Wick life

[badnaam_pahad]

Lemo 2 with 1.27 ohm coil and organic cotton wick. I am vaping at 20 watts on a Pico. I am starting to get burnt taste with only 2 days of vaping.

How often do you change the wick for high wattage vaping? I am not even sub-ohming. Is the wicking almost a daily thing if I was vaping at 30 watts on a .7ohm coil?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with vaping with latter day cotton strips and such that are now available.

Lots of people like Rayon. There is a thread or two specifically dealing with Rayon. Rayon doesn't burn per say. The biggest contributing factor to Rayon wick life is 'gunking up.' Gunking up is mostly related to the darkness of the ejuice. That problem is pretty much the same for most types of fabric wicks.

With the Lemo 2, I dremmel juice ports in the chimney for my 25/75vg juice.
You could be getting a burnt taste if the juice flow is not keeping up.

It depends to a large extent on the juice you are using. Sweet juice will gunk up the wick faster. I re-wick every two days or whenever the flavor drops off. If you are getting burnt taste there may be other problems with your wicking. Youtube videos can be very helpful.

Depending on juice and build from 8 hours to 5 days.........

New wicks are just better for taste and vapor no matter what the reason for changing them. I usually change a wick every two or three days. If a wick isn't delivering juice to the coil it's probably going to be that the wick is too small or the tips aren't into the juice channels. Some times a wick just retracts or shrinks away from the juice deck.

Maybe the coil size is too small to allow enough wicking.

Turn it down.

Coil wrapping (play with "heat flux")

What wire are you using? DIA of coil? number of wraps?

Got pics?

If the wick tastes burnt after 2 days then turn down the power or work on making the wicking more efficient and/or increasing the airflow.

I agree. 20 watts might be on the high side for the Lemo 2's juice feed capability. That, or the wick needs some attention.

I usually get 2-3 days before I rewick, the wicking is typically fine but the coil needs cleaned.

I usually re-wick and dry burn once a week. Sometimes it'll be 2 weeks till I notice it needs doing.

I was using the Lemo 2 recently on holiday in Thailand, 1ohm 20watts, it usually lasted 1-2weeks
