@ ob: What voltage are you starting at?
Start at the lowest voltage you can.

Sometimes I have a short that causes an error code immediately upon firing the button
Sometimes it only gives an error code at the end of a long, long drag
Sometimes I get no error code at all, but I know something is wrong because it tastes like crap and the ohms read WAY off (I always check the coil minus the wick first)
So, maybe not
Just thinking about a top coil eating through the mesh, that really sounds like a short to me. Why is that coil getting hotter than the rest?

I think .8 ohms for 5 wraps of 28g is correct and not shorting just playing with fire. Very low ohms are very sensitive to voltage, even .1v makes a difference. Bring that voltage down to 3v that is still over 3 amps.
You know Ob, when I get all frustrated, I rip it apart, make a new wick, torch/juice it a few times, grab my packet of rolling paper/training wheels, put a layer of paper on there and calmly and slowly wrap a nice soft lightered piece of kanthal lovingly around it, flash it up a few times, blow off the ash, fill with juice and tell yourself over and over that genny devices don't completely suck...there are times when I can rebuild my genny's drunk on horseback wearing boxing gloves then there are times....
emonty's 5/6 28g on a larger 70mm wick was only 1 ohm so ob's 5 on 60mm looks right on .8 ohms.
I just got 60mm into a Line and it's just lovely...what's Del Boy's recommendation again?...21mm I think?
I'm running 500/30 on a ZAU tonight. So far it seems pretty good.... 30 AWG seems a lot harder to coil then 32. I had to remove that weird clear thing in the ZAU wick hole to fit it (what the hell is that?!?!). Probably fit about 60mm in there - I didn't measure so I'm not sure.
Thanks to all the pioneers on this in here. It's stuff like this that keep these forums interesting (for me, at least).

Bj. 3.7 volts. Using it on a non vv right now
Quigs. I swear I almost gave up on Genny's today for good I was so annoyed.
Evil. Why are we not hanging out? Your local!

It is a insulator. Used to help with shorting. Meaning preventing them.
I have to say so far, I'm not crazy impressed or noticing a huge difference with the larger wicks. That being said, I'm still using #400 as my 500 is taking forever to get here. I'm hoping that I have the great success the rest of you are having when it shoes up.
Heh, you know where to find me!
The improvement is incremental. You don't have to worry about the angle of the device and leaking is less of an issue. I've only had this going for a little while, but I'd say thin walled wicks can perform about as well - you just have to regulate how you tip the unit to change the flow of liquid.
Insulator, eh? I should really look in the HoH thread more often...
ob: 3.7 v on .8 ohm is 17 watts most juices burn. More wraps or lower voltage. I have had vg actually burst in flame at 17 watts. Take that coil to 1 ohm and 13 watts and you should see a big difference.

Yes 5/6 wrap, but as it is 4 full turns and two times a half I call it a 4 wrap. As the resistance went up because gunk has build up on the coil it now reads 1 ohm. On the provari I get it working at 3.7 amp, the provari has a limit of 3.5 amps but it works, dunno why but not 100% consistent. Anyway not going to run it on the Provari anyway, I prefer to use a mechanical mod for these kind of setups.
Ok here is the proof for anybody doubting the Provari cannot run higher then 3.5 Amps.
It is not 100% stable as a small short will give an error.

I don't use anything, just wrap it around the wick then space them out with my nails.

Am still waiting for mine as soon as will get it I will try it on my DID as I think it's not work as I want . I think it will take another week until 500 mesh will arive to me . but my eyes is on this thread always to see what u guys advice .
For those who have a problem with a long negative leg you might try just sticking the neg leg down into the wick hole. I do that all the time and just eliminate the neg post. A tight wick in the hole holds it and makes good contact.
Did not think it would be possible but just got 100 mm of #500 wick in a 2.5 mm hole.
