Why!?

[dragon]

Maybe someone can explain this one to me, because it is doing my head in

Why do I get wicking problems with my SID that I don't get on my other batteries. For example, the same clearo vapes fine on the iTaste Express or the spinner at 4V, yet after a couple of puffs on the SID it tastes burnt, even if I take it down to 3.5V!

I know that air flow can make a difference, for example the iClear16s are a tighter draw on the spinner than they are on my other batteries. After close inspection I explained that one myself, because the air slits on the top of the ego connection are smaller than on my other stuff. The SID has the same style slits as everything else I own, so it isn't that, and the draw is not tight.

It is absolutely worst with my mini davides, I can use them on anything and they vape with no problems at all. Stick them on the SID and they start to taste burnt. I don't get the sense that the SID is pumping out more power than it says it is, and I can take the power down to seriously wimpy vape wise, and still get the burnt taste.

IT MAKES NO SENSE!

I do mix my own juice in thick VG, but it has never given me problems until I got the SID. I tried a mix with more water in, and got the same result.

Any geniuses out there can pin it down for me?

faulty SID? pumping out more than it's saying it is?

That's the obvious cause, but I don't think that it's that, but I've been seriously busy, so maybe I haven't sat with it long enough. It does give a stronger vape than the others, but it does reduce when I take it down a notch, and still get the problem.

Okkies I figured it out I admit the last few days have been a blur and I am a bit cross eyed/fried.

The problem was that the battery was disconnecting (the spring thing on the bottom bit you screw in was slightly too short, so when I moved it around the battery was disconnecting for a second) Since the damn thing reverts back to Watts when you replace the battery, and I had been messing with it, then it was starting to send out 9Watts instead of the Volts I thought it was set at (and was until I screwed the clearomiser on, hence breaking the battery connection unknowingly. To make things worse it was only doing that sometimes and not every time, so I was understandably baffled )

My mixes can't take too much power, which bothers me not a jot, since I don't need them to. One thing I have learnt though since the heads in my mini davides are 2.5ohm (and I normally use the same voltage on them as I do the 2.0ohm iClears), is that they don't cope with my vg mixes nearly as well Since I only got the davides for things like Absinthe which slowly but surely eat away at the plastic on the iClears (doesn't crack them, but I worry about what I am vaping after they etch into the plastic slightly), then it's no big deal, I just have to keep the power at reasonable levels

I think it is because of the way the liquid feeds into the davide wicks through small holes, the thicker liquid obviously doesn't get to the wicks fast enough.

Anyhows, I'll stop rambling now No wait just have to have a quick jab at @freefromsmoking FFS

Might be a lot simpler just to change my tag but then the newbies would think I was a right grumpy barsteward!

FFS FFS, no i'm not calling you twice

The saga continues ......

Idk if I'm just being thick, or if I have a faulty one ..... or a combination of both, but I stretched the spring thing, and now it doesn't do it as often, but now when it resets it says I am vaping at 3V. I don't have any other devices that go down that far, but the vape isn't that shabby, so I'm guessing it isn't actually 3V. Basically, either SID or I is going senile
