Dry Hits on ODY

[iambalta]

Hi Guys, I was wondering if there is a solution for getting dry hits from ODY, this happened when i rebuild the second time. My current build is double wick on a single coil running on 1.7ohms. is there something wrong? and lately my ODY heats up a little.

Thanks!

My ody gets fairly warm from a good chain vaping session however excessive heat can be caused by a short. Call me paranoid but any time I seem to get excessive heat I check for shorts starting from the connector cap bottom 1 lead on the pin 1 lead on the body. If no shorts are found there you are probably ok. If there is a short there I troubleshoot upward. So when I was using an adapter I would next take the ody off with the adapter and check again. If no shorts then I try to see why my ggts connector cap is shorting (never actually had this happen but it could in theory). If I do have a short I work up more. Remove the adapter and check at the ody base. If no shorts there I know I have a bad adapter (has happened to me a few times) If no short then you probably don't have a shorting issue unless it is intermittient or certain mouthpiece positions are causing a short. Shorting can also cause bad hits or bad tasting hits.

As for your dry hit issue assuming it isn't caused by any shorting how open is your juice controll and are you using stock wick?

Use a pin when wrapping your coil for the dry hits, and to prevent shorts, after securing your wire take the extra wire sticking out and rotate it in a circle and it will snap off flush with the nut.

Looking into the mouthpiece i see dry coil heating up. no juice at all, probably a wicking issue.

@fright88 i do a dry puff first after a few chain vapes it is already dry again. and yes im using stock wicks.

@benjalotus. hmm i look into that. thanks mate.

No dry puffs. Although with stock wick I kept my juice controll almost all the way open.

Try cutting your wicks 2 mm below the ceramic housing rather then at the o-rings. Imeo just posted about it in the Ody Official topic.

In his latest thread he mentioned he didn't think that was the best idea.

Ah, scratch that then :/

 

[iambalta]

thanks for the help guys! probably i over tighten the coil. ill try to loosen up a bit.

Nah,its just a wicking issue if you see the coil heat up.

Too thick juice maybe?

Add distilled water to it and shake vigorously,try again (like 2 drops)
