Cucco it's taken me a little while to get used to the KGD and I do use less than either my cotton or yarn. I think I've finally got it figured out. I've been fighting with my spheroids but took one today, cleaned from top to bottom, washed and dried my full then rebuilt using the original silica single loop at about 1.5 and all seems great at this point.

I have struggled with Koh Gen Do. However, because it is so nice to work with, I am determined to make it work. First, I had issues with the taste. O.K., I know, everyone says it does not have a taste. We all know I am nuts, so we will let that one go. I split the pads into two. I then cut my slices. I have found, I must use less KGD than I did cotton. It vapes great, however, I occasionally get flooding in my KFLs. I have been vaping KFLs for a very long time. I have never had flooding when I used my rolled cotton. I have not yet determined what causes that flooding.

BTW: I have found, if my KFL+ airflow has been set up for my rolled cotton, I find myself wanting to open it up a bit more when I am using KDG.
First I was inclined to say you have to much KGD/wick. Typically you have too much wick with the taste of kgd cotton. Try and set up the wick much like my picture earlier of the kfl+ wick. With the KFL after filling (upside down and turning upright a couple times) you will create the vacuum. Before firing take a hard quick draw and see how the air bubbles rise. If a few do, your in good shape. If none, your wick may be too big. Go ahead and take a draw and see if there is any gurgling. If not, plug the air hole and quick draw while letting go to prime more if needed. If you have no bubbles, def too much wick.
Many people constantly prime their kf covering the air hole, hitting and letting go through out the tank. No need if you are set up correct.
If you think you need more juice or there is loss of vacuum, just turn upside down and then right side up. I typically when filling just fill to the bottom of the top ring, maybe a mm higher, much like Q does.
Over filling may also be a cause of flooding. GL Girl, PM if needed :), I hate to see friends /fam with atty issues.

Yep, much like with any tank system "fill till 80*" is the thumb rule. Fill more and we'd either have over-wicking or under-wicking (based on the viscosity of the juice and the density of the wick).

I live in wonderful so . California as you all may know by now and have the great pleasure of getting to go to Disneyland cause my wife is one of those Disney freaks and I also have a 2 1/2 year old daughter. But anyways in at disneyland near the smokers enclosure and this essay see me blowing my fog machine like cloud of wonderful vapor. So he sits down couple of benchs away from me and starts to fill his little ego pen up and what is he filling it up with hash oil. The ....... doesn't even have the nerve to go to the parking lot and do it. I had to control myself from blowing up on him. Considering the fact that there are children all around including my own that he had the nerve to do that. I thought the lame disney workers would have picked up on it but they are clueless and they smell it and don't realize where it's coming from. The lesson I learned those is that I just need to speak up to the right people about that I hate snitching and learn from a ypung age not to and not in my blood to but I can't hold my tounge any long when it comes to situations like that. Makes vapors such as myself look bad period and just wrong to do in a place ment for children. In the past I loved smoking weed in fact I never got high I stayed high hahahahaha but have decided to put that down and never smoke or drink again for the sake of myself and my child to break that chain of addiction but at least I had the decency to go to the parking lot and do it away from children. But anyways perseas your such a tease with all those gorgeous photos hahahahaha. The only GP product I have so far is my X 1.5 and it needs its sibling the X 1.5 Lux and if I decide to bust out the credit card the v3 lux as well.

I guess a lot of teenagers in my province have been putting hash and weed oil in clearos lately and it's gotten a lot of bad press on TV here. It's especially lame because if you believe the studies roughly half of our province smokes weed at least once every six months. They've just unfortunately chosen ecigs to use and it's giving them a bad name.

Thats exactly what the teenagers are doing over here as well but the guy I was referring to was a grown man doing that like a child with no sense.

Thank goodness for vaping!

For the last couple of months, I have had a horrible case of shingles(internal). The shingles declared war on my lungs, resulting in them filling with fluid. I have been vaping now for 1 year, 7 months, and 16 days. My lung health has improved drastically! If I was still smoking, I truly believe, this bout of shingles would have resulted in me being hospitalized with pneumonia. Or worse.

Thank goodness for vaping! Keep on vaping! :)

I think I must have the shortest Vapour Day shopping list. I only want a V3 cap & switch for my spare SS 2.5 tube.

Sent from a BIG phone.....Galaxy Note 3
Yes, but it is a list none the less. A treat indeed. We all have our situations and our own lives to sustain. Many years ago I lived hard on the streets even my first gorgeous daughter was born when I was a kid and had no pot to even piss in. I worked hard got myself educated, thought I had to do my part in the military and things worked out....almost to the end :). Point is, and I have repeated this on many threads, vaping is not a competitive sport like many insist. You found a great GP Family that doesn't judge you and will laugh, give you some hell, joke, and best of all support we all need. Hope that all made sense. You'll get there. Slow and steady :).

I cant find the pic but I'd like to see the bottom of the V3 switch compared to the 2.5.
I hope this helps, Your Awesomeness ma'am.
