I am Still having issues with my GS Air coil rebuilds tasting Nasty for that first tank and it's very frustrating. I am using 6 wraps of 30 Kanthal on a 1/16 drill, Rayon and the Dollar Store gauze, dampened for 2-3 wraps. I both anneal the wire and do a short dry burn. The coils are right at 1.5 ohms. I put a drop of juice on each slit and 5-6 down the pipe and Still let it sit 20-30 min.
Before powering, I turn the air to full closed and make sure I'm getting some gurgle, I Assume this means the coil area is WET.
From the first hit for about the first full tank it is NASTY, like slightly burned arm pit. If at the end of the first tank I take the coil out wipe it off, wash out the GS Good, and refill, almost all the Nasty is gone. If any lingers it disappears into the 2nd tank. Even more mysterious is I've looked pretty closely at the last few rebuilds during disassembly. The wraps aren't burnt and neither are the wicks that I can see. Now, I soak hell outta mine for several hrs in really hot water but still, nothing Appears to be burned that I can see when I take them back apart.
I am at a loss as to what is happening with that first tank. It is Sooo nasty it makes me want to consider going back to Turbo'd Evod tanks even with the iS30. With those rebuilds, I may get 1 or 2 hits of almost nasty then it clears and is fine. Of course with those, I can pull the stem, Totally Wet the coil and make sure the first hit, that the coil is soaked. I get a Heck of a lot of vapor from my Turbo Evods. Honestly, with them only costing about $3 each for a tank, I wonder it the GS is Really 4 time better (for the money). Yeah, it's Better but I'm not sure the way *I* use the GS that it puts out 4 times more Vape Or Flavor. This 1st tank Nasty issue is really crimping my love for what otherwise is a great tank.
Anyone got any ideas here?
