How do you guys feel your flavor is when rocken a bottom feeder? I don't understand but for me i feel as tho a reg rda that im dripping has alot more flavor then when i put a bf pin in it. Idk if that is normal just looking for you thoughts on this.
Second question is do you guys who squonk regularly wick your builds differently? Lets say the exact same rda with the exact same builds one with a bf pin one a reg pin. Would you wick them differently? Again no right or wrong answers just looking to pick some brains. Thanks in advance

I don't do anything different, there is no difference, just the source of juice, from the bottom rather than the top. Some folks like a lot of wick in a regular dripper, but I don't wick any differently. If your having problems, let us know.

I find that a lot of that depends on the RDA.
For example, the Dead Rabbit is a great RDA and one of my favorites for squonking but the coils ride really high. On that RDA to much cotton and it doesn't wick well. I comb my cotton out a quite a bit in that one.
Then on the B2K, the coil is really close to the base so I don't thin it down as much if any.

For squonks I trim my wicks so they just touch the deck. You don't need the atty filled with juice, that's what the squonk bottle is for. When you squonk maybe squeeze the bottle a little longer to allow the wicks to get saturated. For dripping I leave them a hair longer, but I don't fill up the deck with cotton.

Everything is the same maybe i drip directly on the coils would that matter??
I bet the applied power isn’t the same in both setups. If the atomizer and build is the same, but different performance is experienced, kinda only leaves the power as the culprit. How the juice gets to the wicks doesn’t matter.

@BoomStick probably hit the nail right on the head.
I can take an RDA of of one mod, put it on another, set the wattage the same and get a completely different tasting vape.

The only other thing I can think of is if the squonk is not wicking properly.

It does, the flavor from a freshly painted coil is always going to be a little better than just wicking to the coil. Those first couple puffs from a freshly painted coil are the best. You can get this effect on some BF RDAs depending on their design. Some like the Wasp or Hadaly, I can squeeze juice so it will actually touch the coil and saturate the whole thing and let it suck the excess back into the bottle. You really can't do that with a Dead Rabbit or other RDAs where the coils are higher up without it trickling through the airholes.

One possibility is that your bf rda may not be wicked just right and it's not pulling enough juice into the coil. If your wick isn't saturated like it would be after dripping, then you're not going to get as much flavor. Or, you're just not squonking heavy enough to saturate the wicks. Pure speculation on my part without seeing exactly what you're doing though. Just trying to help.

I gotcha. Ok, then as far as I can figure, that kinda leaves what @BoomStick said...the applied power. What squonk mod do you use?

over squonking can lead to a less than ideal vape, as well. I wick squonkers where the wick just barely touches the deck...as mentioned above. If you over squonk, you're boiling juice...under squonk and you're running a bit dry. But, to answer your question...if the ONLY variable is a bf pin vs. a solid pin...then, no....there shouldn't be any difference at all. Seeing juice come over the coil doesn't necessarily mean your wicks are saturated. Sometimes they need time to soak in a little bit.

Also, these mods aren’t apple products. Just because two mods are set to the same watt setting, doesn’t mean they’re reading the coils the same or getting the exact same voltage to the coil. When fractions of a volt can make such a difference.......

I am noticing a trend of people saying when they wick for a squonk they only let the wick just touch the bottom of the rda. When i wick a reg rda i kinda fold it under a little bit. So of course i wicked a bf rda the same. Im going to try to shorten my cotten a lil.

In theory it would look like this. The only reason im not bf this is the ohm is to low

Honestly, I start to wonder if some folks live in a parallel-universe..

Look: I can take a squonk atty off the ds-style and throw it on the VT133 (dna200). Sure, it might dribble - so what? Vape? I diddle the wattage. I can swap N atty between squonkers or mods and it becomes "gee, change the power" (and clean the drips).

Facts:
  1. RDA expect juice in wells - and wick it up. Someone dribbles all over them to fill wells.
  2. RSA expect juice in wells - and wick it up. Someone squonks juice into the wells.
  3. RTA expect juice in the tanks - and wick it up. Someone fills the tanks.
So, the only difference I can envision is:
  1. Yer dumbass is pissing on the coil directly and expects the WICK to reflect the pissing;
  2. Yer watts vary for some dumbass reason.
Sorry if this sounds insulting, but it's been a trying day full of dumbassery and I really want to start using a hammer on people - I like my soylent green TENDER.
