My main Orchid build is 8 wraps of 28ga. around a 2mm for 0.7 ohms. I also use 27ga. for a 0.55 if I want a little more heat and/or a 2.4mm if I want more wick. For the wick I use KGD if I'm only going to use 1 or 2 tanks of a particular liquid, or rayon if I want it to last. With rayon I trim the bottom 2/3 of the wick so the tail is on top and fold it under, so far no leaks with this technique.

Ok......Before I went to bed last night I took 4 wraps out and took the diameter from 3mm to 2mm @ .73 and its working a little better. Im using KGD, but do have rayon on hand also. Ill try a regular 28 g build today and maybe 26g but I think the 26 will be too hot. I really like using 30g twisted for flavor and it ramps up fast and cools down quicker.

    With all the talk about the wheel I decided to give it a try again. Two spins, won a $10 gift certificate. I'm thinking of giving the Taifun V2 a try but are there any other suggestions for atomizers. I've tried the Erl-whatevertherestofthenameis, Rose V2, Squape Reloaded and Tobeco kayfun V4. Like them all except the Erl. Perhaps I should ask if the coupon works on the USA warehouse section or just China based purchases?

    Can only use coupon on the china side, but my suggestion would be the Aqua V2, awesome atty, good flavor and hassle free tank ;)

    +1 the Aqua v2 is great. I had to clean mine due to it leaking a little when I had it sitting on its side all day, since I had to pull the coils I did a rebuild and experimented with a spaced coil, 8 wraps of 26ga. 0.4ohm Wow! Major differences I can crank up the Atty much higher without fear of dry hit. I'm also getting a significant boost to flavor now as well.

    Play around with coil placement also. A little higher or lower, and how far out over the air hole makes a noticeable difference.

    I seeing more people going back to spaced coils, saying the flavor is better, might have to try it myself this weekend, one really good thing about the Aqua, easy to rebuild with not having to empty tank.

    My Orchid is on a mech. Dual 26g 2.4mm, 0.4 ohm. Its quite the powerhouse vape to me.

    I want an original Aqua now. Which clone is better?

    You mean the V1 Aqua? I heard that Tobeco's is good (don't know where to buy), the version in FC's US warehouse always got great marks in the first thread, and I have it also :)

    You and Nailz are both banished to Time out, and have earned 5 Pow Pow's each for taunting Ms. Nikki with ugly stuff! :glare:

    If I have nightmare's from this, there will be more severe consequences for both of you :glare: I see a lot of magic cubes in your futures :laugh:

    Nikki that setup would look awesome with this drip tip from the same new arrivals page.
