Dry hits with ss mesh

[jvad]

Hello,

I recentlt rebuild 2 vivi novas using ss mesh (it is 400 316) and kanthal wire awg 32.

One is working great with lots of flavor and vapor, the other one i mostly get dry hits and very little flavour.


I built both at the same time using the same procedure, i have checked then both and both have almost de same resistance (2.1 and 2.3) yet one refuses to work properly

Any ideas on what could be causing this will be appreciated

In case that matters the good one has legend juice from HHV and the bad one has caramel capuchino from backwood brews

Thanks
Jbad

What are you using it on? If the 2.3 isn't working, may be not enough voltage?

Hi, thanks for your response, I have an ego-t battery (3.7volts) and an ego variable (3.2, 3.7 and 4.2).

I just tried both on 4.2 volts and still sane pbm.

Should i try to get something with higher voltage? Can low voltagw create dey hits?

Refire the wick and check your coil wrap, fire up that kanthal wire real good too!

is the ss mesh kinked at all?

Had to leave very early for work and could bot check it out, I will check it later and report back.

@congaman, by refire do you mean re-oxydize de wick? If not could you please explain what do you mean (sorry engish is not mu first tongue)

Hi, u hit it right on, I had a kink on the wick, couldn't fix that one but did a new one making sure there were no kinks and it works great, thanks.

For others that may be having the same issue, I found that making the wick thiner (by using less ss mesh) seems to help avoid kinks

right on! Glad you got it working!

I'm definitely going to have to try this when my ss mesh gets here.

@cincydawg, it is definitively worh the effort, I'm not exactly a crafty person and I managed to get it right, so it is doable!!

Good luck and let us know how it goes

great feedback, I recently bought a vivi nova v2.5 3.5ml tank and wanted to try this method of rebuilding. I notice that the flavor is starting to get muted, which is expected from these, (what I've read on ECF)
