Innokin Zenith MTL tank--Phil Busardo

[NolaMel]

Can you tell I’m avoiding doing chores ? Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet tank anyway. Guess they had to come up with something “new” to say about it. On the bright side, I now have lots of energy to go get my stuff done lol

Quieter? My big Zenith is very quiet. Full a/f.

 

[NolaMel]

Well, I finally broke a zenith. Dropped it on the marble floor. Glass is fine. The metal cracked,not visible except with jewelers lens. Base just spins and spins. May try and solder it and see if its salvageable

Nope I have just heard that about the plexuses. Coil life is shorter. I haven't bought any for that reason but you are not applying too much power I don't think.

Thats to bad Anna because the coil itself does not go bad so quick its the cotton that surrounds it that turns black and nasty.
Take a clr for example when flavor is off one just pulls out wick then give a few pulses to cotton less coil and its good to go re-wick and its like new again.
But that's how money is made being proprietary one has to buy more.
Cotton is less expensive to buy.

The tank is in my opinion excellent just missing that last optional head REBUILD-ABLE. ; )
Anyways still vaping the .8 coil head in a Zenith D22 and now will fill tank for the 20th time flavor still there and coil registers at 0.82 ohms
A box of 5 of in rebuild-able fashion would last a very long time pulsing the naked coil to clean and just re-wicking like a clr coil head.

Tell us if successful doing the solder not sure if it will stick depending on the metal it is made off.
If not good old JB weld will definitely work as it sealed a crack in an oil pan on a jeep once had .
That repair lasted well over 100,000 .
Had to finally junk it with 285,000 miles on it because the seats were about to fall thru the rusted out floor pans.

I have a led-set weld stuff I’m going to try. I can solder just about anything, but I think the finish would have to be removed, which would weaken it more. At worst, I’ll stick it in the emergency backup drawer. Oddly, it doesn’t leak.

Quick question. I’m running my 1.6 coils at 10w with one hole open. How do you run your 1.6’s?

one hole open and between 7 and 12 watts. Probably averages around 9.5w

 

[NolaMel]

Wide open at 12-13 watts

 

[Storm52]

Wide open at 10 watts

 

[NolaMel]

I just realized it varies by mod. I’m at 11 w on my provari.

4 volts on mine, with 1.8 nautilus.

I tend to use pretty sweet juices as well and bought some Zs since the one included with my tank was a dud. I'm definitely NOT getting any longer life out of them compared to the .8s. And personally, I think the flavor of the .8 is better. Not to mention they're cheaper for about the same life span.

Agreed, I'm a big fan of the 0.8 and hoping they keep producing them and don't try to replace them wholesale with the plexus ones. I keep testing the plexus ones again every now and then and they're great at first but decline quickly. I use quite sweet juices 70-80 VG, 3 airholes open and usually between 11-13 watts and normally get about 4 days use out of the mesh coils if it's the only tank I use.

Whereas with the 0.8 I can get at least 2 weeks use with the same setup. The other main difference I noticed is that with the 0.8 I just know to change it because the flavour has gone, but with the plexus it goes straight to nasty and burnt.

I know the Zenith is aimed at MTL users just starting out on vaping,and is probably designed with lower VG juices in mind. But most of these users will be using the shop bought liquids and really there aren't that many of the premium liquids that are 50/50. The standard coils seem to open up a wider variety of flavours for new users (although I've not really tested the 1.6 coils so can't speak for them)

I diy at 50/50. They’re sweet juices, same burnt flavor you get. Oddly, my very first boxes of z coils were great, bought when they were first available . I didn’t get the short life/burnt yuck until I got into the replacement boxes bought later. I use the 1.6 mostly, but have that and the.8. The cheapest price I’ve found on the coils is from Direct Vapor. $8.95 (save 5% if you subscribe to have them autoshipped). I’ll just keep stocking up on them. I have little faith in coils being available infinitely.

Vent warning..... ok, I have officially had it with the z coils. Just changed the second one today. Both tanks had new coils put in Saturday. 4 days. 4. One running at 12.5w, the other at 11.6. All of a sudden burnt taste, out of the blue, tank 1/2 full at minimum. Thank heavens I only have 6 left. At this rate, should be done with them by Monday. I don’t understand why the very first ones were great, then they went to blech. I’m done with this experiment lol. Back to the regular coils,no question
