Raggy, the coils that I made in those pics are spaced out to fit inside penelope evenly, they can be made much closer together without problem. I seem to get a more even burn this way using GG atties. When I wick a bulli I make the coils so that they barely have a gap between them. The most important thing is that you don't make them too tight so as to strangle the wick and you don't make them too loose that you end up with dry spots and hot spots and a metalic taste when you vape. The pin isn't required when using thicker guage wire on thicker wick but it will definitely prevent strangling s maybe worth trying and seeing if it works for you. There's not much of a crackle with penelop e but a nice swishing sound. thanks blakey, see, its me expecting this huge whoosh but i get as you say a swishing (good description), i was going to say gurgle but its not, its much less than that. the vape itself is good ish, now ive nearly sorted the juice flow (now back to 3/4 on PG). Think of it like this, the Penelope's coil is sat in a nice thick clump of stainless, the boge's coil is sat in a piece of recycled bean tin. The thicker metal reduces the noise. thanks BM, im realising its a totally different vape and method, as yet i would say its not great just yet but ok to good. ive had a good few mishaps along the way which wont be helping. i wasnt turning it upside down to shut down and when i did turn it upside down to refill i then hadnt realised and then forgot that when you undo the top cap it can also turn the juice control. i was then filling with the juice control open thus total flooding out the bottom end, i have done that 3 times learning curve and concentrating a bit more helps, slow is good. raggy..........[/quote] I keep forgetting to close the juice control before filling. So you are not alone on that one

I think you can compare it to a cheap car to a Ferrari............. the difference in the engine sounds................. that how I think of the sound penelope makes when vaping............its not as loud but the power is so much different As for the forgetting to shut the juice control............... guilty on 3 counts lol

I was using a Dual Coil Tank before getting the Penny and I did miss the crackle at first. Seemed really strange having hardly any noise at all. Saying that, I used Bel's Vivi Nova yesterday and got a loud pop out of it. Nearly jumped out of my seat I think you can compare it to a cheap car to a Ferrari............. the difference in the engine sounds................. that how I think of the sound penelope makes when vaping............its not as loud but the power is so much different its strange as i was judging the vape by sound and not overall performance. i do like the sound though of the boges as its sort of a guide to its working properly. the penny you have to judge differently, im learning that now. raggy..........

Perhaps it's me, but I don't analyze any of this . . . I'm also not bothered by how a coil looks as I don't see it, as long as it vapes how I like it to and doesn't leak that's pretty much all I ask, of any of the rebuilds. The Provari or any VV device makes up for the short comings in my ohmage guesswork, so that's sorted. Sloppy tart I know.

What mm wick is that ragjoy? It looks very thick, but that's probably just the picture. It looks like its burned to me. I had wicks that looked like that. Also the ends look very dry, I drip some drops down the sides too

Also the ends look very dry, I drip some drops down the sides too ellen, that is just standard 3mm wick from GG, it is dry and burnt, i have dried after using it for 30+ hrs. just really trying to get an opinion on the coils ie: good, bad or very bad. raggy........

The coils look very neat to me, but someone more experienced can judge, the join on the left is on top of the wick, was that causing you any shorting problems?

What are you using for connecting the wire, hard to make out on the photo? im using .2mm silver non res with .2mm NC res. is this not meant to look burnt after 30+ hours?. raggy............

As long as the joins aren't protruding and you're not getting errors then that's fine. Yes I would imagine it would look burnt after that length of use
