what di I break now?

[tumbleweed65]

I'm not sure what I did but.....
I have a vamo topped with a vivi nova and been working fine,I made some juice and it finally was ready....tested in dripped in a atty hit and tasted great....put it in a shorty cart still great vaped on it a few hrs in the shorty I was in heaven I finally got my juice right after a month of trial and error. So I dumped out my vivi cleaned it up patted the wick dry but noticed the wick was loose in the coil? as in it slid back and forth there was a slight burnt mark where it sits but seemed fine. anyway after it dried I filled it up with my juice and its odd seemed like it wasent hitting but after piddlin a bit with it noticed it was I had to hit the fire button for about a second then draw on it and it works and taste normal.
Ive always just hit the fire and draw now I have to hold the fire for a second before I can draw to get it to hit any idea what's up with that or is that just normal sometimes?
also my shorty still is the same fire/draw.....my backup tank (not sure the name but its very simular to the nova just a different size head) is the same with my juice fire/draw.

Not exactly sure what the problem is, but coils do over time increase their resistance from crud that deposits on them. So a new 2.0 ohm carto will soon become 2.4 ohm or higher. Not much to be done if that is too weak but replace the carto. This is also true for the CE-type tanks that do not use a cartomizer. I have found those coils rather quickly get crudded up and measure at higher resistances fairly fast. Some vendors sell the coil assembly without having to by a new tank.

Your wick is not likely to be burned, just stained from juice. Even a butane lighter will not burn them if they are the usual silicone-based fiber. In fact it is common for people to flame their wicks before using them, to get rid of possible surface chemicals of new wicks.
