Penelope Fever

[bluemagnum]

Blakey, you need to have a go at this. Twist 2 strands of resistance wire together, make them slightly longer than usual then build a coil as normal but do 1 or 2 more wraps. Just done both of mine, first 1 came out at 1.4, second at 1.1. Flavours brilliant.

Still having problems

Did manage to fire her up......... and it read 2.1ohms on the provari

so I then put the mouthpiece on and check to see if it drew.......... nothing........ so adjusted and then started to get an error message on the provari, removed the atty and tried again, still the same.

I did say previously that I'd mislaid the spacing ring, so got a o ring to see if that'd work, although its the right size I think it's too fat so to speak and is not lining up correctly. Will have to see if I can get one from GG UK before another attempt is made, my hands are cut to ribbons with all the twisting that has gone one

I am not letting this one defeat me, I will get this set up even if it kills me

Esme - "Hello neighbour, could you help me screw my Penelope?"
Neighbour - "Excuse me?"
Esme - "Sorry, what I meant was I can't get it in far enough"
Neighbour - "You what?"
Esme - "I have vaselined it and everything"
Slam

The worrying thing if is the neighbour responds with a big grin and a wide open door after hearing this

The worrying thing is the neighbour would be popping over more often than he does now..............which I'm trying to discourage, most of the neighbours are elderly and I do make allowances for age, but this male neighbour does make me feel uncomfortable at times........ he's rather too touchy feely

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

Glad your sticking at it esme these things are sent to try us.

Don't like the sound of your neighbour, my pet hate is people thinking its acceptable to touch you, my husbands, cousins husband came down a couple of weeks back for a party, first time I met him as they live up north, and he ran his hand through my hair, he nearly had my ego up his nose, the only reason I didn't respond was to not make a fuss and all that

"and he ran his hand through my ....." blimey Sandra, I was holding my breath there

I DID IT!!!! Spent the afternoon building and rebuilding her, making and remaking coils, playing with the ceramic housing etc, just taking my time and remaking and tweaking and I've finally finally got it...thick thick vapour like a steam train alright, full to the brim with pixie's cherrylicious! I'm so happy I could cry, please stick with it Esme, if I can get this thing working anybody can....thankyou everyone

Well done ellen #icon_dance#

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

Well done Ellen, so what did you find that cracked it for you

[maccafan]

Over-tightening the nut cracked it..

[Ellen]

I think part of it was the way I was putting the coils in the ceramic, I had the joins from the wires sticking through wick, so for example, when I test fired a coil it crackled and produced good amounts of vapour, but when I put the mouthpiece on i couldn't hear any craclking and hardly any vapour..as I think that was causing wires to touch places it shouldn't...so I made them better and made sure no wires were sticking out anywhere...Also had to find how to have the ceramic housing in just the right place
That's my guess anyway, it seems to have worked a treat

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

So long as you cracked it, thats all that matters, well done

[Ellen]

Now I know what people mean about needing a lie down after vaping on her, this is the best! And I've got quite a high resistance coil and one wick.....wait until I get a multi wick and a low resistance....

[esmecullen]

Yay glad for you!!

I think that may be part of my problem too hun, it would fire, I'd put the mouthpiece on and a minimum vapour, try and adjust and then I'd get an error on the provari, so I think wire from the coil may have been touching something...... so going to wait til I get the proper spacer (thank you for coming to my rescue Jason) and try this again, and also order new wick because I'm almost out lol

[jayjay]

Well done ellen. Really really glad for you sis!
