Kev, if the wick was making contact with the base of the tank or touching the post anywhere, that could do it.

I did check that Andy and it wasn't. But all is well cause I'm blowing plumes with it now.
metallic taste tells me that you're shorting somewhere. are you just using a wick or did you put in a new ptfe? if you've gone "wick only", you'd have to be very sure how oxidized that baby is to prevent shorts. a thicker wick will also raise the resistance to the coil.
Nice video Andy. Just reaffirms what I said about your comment yesterday buddy.
It has the insulator in it and was a preoxidized Zen wick. I'm not near confident enough in my wick making ability to even think about trying anything but the Cobalt without an insulator.
if you have the ptfe and your wick is good, i'd go through the simple stuff first...
make sure that your wick isn't touching the center post or the tank bottom first (which i'm sure you did.. but i had to say it). after that i'd start checking for shorts on the coil. i'm pretty .... about the spacing i put on each wrap. i try to keep them pretty uniformed. do you "line" you wick when you wrap your coils? i use a syringe needle when i wrap mine because i like the positive feedback of the contact between coil and wick. if your wick is in a good position, just fire and nudge those wraps until they settle down.
remember, a new wick and coil will taste a little funky and will not really wick great until they season up...
That's is.... I don't know wha......brain exploded
She's like a coil artist, she has a future in making heater element coils.
Thank you thank you! That was easy. Now its working like a charm! I think I was the 20% with whimpy hits.
I'm sorry, who is this guy talking all these zeninisms. Shouldn't you be working on an announcement or something.
Im not sure, but i think its 32, its the kanthal that comes w/ the zap. I just tried rewrapping it, and my normal 5 wrap that usually reads 2.1, reads 1.3 on both provaris. Now i get what she is talking about. No shorts anywhere, using the insulator too.
im going to try seeing if any liquid leaked into the post. sent from a dumb iphone so please excuse errors/mishaps
I know, i was amazed when i saw that

^lolz
ill be able to get a SW on monday? awesome
I was getting douche chills about that too
I thought you guys would get a kick out of this, I was coaching my gf through her first wrap last night, she doesnt like me telling her what to do so she told me to go away. This morning i looked at it and saw this...
lolz
she said thats the only way she could get 2 ohms out of it because she tried a 5, 6 and 7 wrap, i think this one is 12?The funny thing is that it vapes and it actually reads 2 ohms. I had a 5 wrap on there before so I think I'll rewrap it a 5 or maybe try a 6. Why is it only reading 2 ohms though? my coils are a bit bigger than that so i thought maybe its because hers are so tiny, oh well... i thought it was funny anyways...
Edit: Looking at it though, she actually did a pretty good job coiling it
That's an epic coil!! Got my first gen style device today. It's not a Zen~ but just wanted to show this in comparison to your wife's coil lol
30ga Kanthal and #500 mesh rolled solid and as fat as I could fit in the hole. Didn't meter it so dont ask what O-word is it lol.
Uuuuummmmm....I'm tellin'!
Tsk - tsk - tsk
APV! APV! APV!
I bet that's changed soon.
Morning sunshines!
Batten down the hatches East Coasters! I'm sending positive vibes your way and hoping the Hybrid storm misses you all! My sister included!
No, no no! Don't you go jinxing my storm! I prayed, and bled, and made human sacrifice to the surf gods to make this storm come together. And I dared um to aim it at my home break. Low and behold, here's the perfect super cell headed my way gonna send me some epic surf! I wait all year for hurricane season and years for storms like this no matter where I am. I will be spending the next few days chasing this hottie of a storm up the coast and plan to be on the road and mostly in the water and on the beach 24/7 till she finally either stays inland or moves out and dies. Can't wait, don't kill my hopes and dreams!
This is what dreams (least mine) are made of!!!
Hurricane SANDY

Hopefully she tracks just a bit further north and those winds go offshore Monday and Wednesday too!

Miss me?!?! Sure missed y'all!
Been rough around here. As some of y'all know, my daughter was expecting her second child (MY granddaughter) and was having complications. Almost 8 weeks of bedrest, hospitalized 5 times, she finally gave birth (3 weeks early) to my perfect and beautiful g'daughter. Both are doing well and my daughter is finally getting back to her healthy self.
Between that, and me and her hubby playing tag with their other child (my sweet grandson) and then getting thrown down with health issues of my own, it's been a ride! LOL
Now, how is everyone doing and what did I miss besides the Sidewinder. Still crying over that. ROFL!
