<p>I can somewhat confirm this. I had an old Astro bottle lately which had a great smooth flow but stopped flowing after 4-5h. It also had screen and since I remembered the flock bottles which had a rather poor flow had them as well I tried replacing the screen whith a coil which resulted in lots of mf bubbles in the wax. So I put the screen back in and it was back to silky smooth flow...</p>
