My friend has an older one, mine was made april 2019 according to the mark inside the mod.
I am a bit of a perfectionist, so everything is lined up and mesurements are taken from top till bottom of the mixing list, so unless someone has put something else in the bottles I use, then the mix should be correct.
I do not have any more af the aroma so I can not check if there infact could be a mixing error.
I am on vecation, so I cannot buy any either.
Can it be that my coils get to hot?
I think they get hot pretty quickly.
I cannot understand why I can't get my set to get to 0.29-0.30 ohm. My friend uses 3 wraps and he is at 0.29 and I just did 7 wraps and ended up at 0.23. We use the same gauge and same type wire, just a different brand.

Since you keep saying you are using different brands of wire that has to be the answer. You seem to have explored every other option. Buy some of the same brand of wire he uses to see if that is the problem. Have you tried turning down your wattage so it at least doesn't burn your wicking/coil. No sense in wasting a good build just to make it perfect as its just not going to happen. I try my vapes on several different mods to see which I get the best of the flavor I am using. Even sometimes the same model and all are different. I cannot give an answer for this but it just is. Find the sweet spot on your mod and be content or not.

Can you post a pic of your coils? On a regulated mod, ohm has far less to do with how the coil functions than the configuration and wattage setting. I know my preferred style of vaping is to use coils that take a primer puff the heat up, but can be chain Vaped for a mL or two In a few minutes. If I were to run them at a wattage that didn't need a few seconds to warm up, everything would taste burnt.

I think I have found out the problem.
The head I was using was one that was seethrough and had fixed airintake that was a little less than the original metal one.
Now I've tried putting the original head on ans set it to full air intake, and now it tastes less burned.
I think the problem was that the coils didn't get enough air, and by that got to hot and changed the taste of the aroma.
It is not totally there yet, but I'll just have to experiment with coil settings and give it more steeping time

I'm glad you have begun to figure it out.:thumb:

What caught my attention, was when you posted:
I cannot understand why I can't get my set to get to 0.29-0.30 ohm. My friend uses 3 wraps and he is at 0.29 and I just did 7 wraps and ended up at 0.23. We use the same gauge and same type wire, just a different brand.
I am wondering if the wire you have is not what it is labeled as. If it is indeed the same size (gauge), wrapped to the same inside diameter, using the same number of wraps, and made out of the same material (kanthol, stainless steel, etc.) you should be getting the same resistance... at least, within a few hundredths of an ohm.

The fact, that you are more than doubling the number of wraps (your 7 vs. only 3 your friend is using), and still not even reaching the same resistance (let alone exceeding it); makes me think either the gauge is miss-marked, or the material is different (and miss-marked).

This is not out of the realm of possibility. I know there was a manufacture/reseller(?) here in the U.S., that had that very issue a while ago. They were loading smaller "retail spools" from a large master spool, and either had the wrong master spool on, or applied the wrong label. Anyway, what should have been kanthol got loaded with nickel, and a big stink was made because of the potential risk it created for folks with nickel allergies. The first tell-tail, was the significantly different resistance between the two materials, even though the appearance looked the same.

If you can mooch a small length of your friend's wire; try building the same coil they are using, and see if it doesn't vape any better.

As a side note; a seven wrap coil will take longer to heat up and cool down, compared to a three wrap coil made of the same gauge and material.

What are the specs (brand, gauge, material) on the wire you are using? And, what diameter coils are you making?

Sorry I haven't replied but I'm on vecation
The material is N80 and has 3x 28ga and 1x 36ga.
I have contacted my friend and he saw that his wire is actually 2x28ga and 1x35ga.
So there is also some in difference there.

My e-juice has started to taste like it should. So it apparently just needed 3-4 weeks of steeping before being taken into use. I was just very very worried since I cannot mix anything while on vecation, and therefore was in need of what I had already mixed
