Delay in firing

[fiddleshe]

I have found that no matter which cotton I use or rayon I get a funny taste with it. So, after much research and reading, and before putting the tank back together, is to drop ejuice onto the coil and saturate the wicking as much as possible(not a mess tho) and fire it again and let it smoke for a few seconds. I sometimes repeat this process twice. It removes any funny taste I get from the cotton.

I will try to remember that when I replace the wick in a few days.

Nope. I will try that when my cotton gets here.

Ah, I didnt realise you had no spare cotton, my apologies to you.

I'd rather not use cotton but for now that's all I know to use. I know there's silica and rayon but I have no clue what size to order.

Try a new build, 28 awg, 1ohm, start at 12 watts. Still a delay? Try anothet mod. Work? If so, clean up Tesla as stated earlier.

I'm not familiar with your mod, is there a.preheat circuitry? Does your atty wiggle. Check & or adjust +pin..

I got mine from amazon, but if you don't have prime, I heard that Sally's carries it.

You are working with an unverified build, which makes troubleshooting problematic.
The Russian is an easy atty to build, & work with..

I'm not buying that cotton. I'm sure it has pesticides in it.

I don't think Rayon contains pesticides.
However if you have evidence to the contrary, please share.

Lol I just saw cotton. I didn't read the description that says it's 100% rayon. The name LIES!!

Why does it lie? Just because they name it cellucotton doesn't mean they are lying. You mentioned rayon and i provided a link to a rayon that many many members here at ecf use and most love it. Just providing info for you.
geez.

 

[fiddleshe]

I'm just joking.

 

[fiddleshe]

I'm just joking.

And I do appreciate the info. Going to head to sallys to see if the have it.

coil could be getting gunked up... the build up of gunk acts as an insulator ( heat wise) and slows down the sizzle speed.

 

[fiddleshe]

I got some cellucotton. So I need to do anything to prepare it for use? Or just use as is?

 

[fiddleshe]

The problem was a massively burned wick and coil so bad that the coil could not be cleared of burned on gunk or turn red hot. Everything tastes delightful now. Whoever said it was right easy to build.

 

[fiddleshe]

Firing at 11 watts 1.4 ohms now with cellucotton.

Even with my set up it takes a second to sizzle. I'm running 80 watts on a .14 quad coil. It just takes time to heat up even with thin wire
