i have the penelope up and running. things dont seem great/right, i getting a burntish taste at times and others its fine, theres no real sound coming from it at times as you would get with say a boge carto, but it is still producing vapour. the ohms reading on the provari was 1.6/1.7 but i tried it again just now 3 times and it read anything from 1.8 to 2.7. there are no errors showing. any ideas whats wrong?

are you sure its getting enough juice? open the juice flow until it starts to gurgle and then turn it back a touch

you havent run out of juice have you ? it may have done earlier but i dont think so, it was hard to tell what your putting in. ive took it of and theres plenty of juice in it, if i didnt have earlier will it have knackered the coil. it wont have been totally dry at any point. its reading 2.2/2.3 now but the supplied ready made should be 1.6 ish raggy.........

ok so if you are sure the tank has juice then screw down the juice flow shut... take it off your device and blow gently through in case there is any excess juice.... then pop it back on the device... open the juice flow one turn and see how it vapes

Your flooding it there is a fine line between dry and too wet Close the juice control a 1/4 turn and vape it a while, then if still not a lot of vaper close it another 1/4 turn and vape it for a while, and so on . It takes time to set up, you need lots of patience Good luck

I agree with the flooding, I open mine about 3/4 from shut, and then small adjustments from there, just a point, you do have enough juice in it?

thanks BF, i was initially using 3/4 as per blakeys instructions, i will go back to that and start again, with just small increments of change.
lyn it was fairly straight forward really, the ceramic part was pre assembled so made it a bit easier. i hadnt greased any of it but ive now greased with vaseline the top oring and threads, then cleaned it off.
ohms still at 2.4 though!!!!!!!!!

The type of fluctuations you are reporting raggy sometimes happen when you have coils that are touching or it could be that they are very close together and are being disturbed by the juice control when you turn it. The ready wire should give a coil of between 1.6 & 1.8ohms. It's worth a dismantle and starting again assuming you have another ready wire or other wire to use.

The resistance is the resistance raggy. The beauty of vv is that you adjust the voltage to compensate, as you know. At 2.4 I'd set the voltage at 4.0 to 4.2 to get around 7 watts.
If ever you close the juice control completely to refil her, do it with the penny upside down to avoid forcing juice into the ceramic.
