ok, so, to get this start i just need to say i have my AGA-t2 and its the best tank ever, but i also like to have other tanks like my vivi novas for backup and quick juice swap. with this in mind i bought some fiberglass wick after reading some good things about it. i had only used silica wicks before and am accustom to the taste (i don't really taste anything besides a muted flavor of juice compared to the AGA-t2 with its SS mesh). so my question is... did i do something wrong?
i replaced one of my vivi nova heads with the silica wick and kanthal 33 gage. i test for shorts, comes out to 2.8ohms and fires properly. i pour in some juice let it sit for 10 minutes just in-case it didn't wick fast enough. i start to vape it and immediately notice a dank aftertaste to ALL of the juices I've tried with the fiberglass wick. to best describe what it is i taste, it has an after taste of something like the smell of balsa wood (at-least the best way i can describe it.
it happens to all my juices from mild fruity flavors to harsh wintergreen flavors. I'm very disappointed i got 30 feet of this and i can barely stand using 1 wick for its lifespan. (it was cheep but even then)..
so the clarify my question:
why does it taste weird, and is there any prep i need to do to the wick if that's why it taste off?
because as of right now I'm just gonna stick to my 1 ss mesh tank till I can get silica wicks or find out why my fiberglass wick has an aftertaste of dank wood. (its not just my wick, my friend bought a vivi nova head replacement that had a fiberglass wick and it taste the same way, he even complains about the off taste)
