Just finished a new build on my DID. The second attempt..the first wasn't too good.
Built a 2.5 mm wick from 500 mesh, 37 mm X 65mm as i wanted to try that out...the coil is a 0.66 build, and apart from a nasty dry hit early on, even after wetting the wick...tried it too quickly, didn't let the wick do its job.
I watches several videos on these rta's and they said to fill the wick hope completely, but Vaslovik said she uses a 2.5mm wick so there is a little space round it...and that made sense to me, as i never usually completely fill the wick hole when i use mesh. Built the coil at 2.5mm and inserted the wick. Not even a trace of dry hit now.
Certainly lets the air flow a whole lot better, and is running superbly now at 26.7 watts or 4.2 volts. This coil is absolutely stable as well, whereas the first try the ohms was wandering a little and not working too great! Working excellently on my Calvert 18350 mod also!
And another first! Mixed my first batch of juice 2 weeks or so ago, and using that. Very nice nutty tobacco flavor, at 70/30 and 6mg. not too strong and very happy with it. I think a tobacco flavor juice suits the DID. May make the next batch around the 60/40 ratio though, may help with wicking a tad.
Thanks Vaslovik for the tips, would have been a lot harder without your help. A happy old feller here now!
Cheers!
