Okay, so my first build with the Koh Gen Do wasn't fancy. Simply to compare similar builds with a new wick in the Heron.

My coil is a 28ga 7/8 wrap 2.4mm mini coil. It's hovering between 1.3 and 1.4 ohms. I normally pull one full strand of SnC through the coil to get a full loop to put through the cotton topper and this is my standard setup.

This time, I cut one wick strand (along the long edge of the KGD pad) between 2 and 3mm wide and proceeded to loop and pull as normal.

Verdict? Works great! No break in time needed and wicks faster, with better vape saturation than the SnC, but only by the smallest of margins.

This might be all in my head but I do believe that the KGD produces a bit more vapor than my comparable SnC setup.

So, the results are close but further testing is needed to see how this wick holds up for me. I vape rather clear liquids so I don't gunk up very quickly but we'll see.

I think where the KGD wins is:

1. I don't have to boil it and it remains mighty fluffy through installation and use so far.

2. I designed my coil size around the SnC so I could pull a full strand through to make my single loop. Because the KGD can be cut so easily to size I think it's more flexible for my coil building so that I can pull the full loop (with smaller diameter wick) through a smaller coil and still maintain my wick's shape with loop.

3. I've never been very consistent in wick size when pulling cotton from ball. KGD gives me much more repeatable, consistent results and it's a breeze to size and cut.

I'm liking it initially.we'll see how this wick performs through a few more tanks...

If it is a prometey 2, then yes it is. If so, want to let it go?:)

I think this is the Prometey 1. It has the odd shaped bottom.

I have a bottom ring to give it a uniformed appearance.

I think I will hold on to this for a while.

BTW... I know a lot of people are on the KGD spree right now and are getting/have gotten their supply in.

Since I don't believe you can get them locally, if there any locals on here that want to try it out, send me a PM and I'll drop a pad, or two, in the mail for y'all. (unless I run out, I guess...).

One question for everyone, I just got my Heron today in the mail and I'm curious to know how do you tell the difference between the original and updated bell.

1. If you observe thru the bell's channel against light you are likely to see reduced shoulder mid way.
2. Peeps have gotten unnecessary gurgling and condensation spitfires from the previous bell -- I didn't.

The air tube on the new bell has a larger inner diameter. On the old bell you will be able to see a little ridge inside.

Does this mean VD is tomorrow?

Sent from a BIG phone.....Galaxy Note 3

No, but P said the store will re-open on May 6th and soon thereafter he will announce the next VapourDay. ;)

Edit: "Within the next 8 hours" was my being optimistic about VD news. It may not happen until later in the week.
