First successful re-wick.

[Astral]

Not the most exciting of threads I'll admit, but I just wanted to share my little achievement.

My first attempt at wicking the test Ares 2 was a bit all over the place to be honest, but I stuck with it because I wanted to like it and wasn't really sure what an RBA was supposed to be like.

The flavour was okay, although I suspected it should be better, but I'd always get a dry hit after the forth or fifth draw and I wasn't really enjoying it after the initial excitement had worn off.

But my goodness, what a difference! I've just re-wicked it and its transformed! Flavour, no dry hits and a silky smoothness that was at least there. What a combination.

The juice is just so sweet now. My poor wicking had even robbed PrimeVapes of it's flavour, and all it took to rectify was a bit of time and a bit of understanding.

It turns out that I had set the coil too low and used too little cotton. Simply cleaning and raising the coil, and being bolder with the amount and fluffiness of the cotton made a world of difference.

I get it now people. I get it.

Peace and prosperity to you all my friends.

I've just got to get round to actually buying that wire and Muji for myself now.

Nice one @Astral . Glad you've sussed it mate. Definitely worth the bother innit?

Nice one @Astral - the tank should have come with a little bit of wire if you need it whilst waiting for some to be delivered.
Sounds like you are getting the hang of it now though and glad you're enjoying it. You've also reminded me that I need to re-wick mine!

That's great @Astral

It's quite satisfying when you get it right isn't it.

I'm really rather pleased with myself. I can't believe how much of a difference it's made. An extra mm and a bit more cotton and the whole thing's transformed. Remarkable.

Be bold with it @DeeDee aka (Pod Queen).

I thought I was supposed to keep the coil quite low and not over pack it the the first time, but it turns out I was wrong.

Give it plenty of breathing room and plenty of fluff and the flavour's wonderful.
