Your next mission, should you choose to accept it

[alanfinal]

No need to show off Skwoddy,one wicks enough for me now,though that looks a good mission

[Skwoddy]

It was surprisingly easy ( my first double wick ), not a single hotspot lol, the second hole is threaded so will need a thinner wick, either less mesh or the same more tightly rolled. It really did fall into place. However 2.4 ohms dropped to 1.2, not provari friendly but a mech mod will love it, would probably kill a riva battery stone dead.

My only issue is only one air hole can't serve two wicks, so although there's tons of vapour on a 7 watt kick, there's a throat hit to match. Not for the delicate throats nor faint hearted

Just flashing my wick...

Vaping really well compared to the clearomisers & cartomisers I've used, but with it being my first of this type (the first that I've seen in the flesh in fact!) it's hard to find a basis for comparison.

The flavour is really good but not getting the vapour production I've seen on some videos.

My LT is showing 1.5 ohms and at 3-4 second blasts the coil stays dark but I am getting a glow between wick and pin for anything longer.

Am thinking maybe it's a wicking issue and should try a slightly less dense wick - was a bit ambitious and wrapped up 80mm: fits nice and snug. Removing the filler hole screw doesn't make a difference.

Social life is about to get in the way again but more playing around tonight methinks!

Oh no, what have you done to me, I loved Vivi novas, but I'm back on one today for work, and I'm not feeling it at all I hope that I don't end up hating them as they are great sizeable tanks for on the move....

It's almost impossible to do a coil and mesh wick with 0.16 wire

Have a go at twisting it Des, your ohms wont suffer too much with an extra wrap, plus the added bonus of more surface area in contact with the mesh for vapour.

I take it the package from me didnt arrive yesterday

Yeah, that is a problem..A good one to have but a genesis kills all other stuff out there..

[lazydog]

the only thing that gives any taste after using geni's seems to be a mesh wick in a dripper makes a nice change and handy to have a vape whilst building the perfect coil/wick for the Aga

That's true to a point macca, but some flavours are better suited to a fiber wick. When that happens an Odysseus is the best on the market

[goofy]

Did my first SS mesh wick tonight.......... and it worked!! Woohoo!! Cheers for all the pointers guys, been going back and forth through the pages here

[Perpetua]

Congratz to all the first time Mesh Coil builders.

I'm loving reading the success stories.


Though I have to say, as wonderful as they are . . . my Vanilla Custard is better suited to a FG wick.
