Penelope Fever

[esmecullen]

Oh no!! Poor fishy

Had to get some flea and worm treatment for Ripper from the vet today, poor little furry must have picked up some fleas when out, he's been scratching Had to get some spray for the carpet & furnature just in case....... dont come cheap from the vets

[Ellen]

Vets don't half nag about flea & worm treatments and they're both pricey, they recommend flea treatment every 6 weeks, not at those prices! Nothing better than a good scratch

I never ever dreamt in a million years that when I started vaping and getting into rebuildables, that I'd get excited about buying wire Ellen.

But, I've my little selection which reassures me that whatever happens in the world, I can make a coil. None of it will be wasted, it'll all come in at some point.

[esmecullen]

Its quite exciting perpy thinking what can you buy next for enhancing your vaping

[Ellen]

That's very true Perp. I do like knowing that I have everything here to make more coils than I could use for a long time.
I remember my first couple of weeks when I was burning through cartos and was down to my last one desperately awaiting a delivery of more and worrying that I might not be able to Vape

[Perpetua]

And that's the beauty of any rebuildable Ellen, being secure in the knowledge that you can rustle yourself up something to vape on.

Once you've done the initial outlay, you're set up for a bit as you ( we ) get better at coil building, then the wastage becomes less and less as well.

I cant wait to have another go at this, was going to try tonight but feeling tired as a busy day. Think it will be good that once it is all together, I can experiment with it, just need to get to first base

[Perpetua]

You'll get there Esme, wise to leave it until you're ' fresher ' . . . I've made that mistake in the past, ploughed on when I wasn't feeling in the right frame of mind and regretted it.

Look at how far you've come already.

Sure

I followed Blakey's instructions on this thread and it worked quite well.

Just waiting for my clear tubes to arrive now.

Now most have thier penelope's up and running, a couple of tips for use.
Never remove the top cap without first closing the mouthpiece/juice control or juice will enter the ceramic cup
When you close the juice control ALWAYS turn penelope upside down first, this drains any juice away from the wick chamber so that it will not be forced into the ceramic channels by the closing action of the mouthpiece. So close it whilst penelope is upside down
If you encounter gurgling or flooding then close the juice control and remove penelope from you battery, place some tissue over the battery connecter and blow through the mouthpiece to clear the tubes, clean out the juice well on your mod/battery if juice has leaked into it and replace penelope. Then vape with the juice control closed for a little while. When any surplus juice has been consumed/vaped re-open the juice control.
Take care when building your coils and joining your wires, keep things tidy and minimal. A couple of extra minutes taken here will save you a lot of trouble when assembling.
Remember that the ceramic is extremely fragile and should be treated as such, there is no reason to put it under strain at any time other than when it's center nut is being tightened. There is little reason to remove the ceramic again once fitted, even for cleaning.
Cleaning is simple, just hold the ceramic housing under a hot tap.

If anyone is stuck and is too embarrassed to ask questions here then you can always PM somebody and ask for help. You won't find a more helpful bunch anywhere.

For anyone who has ordered the clear tubes, how long did they take to arrive?

Mine were posted from Greece on Monday.
