Better the atomizer wheezing than you!

ETA: Stop hitting your atomizer. That's abuse...

Mine is that I went to the grocery store earlier and they had stuffed tie-dyed monkeys in the flower section by the door and it made me think of all of you. I didn't have my phone or I'd have snapped a pic.

I think you may be spending a little too much time around here.

Hmmm... Remember the original iStick (20W), fresh off the charger outputs an effective minimum of 4.1V, so that's 12W with the 1.4Ω head. But that shouldn't be your problem. The stick heads are rated to 20W. Rebuilds are probably good to 30W.

Besides looking for bubbles to rise, informing of juice being fed to the wick, take a look at your wick itself. As opposed to cotton, rayon tends to shrink when it gets wet. I suspect you need a bit more rayon. You're looking for round shoulders at the end of each wick. The rayon should be just loose enough that you don't molest the coil badly. Listen/feel for the squeaking. I have never burnt a rayon wick. I have had really nasty hits resulting from too little wicking. The nasty flavor is any accumulation on the coil burning.

Where do you have the air flow set?

Why the stock had would be doing this is beyond me. Maybe others can help here.

Do the GS Airs tend to "vapor lock" if filled too full, preventing the passing of air to the tank and e-liquid to the wick?

Thanks alden. I thought I got as much in there as I could. It was probably wicking and I probably just need more experience. I have the airflow all the way open. I don't know why the stock coil did it either. It was fine on my MVP when I got home. And the iStick was fine with a rebuild and one of the regular airs.

Since it was not a clear burn taste, i would guess the same thing as Aldenf...I found you almost cannot put
too much rayon in a wick. When juice is vaped on a coil with too little rayon, it has the strangest taste.
hard to describe, to me it's like vaping a copper penny almost. It's pretty gross.
Usually that is also a problem that crops up right away on the first puff or two...
add to the mix, now a factory coil tastes burnt.
sounds like mod problem instead of coil.

It's nice when you remind people of stuffed monkeys...

To the tune of "Don't get around much anymore"

My resistance was low...
legs were hot
and what's more...
saturated my line-er.
Don't get to
vape much anymore.

Pulled the bottom right out
Like he told me before.
Couldn't find any burn marks.
Don't get to
vape much anymore.

I don't know nuffink. Haven't crossed over to the Dark Cheechorian Empire yet, but I thank you for the learning opportunity. Chin up.

PS- Don't take any wooden nickels.

PPS- Don't take Cheech's "hot legs" remark personally, unless...

When you finaly drink the rebuilding kool-aid i think we're all going to get educated on proper rebuilding!

 

[Cheechako]

We all have our first world problems to bear. Mine for example is this one GSA tank that "wheezes" every time I hit it. It is so irritating.

Asthmatic tank?!?!?! Needs breathing treatment! STAT!

 

[Cheechako]

Not possible, dangerously close to communistic talk!

What PG/VG ratio e-liquid are you using?

Questions for the group: Does the airflow setting greatly effect juice feed like other gravity fed atomizers? Does it effect stock and rebuilt heads differently?

Ayuuuuh, so long as people pay attention to you and your merry band of rayonettes, and ignore anything I may say.

Use mine wide open now with rebuilds, could recreate flooding by an over exaggerated vape, hard draw you might say...
(I did not want to say a hard suck on the tank)
Airs don't seem to be as sensitive to juice levels as my experience with other tanks.

Stephen King uses that term in his novels.

That particular juice, I don't know. Silly vendors. Based on consistency, I'd put the VG above 50, but not max VG.

Mr. King is probably a neighbor and friend of Mssr. Fumador. They're both Maine-iacs.

I used to read a lot of his novels. Last one I read was 11/22/63. It was pretty good.

Neighbor, yes...he lives up the pike in Bangawww or thereabouts. Never had the pleasure of meeting him, but the library second hand book shop where I volunteer has a nice little collection of his books. In about a week when the tourist infestation is going strong, they will all disappear, swallowed up by Lincoln Navigators with Florida plates, or loooooooooooong Cady-Lacs from Texas with steer horns on the hood.
Folks from away like Mr. King, and they drive some strange cahhhz.

considering those are probably Busby Berkley girls, they would be about in my speed!

King? From away? Thought he was a Maine native?

Read it again, slowly, and check for your wallet. Those show girls...
