Welp, the new mod is a bust!
Had a very very bad night.. Was almost threw with the pictures for the new mod and there went the battery on the camera.
So while i was waiting for it to charge is when everything fell apart.
I noticed the atty i was using had a hard draw and was thinking "Doh", its probably clogged and the air passages needed a good blow out. So i gave it a quick 2 blows threw the top end to try clearing out the bottom of the atty where the holes are.. That did no good.. then it dawned on me that i have not needed to clean the attys in a long while and its prob good for a cleaning.. i used to clean them once a week and rotate them out durring. I tried blowing it out some more.. Being causious not to run the atty super dry in the HV device i grabbed my Protege and ran it with the atty to get it nice and wet again.. no good. No good vaper! I thought to myslef, Crap i killed it!
Grabbed the multimeter and noticed the ohms was in the upper 8 range! Damnit!
So i grabbed another used atty and right off the bat i noticed a damn major harsh taste.. WTH! Looked at the cart and its wet. I then tried a thinner HV slug and the same. Then tried another atty and the same! Then i grabbed the original atty again and tried it at 6+ volts and bam! Theres the good vapor and taste again.. Tested the ohms on the atty again and it reads somewhere in the 4+ range.
So.. I guess whats going on is that i'm liking a run down 510 atty at 6+ volts and thats why it was runing good since last night with the new mod if that makes any sense. Runing a normal 510 atty thats runing good at 2.8-3.2 ohms is runing that much more hotter at 6 volts. Thats why i get the nasty harsh taste with a normal atty and the run down atty is probably actually runing in the 5 volt range.
The new HV slug works perfect with 5volts but not with 6+ volts..
Well thats all i can tell at the moment. I'm pretty much crushed.
On another note, i've heard that someone out there is making 510 attys that run at 3.5 ohms so they run better on high voltage devices. So say you have a 6+ volt mod, with the tweaked ohms of the HV 510 atty it will actually run at around 5volts insted.
I guess i'll be wanting those attys!
Would be nice if there was a way to quickly run down a good atty into the upper 3 ohm range.. i thought maybe runing it dry a couple of times and that didnt work.. tried it some more and didnt get a change at all in the ohms.
So.. with all that said.. i guess my work is still cut out for me to get this blue foam to wick quick enough for 6+ volt mods. I'll fool around with it some more but i dont know what else to freakin try!
God this sucks bad to go from "I'm finally done and happy to total devistation!
How do people use 510 attys with 6 volts??? I cant stand dripping as its too messy and thats how i killed 2 attys is from dripping too much and blowing them out and on the next drag.. Dead atty! hehe.
P.S. Forgot to add that i now know why a 510 at 3.7v seemed too weak to use anymore and its cause i was using that run down 4+ ohm atty with it.. lol. Thats why i was'nt getting much vapor at all. Confused as i remember checking the atty a couple of times through out last night to see if the atty was burning out cause i was using it so much and i swear it read around 3 ohms. :/
