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.ive done that wrong several times tonight when making sure it had juice, do you not need to close it down when refilling?. raggy.........

I always close the juice control fully before refilling

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. ive no more ready wire, but have some wire that perpy sent with it. i have: 0.2 silver non res 0.2 nickel non res 0.2 NC resistance 0.16 NC resistance they are close together and could be touching i suppose. what is the best way to empty the tank or is it ok too finish this one tank with a dodgy wire up. raggy............. Close the juice control and then remove the top cap and just empty the juice into a container or bottle. That resistance wire you have is perfect raggy, use the silver wire for the no resistance for this build. Tip- when you cut the length of resistance wire run a lighter flame up and down it till it glows orange, this will temper it and make it a little more pliable when it comes to joining wires and winding coils.

I've just built my Penelope for the first time tonight and thanks to this thread it's now vaping perfectly, I had the juice control open way too much. Just one quick question, if I'm not using it for a while should I fully close the juice control?

Just one quick question, if I'm not using it for a while should I fully close the juice control? I never close the juice control till I'm about to re-fill and I happily leave it like that over night. When ever you do close it though make sure penelope is upside down so that the juice drops away from the wicks and doesn't get forced into the ceramic

I cut 5cm for a 2ohm coil, I only use about 3mm each end for the connections.

I probably imagined reading somwhere you had to close it, I've had so much info overload over the last few days I can't remember what's real and what's not.

I never close the juice control off, if I'm not vaping either the Penelope or Odysseus . . . never had any flooding issues.

blakey, you said use the the nc resistance wire i have but what one .16 or .2 im guessing the .16 as with the spread sheet i have this comes out at 34mm for 1.8ohms so 40mm minus the joints.
raggy...........

Nope, for penelope I use the .20 wire raggy, it allows you to use a longer length to achieve the same resistance that a shorter length of 1.6 would give. More wire = an extra coil which in turn = a more even burn.

ok thanks blakey, can the joins of the wires go past the 2 top far edges of the ceramic diameter or must the whole wind section sit only in the grove.
raggy............
