I was a big fan of the short wick Vision's. This last order from Litecig I received the long wick version. After comparing the two models, I've found the flavor in the long wick to be a little muted. I have also had a problem with dry burning if I chain vape the long wicks.
Why are all the venders changing to the long wick Vision eGo claromizers?

My guess would be if they sell just long wicks then they cater to both the long wick and short wick customer. Meaning the short wick customer can simply trim them. You can't make a short wick grow into a long wick. (That's what she said)
The problem is the short wick is a thick single wick, and the long wick is four small wicks.
Some people have trimmed the wicks and left one long one and found that it improved the taste and performance. I also ordered another from litecig, and hope I get the short one, but if I dont, than I will trim them and see how they differ, for me this is a great way to try my hand at modding and rewicking. I am really interested in getting one of those beautiful stainless units from either GG or Zenesis. If I find this experience with the VIVi fun and enjoyable I might eventually get one of those. From all I hear , if you like or love the VIvi than if you have the money the taste and performance with be an even greater one from the Cadillac/ Rolls Royce of atty/tanks.
Another little trick another user posted you might look into my post regarding the blindfold taste

One person said that she made larger vent and maybe somthing else and it works as well as her expensive unit. Im going to try that but have to figure out how to drill it, I will probably get my dremel kit out.

Long wicks give the user a choice, cut them if you want them short. Can't make the short wicks longer without rebuilding the coil.
Personally I haven't been able to tell a difference between the two.

If your looking for the short wick i know ivape.net has em still i just got some.
I don't think this can be said For All Attys/Cartos/etc and for all Wicks.
I think if a person Looks at what a Wick is supposed to do that the Long verses Short wick Looses some of its Importance It becomes More how a person vapes that is Important.
The purpose of a Wick is Supply e-Liquid to the Area of the Coil Wire. And a Fully Saturated Wick yields the Best Hit.
Look at a Bottom Coil Type Carto. If the PV is pointed Down while vaping, the e-Liquid due to gravity will Pool around the area where the Coil is Located. The wick is Fully Submerged and Saturated in the area of the Coil. In this Case, Long Wick/Short Wick Doesn't Matter.
Now look at a Top Coil Type Carto. If the PV is pointed Down while vaping, the e-Liquid due to gravity is Not Pooled around the area where the Coil is Located. The e-Liquid needs to limb the Wick via Capillary Actions. The amount of e-Liquid that makes it to the Coil can Vary Greatly due to the Viscosity of the e-Liquid and Porosity of the Wick Material. And of Course, if the wick is too Short, No e-Liquid can climb the Wick if the Level of the e-Liquid is Lower than the Length of the Wick.
But if the PV is Point Up when using a Top Coil Carto, then the e-Liquid Pools around the Coil Area. And All the Benefits of a Bottom Coil Carto Vaped Battery Down are Achieved.
So the Long Wick / Short Wick choice to me is Meaningless. Because for whatever Carto design I choose, I am going to adjust me Vaping style to make the e-Liquid pool at the Area of the Coil. If this is done, It doesn't Matter if you have a Long Wick or a Short wick.

I cut and fluffed the wicks on these things last night. These things hit like a champ now.
I started with Visions long wick v2 clearomizers, liked them, ordered more, and tried the short wick also. The short wick are $3.50 and i like them also. I got them from vaporcigzz but i see they are out of stock. I think people are thinking that you can always put longer wicks in, if you so desire, for a cheaper price than the long wick version.
Cutting and fluffing...
How far did you cut the wick and how much fluffing? Got any pictures?
