Thank you Troll , I knew you come to the rescue. You don't specify but I am assuming you are using a 2.5mm bit. And yes, you are right, there is sometimes a little bit of leakage into the base which might interfere with the ohm reading.
Yes it's a 2.5mm, if you click on the link in that post it will take you to Stem Engine showing the specs on the build. Others build with 28g but I find it a little too flimsy when trying to run a wick through the coil. Verticals work in it as well and provide a straight up airflow, you have to have the negative coil lead on the bottom so it won't short out against the chimney. I couldn't get enough wick tight to the coil, so I didn't have much luck with a vertical build. Dual coils in the Rose are just a waste of battery power, much easier to wick but too hard on the power for what you get out.
I use the split wick method, mount your coil and pull the wick through on the diagonal. Then instead of folding the wick back over itself and around to come out the other juice channel. I split the wick (Rayon or KGD) tail in half and pull the halves out each channel. Trim off the excess but you don't have to have it razor flush with the opening. The scissors I use leave a tiny bit, this little excess lets me know how far to screw on the chimney. Juice up the wick, fill the tank by moving the chimney up a few mm so when you push sideways on the DT end, the chimney will tilt to give you space between it and the tank.
Screw the base onto the tank and screw in the chimney, I just screw the chimney on till I start to feel that little bit excess wick providing resistance. I have run all different ratios of juice through it this way and have never had it leak, gurgle or dry hit. If the juice is high VG I sometimes tighten the chimney to the resistance point then unscrew a little less than 1/4 turn.
You'll know the spot, there should be bubbles rising with after each vape.
Busardo's review of the Rose is good for a watch and a laugh, especially the opening. Turns into a comedy of errors as it progresses. The guy is so long winded...
Also, here is Eden Mods Split Wick Tutorial where then bend the cotton back over itself.
Hope you get it vaping good, the Rose is one of the top flavor tanks out there.
