Digiflavor Siren GTA

[Katdarling]

Oh man!! I'm sure I've totally forgotten, too. I've been running this little Digi for nearly 10 months straight. I've only had to rewick it 4 times and it's seen many a ml. Mine's still kicking but I do believe that I'm getting better mileage than before by using unflaved.

I would, but I like the flavor from the Siren (unlike SOME here, cough cough cough).

I use my KF3 "Fatty" for my "Uncola". Never did get great flavor from the 3's, me. Works great for "Un" though.

Folks & strokes.

 

[Katdarling]

Not looking to necessarily stroke folks, but I find the KFs tastier on all counts. I may have sipped the Un-Kool-Aid, but it just might be the smaller chamber idea.

Or not. Who knows. I don't know. I love my vapes. (THAT, I DO know.)

Um... what was that again?

Got my 22 yesterday. The first couple tries at wicks were monumental failures. Found this thread and there was a recommendation way back. Since I use 2mm coils I don't have enough wick on the tails so I cut some short cotton pieces that I packed the channels with after running the tail through. No leaks. This thing is a machine. Playing with the bubbles is worth the price of admission.

Here's a pic of my Siren22 (V1) on my HΩ Wrecker G2. I have just recently re-wicked and Dry Burned my 4mm coil and put in a new KGD (11mm/13mm width) wick, I have 3 tank fulls on this wick and had 19 on the previously used KGD wick. What I am experiencing now is the ability to change my air flow from ½ of the small hole, to any hole I want to without having to deal with a sloppy air flow ring. I can go from ½ of the smallest hole to any hole I want, and that air flow ring stays DRY. Marvelous !! I can now say, and feel, that I have conquered my seepy Siren. I have done the "O-ring Fix", Tightened the center positive post, changed the top and bottom glass tube O-rings. Sometimes it just takes work and thought to get your equipment to working in top form. Others might not have to do all that I did to get theirs up and running Good.

The other is my Hohm Slice with my "Micro" Coppervape Hussar w/1.3mm air tube installed. Those are my "Home Vape" setups.

The Siren has a 4mm coil/KGD and is running at 12 watts/93°C/4.2 volts/XXX Mode/12.5 FSK/Kanthal A-1 28g single strand wire/5 wraps.

 

[52anddone]

I've just went back to a 3.5mm Kanthal coil using 28g single wire. I don't notice any practicle difference in using 3.5mm coils or 4mm coils. I've got 3 tank fulls thru this 3.5mm KGD build and it's dry as can be around the air flow ring, and the flavour is Top Notch. How are ya'll doing with your Big Coil Siren builds ??

Edit: The above is predicated on the proviso that when using 3.5 and 4mm coils they be completely filled with wicking, tightly wicked, but not Super Stuffed full. The wick channels are approx. 5mm wide on my Siren 22, so figure on at least that much in depth for the wick thickness also. Remember that cotton will expand a bit, but not by a large amount, and Rayon will shrink a bit.

 

[Katdarling]

I've not done a "big build" yet, but I do notice that now that my tank has GULPED 10 fills, it always and invariably leaks right after filling. A few hits and paper towel wraps later, it's fine.

Oddness?

 

[52anddone]

Are you using a 3mm coil ?? When I was using a 3mm coil I had to cram in as much KGD as I could, and even then I, more times than I liked, had seepage to deal with after re-fills Kat.

I'm on my Tablet this evening, so please excuse any messups in my posts. I think I'll get out of here for now, I don't really like using this tablet all that much, I'm a computer type of guy. Catch me later.

Morning all! I've had the Siren 25 for ages, but forgot about it and never put a build in until last night. 3mm, 7wrap, 28g ss316.

 

[Silver Dove]

I stayed with 3mm but changed the Orings....but but but... lil bit of confusion... checked the previous O ring posting to re order ... but noticed I had previously ordered from another source as OD sizes.. but when I checked those links.. they refer to the sizes as ID... which seems a lil bit not quite right ! cos the ones I got fit nicely .. or do things just get all bent out of shape down under

 

[kydo99]

can anyone confirm the o-ring size for the top of the glass please?
mines a bit worse for wear and misshaped, looks to be 1mm c/s and 15mm or 16mm I.D.
but not 100% sure.

edit; i`ve been using 3.5mm I.D. 28g spaced kanthal 6/7 wraps personally,
all been good but i`m dry burning and re-wicking before every tank needs refilling.
i feel better using a 3.5mm now over a 3mm purely because i don`t feel i have to cram the coil as tight with cotton and there`s that bit more in the wick channels.

Hi Cosmic,

As promised, please see links above to o-rings needed for the Siren 22 and almost all o-rings needed for the Siren 25. These are all available at The O-Ring Store.

Here is the definitive listing of O rings... my mistake was that I thought the sizes as listed were OD measurement.. so I bought 1.5 x 22mm OD but they fit for the bottom

 

[kydo99]

i looked on that list but kind of thrown myself a little i think with trying to measure my misshaped o-ring myself
(admittedly with a tape measure too )
i was thinking the 18mm that's on the list has got to be too big,
going on the rest of the sizes the 18mm must be the one for the top of the glass and not 15mm or 16mm that i was getting.....
but i'm still not 100% certain a 18mm I.D. would be the right size.

edit; are the measurements taken at the time for O.D.?? but the links given on the list are I.D.
i think thats what's must have happened actually looking again....
so yes @1ynne after rereading your initial post lol you were already on it.....my apologies,
i thought i read that but it still did`nt fully register what you were actually saying.....
i think i took it as you`d made the mistake but got away with it with one o-ring,
and/or i generally overlooked it,
either way i need sleep and my two brain cells are hurting

 

[52anddone]

Wow !! I just read the description of the Siren V2, and it lists (on the MFS site) "Dual 5mm Half Circle Wicking Cutouts", so doesn't look any different (in that regard) than my 22mm V1 (I have measured it to have 5mm wick cutouts also).

 

[Katdarling]

Interesting, 5-2. There must be some innovations for the V2 tho, no?

 

[52anddone]

Yea, I don't know if the innovations are that big of a step up to dump the V1 for the V2 though (from what I have read, they have a different top juice fill, and changed the looks somewhat). With the wicking cutouts being the same size, I would guess that a 3.5mm or bigger coil I.D. is necessary to keep seepage to a minimum, just a wild guess though. If the wicking cutouts are truly 5mm on the V2 (typo's and old spec's being listed, aside) that would be a shame, as Digiflavor could have gone and machined a New deck with 4mm or even 3mm wicking cutouts instead, I mean, using a 2.5mm or even 3mm coil I.D. is challenging to get enough Cotton (let alone Rayon) in there so as to keep it from seeping, or outright leaking from around the air flow ring.
