I just did a 6/5 wrap on a 3/32 ceramic wick I put on my Darwin set to 5 wats and the screen reads 3.2v 3.0a. 1.0 ohms it takes a couple of seconds to heat up but I can watch my battery indicator drop to almost zero first couple drags was OK but after that nothing but throat burn there isn't any hot coils when I fire it but I can't get the ohms up guess I'll try a 7/6 or a 8/7 next if I don't break the wick that is . How many battery's can I look forward to going threw in a days time at 3.7 v

Fishstix!!!
length is not an issue anymore
I think I can get about 15 wicks out of the 6". so this wick cost me about 50 cents...
EHWed, took about 2mn to have a good flow. I can't see much of a diff. with the FC right now it works really good. we'll see how it holds the next couple of days...
wow dsmooch, very nice, they look nice and round. so far no real difference to the fc-wick?
it isnt the resistance thats the issue, its probably the tightness on the wick. i personaaly wouldnt go ant more then 5 wraps on the 3/32 wick. did you hot wrap? how tight is the wire on the wick? can you see any gaps behind the wires? most likely you may have some tiny gaps, in this case you just need to be patient, it may take a couple of tanks before you get good results. keep at low volts till broken in.
btw, what gauge wire are you using now? because if its 28g, it may be to thick for the 3/32 wick. try a 4/5 wrap of 30g instead. but like i said before maybe just wait a while before re-wrapping
Yea I don't have a torch handy so its just hand wrapped I can't see any gaps but sure it has some . On the 5/4 wrap with the 28 g I'm getting a .7 ohm and it seems like a battery killer that is why I was trying to go with a higher ohm
dont know about the darwin, but at 1.0 ohm in my mechanical mod one 18650 aw imr will last me about 8 hrs. in my provari v-2, it will last about 4 to 5 hrs. so vaping both mods through out the day, i can get 2 days out of my mechanical mod and 1 day out of my provari
Wish I had some 30g wire all I have is 28g and 34g with the 34 I have to do a 4/3 wrap to get it to a 3.2 ohm anything lower just heats up to much
if 28g is all you have then try one more wrap. but for the 3/32 wick you really need 30g. the only issue with one more wrap of 28g is that its going to be even slower to heat up. now at 0.7Ω its going to be harder for that wick to break in. if you cannot do a hot wrap, i know for sure that it will need time to break in, at least 2 tanks. this break in time is for stuff to fill the gaps behind the wires. usually on a hand wrap it is best not to be at such low resistances. so either stay where your at, (in which the break in period may be longer) or add another wrap. ultimatly like i said the 30g is much better with the 3/32 wick. i haven tried the 28g on the 3/32 wick so not sure how its going to fare.
yes, i dont think the 34 would be any better, to much voltage. do you have another mod? or is this your only means of vaping? if you have another mod, just vape that, and occasionally vape the ceramic here and there until she breaks in, and keep the tank topped off as much as possible. if this is your only set-up, not sure what you can do.
Yea I have a lil chuck it takes the 18350 battery and its mechanical just a battery a button and a tube but it is my every day mod but with a charged battery it do sent fire this very good at all think I need a 18650 mod
Wow is right. I noticed that too. That homemade wick is too perfect - too smooth and too round. dsmooch ya gonna share some of that israeli technology?
the first time i set-up a ceramic wick i was lucky to have another mod set-up with a good working ss mesh wick, for it took the ceramic a long time to break in. i thought it was tight, but it really wasnt. i really could not vape it that much, for it vaped good for a couple of vapes but then dried up. so i just vaped my other mod for the most part but took some vapes here and there until it broke in. after a couple of tanks or more it just came alive, and i havent vaped a metal wick since.
i have an aga with the 3/32 wicks, i use the 30g/ 4/5 wrap 1.1Ω, it vapes so awesome, i mean this little wick puts out an unbelievable vape, mega clouds. i have been lucky so far as i havent broke a wick yet. but i have heard that one supplier will not be making anymore of the 3/32 wicks because they are to fragile. so when and if i cannot get the 3/32 sizes, i will either drill out to 1/8 in or make my own wicks. also am thinking of purchasing a cobra atty, so i will have the same issue, but not sure if those can be drilled out.
so with this ribbon wire, do you think it will vape like 28g? or 30g? i guess it depends on the size of the ribbon. i just have found that the larger diameter wire reacts kind of slow on ceramic, so maybe the ribbon might be slower. but maybe because its flatter it might be better on the ceramic, guess we will see. i do like the way it looks though.
The .5mm x .1mm ribbon reacts just like 30g. It has almost the same resistance. I can get instant-on with the Provari at 1.6Ω. The .8mm x .1mm wire is about the same as 28g, but slightly lower resistance, so it will be slow at above 1Ω coils. I did pull together a coil with the new wire for an Ody clone earlier and it vapes great at .9Ω.
Its not cooperating with the hot wrap method....yet.
It needs a bit more finesse and control over the flame. I can get it to wrap, but not like the .5mm did. I still have small gaps, but it could be my less than perfectly round ceramic. I am working on a new wick. The .8mm is a beast of a wire.I'm on 3/32 with 30g and AGA-T+. The hot wrap has been tough with 3/32 and not an absolute necessity since I can already do tight wraps using a smaller drill bit then torching the coiled wick as it is held tensioned by both ends with pliers. Then I connect to the AGA and wrap around about 4 in. of juiced up cheesecloth (using needle) and then I just dry burn it all away. I think this is pretty much how I'm going to keep it as far as the AGA and the 3/32.
I'm going to try a DiD clone with 1/8 wick and the .8mm ribbon as an alternative setup hoping it will allow for a tastier, thicker chain vape. When the mailman delivers all the toys I will post an update but right now I'm concerned I got too thick a wire and I may not be able to get it wrapped tight and at 1.2 ohms for my Vamo to take it. Wish me luck.
