Perfect advice that is exactly what my problem was, Vaping great now. Hard to imagine that over time the coil wouldn't catch up and soak enough juice, but it doesn't seem to without priming... Thanks again

Thanks, good info in here. I have been aware of the Penguin for some time and I must admit that the apparent convenience is intriguing. I'm a sucker for massive juice capacity. I don't want another DTL set up though. If the MTL isn't all that flavorful...I already have an option like that and it works well for me.
Have been using the Penguin for over a week and I am disappointed. Comparing with the other pod system (Envii, Juno, etc). The vape is pretty bland. No throat hit, no satisfaction at all.
The 0.2 coil seems to be better because it produces a warm vapor. You don't get that with the 0.6 coil.

I love the functionality of the Penguin. There's no juicing spitting in my mouth, the vapor seems relatively copious, even on the 0.6 coil, and when things are done right, there's no leaking from the cartridges. I did have one major flood that went through my Penguin and leaked out the bottom, but I think I failed to properly seat that coil into the cartridge. Fortunately, the Penguin still works just fine. I just blew out the leaked juice, wiped up the mess, and everything's back to "normal."
Unfortunately, "normal" mean lots of nearly tasteless vapor that suggests a nearly dry coil. I don't know, guys, I just cannot get any flavor out of these coils. So, today I find myself hitting my Plato, and, well, it's tasty.

It's so weird how some of us are getting great flavor from these coils and some are not. It makes me wonder if there is a glitch in the manufacturing process or something. The only coil I have had trouble with is the one that came with the kit.I love the functionality of the Penguin.

This Penguin is the most infuriating thing ever. Half of the coils are amazing and give this perfect, dense flavor with great wicking... and half are complete garbage, don't wick for .... and burn up what juice they do seep through instantly. If the coils were all like the good ones i've got from 2 extra 5-packs... this thing would be un-beatable.
As it is now i'm going to look at the Aspire Breeze with PCC / Envii Fitt / Sigelei Compak F1 as Mexico vacation alternatives. Not risking any of the BilletBoxes.

Old school tag (not sure how else to subscribe). This is one thread I really want to keep up with!
The things are so cheap, it's hard not to order one. The pure simplicity is almost too good to pass up (although I'd pay a few bucks more for VW or VV).
After the initial reviews, I want one. The only thing stopping me is that over-complicated ceramic coil - I'm concerned about leaks.
Oh,.. and the price of those weird coils....

The coils aren't ceramic, as of yet no leaks.Old school tag (not sure how else to subscribe

Ceramic wick? Maybe its difficult to make the density of the ceramic consistent, hence why some dry hit.
The wick is a cotton like material (most likely cotton) wrapped around a kanthal coil. This is inserted in a ceramic cradle that pops right into the eliquid cartridge.
It seems the problem lies with the coils. Consistency is ..... Some are great and others will dry hit constantly. The device really just needs some quality coils and it would be perfect.
I was about to report the same thing. The 0.6 coil included with the Penguin was bad. Dry hits and no flavor. Threw it out and put a new 0.6 coil and it's much better.
Has anybody used Nicotine Salts with the Penguin?

Yup. Both mine and the wife's stock (2) coils were junk. Replacements are better but not every one unfortunately. I have some Nude Nicotine's HIT salts coming in this week so i'm going to do some mixing at different levels and attempt to dial down the perfect % for the Penguin and the 0.6 coil. I'll post back when i've figured out a good mix.
What pg/vg ratio is everyone using? I've been using 30pg/70vg and wondering if I should try 50/50, especially with the .6 coil.
There has been ZERO leaking with this setup. Well, except for when I didn't seat the coil all the way and I had a little in the bottom of the mod, but it was minimal and cleaned up completely, both from the mod itself and from the bottom of the tank. It's nice because everything is so contained that the only thing that gets wet are the 2 contacts. It's a solid little device. It would be VERY hard to get leakage from the ceramic coil because of the way it plugs into the silicone housing. I have a spare cartridge on order just so I have a backup, but I have had no need to replace the cartridge so far. The coils, when they work well, last a really long time. I have 2 5-packs and I have only used 1 coil out of them so far. I've been on this one for 3 weeks.Old school tag (not sure how else to subscribe
