Hi there! I'm having some weird stuff going on with my wick on A7.
The coil is pretty small and tight -- 8 wraps of 30ga kanthal, norizontal just above the air pipe. Comes out at about 1.5-1.6 ohm. For wick, I unbraided and boiled some cotton yarn, and now I use 2 strands of that pulled through the coil. About 1 inch of the wick is left on each side of the coil, and then tucked into the atty to soak up extra juice and act as a carto filler.
For the first few hours it tastes amazing. After that, the wick starts turning black under the coil, and starts losing taste. After another few hours, I can taste some slightly burny flavor. After a day or so, it's not usable and I have to replace the wick.
Anything you could suggest me to do to prolong the life of the wick? I think I keep it pretty saturated, not sure why it still burns
