Howdy Trippyville,
Been a big day and will be a busy weekend but wanted to share a bit of good news that may benefit Amber as it made my day.

I had a major break-through on the ERA No Flavor front, after building numerous (9) different wick-n-coil configurations, I've finally discovered what was going on. However, I'll make an exception and that is that I need to build yet another successful wick-n-coil to prove my hypothesis but the issue was fairly obvious I just kept ignoring it. So on to the discovery.

I had been given a multitude of advice trying to help me with my issues and I've read every suggestion, I then researched every reported wick-n-coil design as well as a whole bunch of reviews and ultimately I believe it was Grimm Green's review of the Phoenix or A7 that finally turned on the light. Grimm mentioned to be careful to pull the coil away from the negative and positive poles or you run the chance of shorting out the last few wraps of the coil. That's when the epiphany struck and I remember firing my coil and seeing only the center wraps glowing brightly. I thought the wick was just impeding the heat but NO I was shorting out the last couple of wraps on each end of the coil. So that means even on a 6/5 wrap I only had 2 wraps doing all the work.

So last night I wrapped a 6/5 coil and used the design Cyclin suggested some weeks ago. When I got the coil and wick pulled into the posts, snugged and screwed down tight, a dry-burn showed the same issue of the last 2 coils on each end not glowing orange. So I loosened the screws, backed the leads of the coil out about 1/32" and retightened the screws. This time when I hit the power the entire coil glowed. I then trimmed the leads, juiced the coil-n-wick and 5 pulls later the flavor started coming on strong. So if your not getting flavor from a properly wrapped and powered coil then check the coil to post spacing cause this is way too easy to miss. Whew!

Here's that design Cyclin suggested. It's a bit easier than my other design and perfectly traps the juice on both sides of the center connector. It's essential a single strand of 3mm folded on the end where the coil gets wrapped. The strand is trimmed even with the bottom of the ERA base right in front of the coil. This lets you place the wick-n-coil and after getting everything set, you can cut the strand off after tightening the loop around the center connector. Very little wasted wick with this method. Brew
