So, following the rebuilding guide by Joe, I rebuilt my 2 of my 3 triton coils with Kanthal 32g wire, and either 2mm silica or 2mm ekowool cotton centered wick.
In either case I get a burnt taste. I have tried 5, 6, and 7 wrap coils, both compressed into a min-coil and uncompressed (non-touching wraps) as well as boiled my ekowool, and torched my silica.
The best results I have gotten have been the silica torched on a 6 wrap mini-coil. But even after 2h+ vaping it still hits burnt flavor, although less than the other attempts. The 7 coil ekowool barely hits. I'm pretty frustrated.
The silica I'm using is from LightingVapes, and compared to the Halo stock wick, it is way less see through. It still torches normal, but I couldn't see why else I'm getting the burnt flavor after so many vapes. The ekowool perhaps is just due to the cotton center which I don't like at all.
I'm considering moving to a different, more rebuild-able system due to this, as the trial and error and seemingly no end of the burnt flavor is really upsetting me. I love Tribeca so it's very annoying! Any tips? My coils are pretty much perfect. I've tried removing strands from the 2mm silica one by one, to no avail. The ekowool is pretty much a bust, plus being 2mm plus or minus .3mm it doesn't fit in the stock coil or comparable coil, and i use a different drill bit to mold the new coils. Still, it has a very cottony burnt flavor.
