Just making sure I understand, so if I use Scott's method with the wick I have now, it will make the wick too thick?
Or do I just need to make sure only one piece goes down the channels?

If you're using the supplied wick, then you should be fine with just a single piece - just make it up like the first wick and you'll be good to go.

Adding more wick gives more surface area for you to wind coils around - which in turn gives more vapour. The only downside is that you'll get through your juice quicker than you used to.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Peekay

Just made up a 2 x 1mm and 1x 2mm with some new 0.212 wire, jesus this thing is smoking like a cuban cigar, it has allowed me to drop the voltage, have more turns on the wire and is really very good! This one took me less than 5 mins:



I tidied up the coils after it was installed so they were not so bunched up

Perform great with a multi wick configuration don't they

[Ellen]

And now she's not working again didn't do anything to her, put her down for a rest, almost no vapour and she's leaking out of the two holes at the bottom, if I blow down the mouthpiece a lot of juice comes out onto tissue paper, I've closed up the juice control, may have had it open too much....
Now what to do?

[Gaz1888]

Close her up , clean her up. You only need to open the juice control a Half to one turn

[Ellen]

? I had closed the juice control, and obviously cleaned the juice off, several times now, that's what I said, I had done that and was still having this problem. I accept that I had the juice control opened way too much, but quite honestly it feels and sounds like I'm sucking on a straw it's so airy. Opened juice control to get some vapour

This is a blakey special
2mm + 1mm for main wick
and 2mm buffer section for inside the ceramic
.2 kanthal




They vape like a steam engine

[blakey]

And ellen, opening the juice control has no effect on the draw, it only lets too much juice inside. Adjust the ceramic housing like I told you

[Gaz1888]

You can ajust the airflow by moving the bottom part up for more air or down for less air.. dont go down too far as it wont connect with the battery

Ok and I'm going to when I make a new coil, I don't understand why she has stopped working and started leaking though? Have I flooded it?
How do I safely open her up without getting covered in the juice that's in there now?

[Gaz1888]

Take the top part off..not the mouth piece the bit that sits on the tank and use a syringe and a blunt needle to get the juice out thats what id use

Remove top cap and pour any remaining juice back into the bottle it came from
Yes you flooded it, that's why it stopped working
