Very quick penny question.

[jayjay]

I'm sure someone told me, to tighten draw, have the centre post sticking out the bottom of the penny a tiny amount. (which makes sense coz of the air holes getting closed on the shoulder of the mod)

However I find it a tighter draw if I have that centre post sticking out further, and more airy draw the less it sticks out? Am I right?

#attachment# Sticking out less (unscrewing it) makes it tighter for me hun, that's what Blakey advised me to do

im with Ellen on this ...probably dependent on the battery its used on tho

[jayjay]

Cheers ellen,
That makes sense coz it blocks off the air holes as was explained to me.

But when I had a zero ish gap between penny and mod, I found it really airy.

Then I done opposite and had that bad boy pin sticking out the bottom of the penny say 4mm and it seems to have tightened it.
So even though I have a gap between penny and provari of say a good few mm, and I can see the full circumference of those air holes, it feels tighter. Can you give it a go to see if my mind is playing tricks?

[jayjay]

Ok if youve already tried it dont worry, but that is very odd? I'm unsure if im feeling the love to be honest. Hhmmmm, I may just leave it stickkee outtee. If it feels tighter to me thats the main thing I guess! ???

I still find it quite airy even with unscrewing the ceramic housing/centre post. When I did a bit of looking around it seems the Penny is known for being an airy draw, so I also do Blakey's other suggestion which is to put on a plinth and screw it upwards towards the Penny, that probably covers the air holes you're mentioning ??? That seems to make a massive difference too. But then that is on a twist, I don't know how it would work on a provari, hopefully Blakey will take a look in this thread

I always understood that the more of the Penelope contact post you had sticking out, then the airy the draw would be Jay?

Using mine on a Provari, I've no more than a 1mm showing so it's a pretty flush fit, but enough for some airflow and the draws about right for me.

[Ellen]

JayJay, slightly off topic, but I was also going to mention that wick you gave me that you got from Cam? How are you getting along with it? I couldn't get it to wick properly at all ???

[Gordy]

if you find it too bad then filling one of the air holes on the battery connector with blu tack will help

Blu tak on that ££££ amount of kit LOL

it wont hurt her ...honest

[jayjay]

I'm not sure what that wick was ellen. I never tried any of it, I just handed you the bag I never tried any of it. Or at least I dont think I did. I wicked my penny with something but it wicks well. But I got 3 lots of wick from vape fest. The stuff I gave you was the thicker stuff that I got from cam right?

Maybe the penny is just too airy for me. I dont think it helps going from a tight ggts to the penny, I really notice it.

That's what mine is set at, lucky first time, works ok for me
