1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.

    Back to standard wicking.
    Nearing the end of a tank the vape gets noticeably 'wispy', I am vaping Deadly Sin ATM, not sure of the ratio but certainly not high VG.

    I think that also why I don't like my subtanks with OCC when there getting low. I cant see how this could be a better method over a conventional placement on the deck, I always make sure I can see the liquid channels are free and Im sure the limitations in all my tanks is the amount of air I can get through.

    What do you mean by wispy? Light vapor?


    I always wondered if in a tank would some things turn into vapor earlier than others leaving the end of the tank different than the beginning. It sure changes color and consistency sometimes, so I do think it's possible.

    I have no idea what the answer to your question is though, but I do know some tanks seem to not work as well when they are low, but I think due to pressure? So I guess that isn't it.

    Well you asked what you could look forward to and I'm sure that there will be some one day if not already today.

    I don't know about any pancake flavors, but I have seen maple flavored stuff a lot (I know in my country maple syrup goes with pancakes, I'm not sure if that's an American thing or what).
    I'm not positive, but I would venture to guess that searching the internet, you must be able to find at least one or two pancake flavors somewhere. I have found bacon and salted fish, so I'm going to e really surprised if there isn't a pancake with syrup flavor now.

    Just that the denseness of the vapor decreased significantly. I could sense it whilst vaping and see it whilst exhaling.

    I get that sometimes, I assumed it was the wick. Especially with the Erlkonigen which is why I eventually gave up, it just gave me too many problems for something I really want reliability with.

    But I have assumed that it was the wick, since it's happened with the RDA and a new wick fixed it.

    I have a really nice wick and coil working on my Delta II right now but next refill I will try this wick method using same coil and juice and see how it works out. Thanks for sharing
    **Updated**
    OK, tried it out with the same 50/50 (might be 60/40) juice and making the length a little longer per RT's notes on screen. Using rayon. At the same power level, even with nearly a full tank the vape is less dense and also less flavorful. I'll try it out in the future with a higher VG juice if I notice any wicking problems but for this juice I'll be scrapping this one immediately.
    **Updated**
    Back now with my standard wick. It's not a huge difference but it is noticeable. I'm thinking it must be more saturated through the coil compared to the previous pancake method.
