A little update on the Profile RDTA.
First off, I use it with the Clapton mesh. Haven't bothered with anything else for the time being because, well, I've only had it for a few days. Crucial part here is that I wicked it using Wotofo's XFiber cotton. Problems started appearing, as I've posted about before, when the tank was less than half full. The cotton would dry out and I would get burnt taste. Thankfully, what I love about this clapton mesh (even though I prefer the others slightly) is that its dry hit isn't as bad as normal mesh. Still terrible and like Satan's farts, but it's like Satan has started eating some fibre instead of the hellish steak and garlic farts of normal mesh. Anyway, I messed with the cotton here and there, pushing it in where the hot spots would appear, like I do in my other RTAs, but nothing seemed to fix the problem. Not enough juice meant dry cotton which meant burning and satanic flatulence. At first I was kinda bummed that it was the atty's fault. Today I had some spare time and decided enough's enough and I rewicked it with Cotton Bacon Prime. If you want to ask how much cotton I used, the answer is yes. Same strip, same juice, only changed the cotton. Instantly better. Like a different atty. I don't know why, but even flavour is better. Wicks like a charm. I still have to tilt the thing for it to feed juice if it's running low, but I already do when vaping, so it's a non issue. Really happy with what I'm getting here. I even had the audacity to take the Profile off of the Grus and plop it on my Gen X (Grus is more than fine for a single battery, but c'mon). Before rewicking, it felt like it was getting overwhelmed on the Gen, unless the tank was completely full. Now, even at 80W it's keeping up and wicking without fault.
Long story short, the moral of the story is "don't skimp on the cotton boys and girls". XFiber has served me well while I was learning, but it's not on the same level as CBP. Maybe Vapefly or Vandy Vape cotton is better, but I've nailed mesh down now, so no reason for me to bother.
