Ive noticed that if i use a coil under 1.8 ohms it tastes burnt on my isticks even on the lowesr setting, any solutions to this?
I was having the same problem. I had to rebuild my kanger coils to a higher ohmIve noticed that if i use a coil under 1.8 ohms it tastes burnt on my isticks even on the lowesr setting, any solutions to this?
I guess 1.8 it is
Depends on what you're running. Most of the clearos can't handle that much power.I used a Rose on my wife's yesterday with a 1.3 and cotton and didn't get a burnt taste. It was good at 7w. I must have hit it at least 20 times but I haven't been able to sneak it away from her today so I can't check it out to see if I was just overlookin it.![]()

Closer to 1 5/8 the size so maybe 50% bigger in volume but still only 1/2" wider
Even closer to 1 33/50 the size, but I didn't realize we were splitting hairs.
Yes, it's only 1/2" wider, but since the original istick was only 1 1/4" wide, 1/2" is fairly considerable, as it has to do with ratio's, not overall measurements.
If they lengthened a football field 1/2", it's of course, no big deal. If they lengthened it 66 yards, that would be something else.
A 66% increase in size might not be a big deal to you, but it probably is to others.

The ones I have are 1.8 and 2.2. I have to run them between 5-6 watts. Which is weird for me. I'm used to 8 ways with themThanks, I hadn't considered that. I have some old Kangers around with 1.8's in em. I was originally concerned my wife couldn't use her Kangers with the istick but the ones she's usin now and the one I tested yesterday are 2.5. It did good at 6-8w as I remember.

For the last 2 1/2 years, I averaged over 70 hrs/week working. Dripping was out of the question and my RTAs tended to leak often, particularly if they weren't standing upright. I tried numerous builds in my EHPro KFL+ v2 but could never find a build that both vaped well and was leak resistant. That's why I found ways of getting a quality vape out of my ProTank2 w/airflow control through rebuilding the heads.
Then came the Erlkonigin. Cloud Hunter's wicking, that I linked to previously, has proved practically leak-proof and an amazing vape. From a completely empty tank, you might get a bit of initial gurgling/leaking that quickly goes away. If I close the AFC ring before filling, the most I've gotten is some slight gurgling that quickly subsides. If I refill before emptying the tank, rarely do I get a bit of gurgling. Thoroughly priming a new or completely dry wick helps prevent gurgling/leaking after filling.
The trick is cutting the wick so the shoulders make contact with the chimney. The wisp of wick that travels down the liquid channels transports the e-liquid like crazy with both organic Japanese cotton and Rayon. The wet shoulders, against the chimney, act as a seal against the e-liquid. I mistakenly left my Erlk lying on the passenger seat of my black vehicle, in direct sunlight, for a couple of hours. My punishment for such stupid behavior? The slightest bit of gurgling that quickly went away.
The Erlkonigin is shorter than my KFL+, holds 6ml of e-liquid (I've filled it once), provides incredible flavor, has as much airflow as a LEMO (after opening the center pin a bit with a round needle file), can throw gobs of vapor and is highly leak resistant. Do I like my Erlkonigins? You betcha! YMMV. If I remember correctly, KTMRider hasn't had as good of a time with his Erlk clones. Maybe he'll chime in and share his experiences...
If you don't need the 6ml capacity, I would recommend checking out the Erlkonigin Nano you posted earlier. It's getting great reviews but I haven't seen it Stateside yet. It's 10mm shorter with a 3ml capacity and seems the perfect fit on the smaller iStick, Cloupor Mini & VS DNA30 devices. Remember the Erlkonigins are only 20.5mm in diameter! For less than $15, it seems a cheap experiment. My PT2 w/AFC was over $20. If you don't like it, you could sell it for at least $10.
Good luck!
I have yet to hear any complaints about screen orientation. I paid $21, shipped for my current iStick. Not gonna complain about the orientation of the screen. Though a stealth mode would be nice.![]()
It is weird havin to drop the watts but I find that hers still performs great at low wattage. I'm gonna buy a 30 and some 50's. I'll probably end up sub ohmin with a
Delta ll on a 50 and put my other gear in the cabinet. I found some real good cheap juice too. So thinkin about quittin diy, coil buidin, battery chargin, drippin (which stuff I have enjoyed doin). No point to me cause I have a big enough hobby with motorcycles. With all the new quality stuff they're comin out with, I can just focus on my bikes and still have the vape I like.![]()
Want to share your real good, cheap juice find? Not sure I'm prepared to give up DIY at the moment. But a source like that is always welcome!
Where did you get it 21 shipped?
