Why no attys with no wick or bridge?

[Sterno]

there is no reason to remove the bridge and risk damaging the coil

Interesting replys. Thanks everyone for adding your 2 cents. There seems to be a disagreement on taking the bridge out but most say that dewicking helps. I guess I'll take a look at my Cisco LR 306 and perhaps take the wick out of that and see what happens. I'm not even sure if I can see the wick on a 306 but will take a look later.

the wick is the exposed mesh and white stuff around the bridge its all exposed on a 306

Thanks Sterno,

I had thought the mesh was part of the bridge and underneath that was the wicking material. I'll take that stuff off and leave the bridge on a 306 and see how it goes. Thanks again.

I have a 306 that I managed to clog up. Boiled it and worked out the white fibers. It's better, but not clear, boiling again.

Remove the wick (fibers), keep the bridge and mesh. Yummo

I'm lucky, I have jeweler tweezers...makes it easy

Many are saying there is no reason to remove the bridge, and I mostly agree with that. But sometimes it can be very difficult to remove the wick in its entirety without removing it. Whenever I remove the bridge, its just so I can get every single fiber of the wick out of there.

I am confused by terminology I guess. Is the bridge the metal post that holds the mesh or is it the metal post and the mesh?

its the metal post that holds the mesh the mesh and fiber are the wick.....

 

[dopeh]

Oh that's good to know, when I removed my wick I left the mesh on the bridge, just pulled the string out.

thanks sterno....that clears up a lot of confusion for me....I'm easily confused

 

[unsure]

Old but may help some of you...still Im good without messing with them...

 

[Sterno]

i have started just removing the wick that is the white fibers and leaving the wire mesh and bridge intact

How is the performance by just removing the white fibers only?

 

[Sterno]

performance is good with improved flavor and no burnt taste
