

When mine gets a light orange/red color and I can see the coils getting blackened I usually will change it. I like to keep it fresh and cotton is cheap

No Stainless wicking times:
Since I vape NET juices, that happens every 24hours or less, in my Kayfuns.
I can get about 48 hours out of my squonker. Don't know why, cause the same atty, run as a dripper, gunks in half the time.

Then there's stainless, used in my Sat22 Geni. When I get it running good, it lasts for days. For me most times I get hours. Got 4 days out of my Squonker once, but that was probably cause I was getting so many dry hits.

For my dripper I rewick about once a week, and I'll use the same coil for about a month. With the rba in my subtank I rewick after a 30ml bottle or so, unless it's needed earlier.

If it's vaping good and looks okay I will leave it be. If it looks and or tastes nasty I will change it. Also will change if I'm changing flavors.
Helps to practice too though. I used to be hesitant, cause I was worried it wouldn't be as good as the last one.
I've now gotten to where changing only takes a few minutes usually. Or if I'm trying out a new way.
