3/2 was too hot, had to go in for surgery
Now all I can taste is burning keratin and epidermis LOL. And here I thought the taste of hand funk on cotton was bad

Silica with a filter tip is looking better every day
From my youth...
Miss Pall Mall was walking down Chesterfield Ave where she met Mr. Philip Morris.
They went to the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel and climbed into an Old Gold bed.
He stuck his King Size L&M into he flip top box and if she doesnt look like a Camel in 9 months I will be a Lucky Strike. Dont worry he used a filter tip.

Thanks BJ, does it alter the taste and what does the filter look like after you have used it?
I've been putting it off, but I get no throat hit to speak of with my AGA-T drilled to 1/16"
My Ego with CE4 has become a fav vape of mine if only because of the T.H.
Also, the flavor doesn't seem to be that great compared to my CE4.
Does anyone have an idea what's going on there?

I know this is blasphemy in this thread but i decided to fall back on my phoenix days of using cotton yarn for the wick. The twist, though, is that I'm using the solid mesh wick for exactly that...wicking. I'm going to see if the mesh wick will wick juice up and onto the cotton that's wrapped around it and routed to the other pole where my usual cotton yarn wick setup is.
I always get way better flavor and vapor with cotton but it doesn't wick up from a tank very well.
I just built it so I'll give it a day or so of regular duty and see how it turns out.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to why my 500 mesh wick performs so poorly? I've set up the coil to where there are no shorts or hot spots. The wick is 75mm rolled solid in a aga-t+, and I've been using this wick for about 2 days now trying to break it in. However, when I fill it with juice, and let it saturate and then fire it, it looks great for about 5 seconds, but then the top coil begins to glow. I am thinking that the wick isn't wicking quick enough. I'm not pushing mad power or anything.. about 12 watts. No coils have air under them, and I have not rolled the coil too tight. I am thinking that this is user error when rolling the wick, but I am not sure. I got this mesh from okc vapes. Is it poor quality mesh?
12 watts is mad power on a new wick, if the top coil turns red, you have a hot spot (short), bring it down to 6 watts and drip on the wick pulsing the power to get it isolated. Move the wick up and down a little also helps. Don't raise the watts until yo see vaper off all the wraps. Make sure you don't have a long run from your top post to the wick.

Alright, well I turned the voltage down a bit and will vape on that for a while longer. Though I really don't think this is a short. I just pulled all the liquid out and did a dry burn, and all the coils glowed evenly.
Can you post a picture of your wick/coil? Make sure the wick is not too far from the positive pole.

Of course! A picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you guys for the help.
The first picture is the picture of the coil. The second is when I'm firing the device and the problem it is having. And the third picture is after I had emptied the tank and dry fired. The coil was not adjusted between the second and third photos.

Could be a spacing issue (top 3 coils closer than the bottom two), but in my honest other opinion, you have a small short somewhere on the 3rd to 4th coil.
Translates into more energy running on the top 3 coils, results in that top most coil glowing first when wet.
Even if there isn't a short, your top coils are too close compared to the bottom two, resulting in the top 3 heating up more and vaporizing the liquid unevenly.
Try pulling the 2nd and 3rd coil down a bit, raise the bottom most coil up, and try to get a more even spread. The coils heat up more evenly this way. Good luck.

Thank you! Though I never got the 500 to work for me
400 is working great though. Oh well.So, I've been experiencing an odd phenomenon with my solid wicks. After just a few days use, they simply refuse to wick properly anymore. I'm running a 4/3 wrap of 28g kanthal with primarily a 50/50 blend juice. Am I getting VG buildup on the inside of the wick? Seriously considering moving to straw wicks again if this keeps up.
