not wicks fault e-liquid goes, burns and clogs the wick. wick problem but removing it causes more problems.
jigtg aint in the informed opinion class yet kate.. poorly iinformed opinion might well think its to do useing the wrong chickens blodd to soak the atomizers in..
poorly informed opinion will always greatly outnumber well informed opinion in most forums..
trog
ps.. but re-reading his badly put post he is basically correct.. its the wick thingy..

Well that liquid needs to get inside that coil somehow. That wick basically creates say 20 extremely small tubes in which the liquid flows through.
You do understand that trog?
trog believes that wick burns while i believe it does not burn. stupid argument.

Somewhere on the forum, someone took excellent photos of a discected atomizer. The fibers inside the coil looked kind of like fiberglass. I once had an atomizer where I just couldn't get rid of the burnt taste (tried several ways of cleaning). Then when I blasted it with my steam cleaner, the burnt taste was gone. So that tells me perhaps the wick material doesn't actually burn, but gets burned residue on it. Anyone tried a burn test on these fibers to determine what kind of fibers they are?
The wick turns to hard, black, crumbly carbon in time, it no longer soaks up juice. That's the case in the ones I've seen anyway, I haven't seen a dead Janty, Sedansa or Ruyan dissected yet.
You called Janet 'Kate' there Trog, I'll take that as a compliment since she's so nice

Been there, done that. Silica likely. Maybe I someday bother to heat it for hours or days.

Awww Kate. I can be kinda mean sometimes. I was yelling at Leaford the other day 'cause I couldn't hear him on his video. But I don't think I was too mean!
Does anyone think that in addition to wicking fluid, this fiber wraped by the heating coil is also put there to keep the coil from getting too hot? Kind of like a temperature control. As in if you look into a toaster you see that every place where the ribbon is secured it does not glow red. I know the fiber keeps the element secure and prevents the coils from touching each other. Without the fiber the element would expand and distort upon heating possibly touching some of the loops together since they are spaced so close.
the wet damp wick does cool the heater coil.. but i think its main purpose is to absorb liquid and bring it into direct contact with hot heater coil so that the coil can heat it up and turn it into vapour..
when the wick piece loses it its ability to absorb liquid the atomizer turns into a wimp.. this happens gradually.. not all at once..
i did at first (till i looked closer) think it was for structural strength only.. now i think its to absorb liquid.. after a while it stops doing this and coil cant heat and vapourize isnt there..
