..had my DiD for a week now, Really Really happy rollin my own coils and the vape quality.
I normally vape 18mg on cartos or Vivi Nova's but on the DiD I found I was receiving too much Nic quick. So when vape mail finally brought me some 12mg of my favorite juice I thought I could handle it, lol. It's amazing that dropping down to 12mg I still approached the line, but I recognized the 'too much' feeling and stopped vaping. 'The line' is also easier to see coming on 12mg tho, thank gawd! I think to vape at the rate I like, on the DiD I'm going to have to drop the Nic a little lower than 12mg to match the 18 on Cartos and Vivi's. Totally insane! lol.
On Cartos, Vivi's and Dripping I vape around 8.6 Watts to 9 Watts. Above that, the taste goes funky singed yuk. On the Did I can vape over 11 Watts without distorting the taste negatively, Hahahaha.. I'm Running a 2Ω coil at 4.75 right now, 11.2 Watts! If I take it higher to 12 Watts I get a few good tasting hits and then a dry hit
For best temp & flavour I found vaping the DiD without a drip tip is really nice. I haven't had any hot juice splatters either, probably due to the DiD having its wick/coil off to the side and the center posts nut just bellow the drip tip hole. I don't think I'd do this with some of the other Genesis styles with center wick/coil set ups. The vape temperature is more to my liking. I always found the DiD's vape temp with a drip tip a little too cold for me compared to my Vivi's. So for now, I'm liking the Naked DiD! Oh, and the smooth Stainless Steel cap of the DiD feels like a womans warm nipple on my lips, minus the protrusion, lol.
While trying to get a hotter vape and more plumage I started to roll my coil loops closer to each other. This worked well and made great improvements. I think the trick here, to getting the max vape plume, is to have your coils just close enough that the bubbling off the wire just overlaps the bubbles of it's neighbour. To close tho, like you'd roll on a silica wick, it would start to dry hit. The VG/PG ratio changes the distance needed.
My theory today of why the vape isn't as hot as silica is Stainless Steel wick is absorbing more heat and silica reflects it better.
