Wicking question

[emsvapor]

Hey guys I hope I can some advice.

I am a noob builder and when ever I wick my coils within 24 hours my wicks collapse into the juice well. The only part not in the well is the cotton in the coils.

Any advice or thoughts about what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated

Yea, not sure what you mean by collapse. Are you saying the ends of your wick fall off and all thats left is whats inside the coils?

I'm not really getting it, either -- the ends of the wicks are supposed to be in the juice well!

So they are falling off? lol thats wild, never heard of that happening before, but if thats happening then the coils gotta be burning the cotton off so they fall off. Make sure to keep the wick good and wet and dont run it too hot.

Not falling off give me about 15 minutes and I should be able to post pics

I dont see the problem man, looks like a normal wick to me. They do tend to "sag" a little bit after some use, as in not being as fluffy, but nothing wrong with it. As long as your not getting burnt hits you really cant do wrong.

Thanks like I said I'm a noob builder and wasn't sure and didn't want to damage my mod

If the ends weren't in the well... how'd you think the juice gets up to the part that's inside the coil?

There appears to be a bit of a gap between the coil and wick on the left side of the top pic...you may want to make your wicks a little bit thicker the next time you change them. Otherwise, looks fine. Does it vape well?
