Should this SS mesh wick as well as silica?
I'm just getting a lot of burnt tasting hits.(using 400 SS with 32 kanthal 4 wraps)
I have been turning my provari upside down and sideways, sometimes its ok, sometimes not.
Just wondering does it take time to wick without helping it. I hope I'm not wrapping the mesh to tight, if that's possible.
A properly made SS mesh wick first installed in tank without firing will saturate itself within a mintue or 2 just sitting standing up in a tank.
As for burning taste that could be a number of things first and foremost a short, with a short it will taste burnt.
Many times a short occurs at the top coil going to the positive connection as it will glow when fired no coils should glow at all when vaping.
Setting up a new coil and testing it with No e-liquid is most important as you want to observe all coils glowing evenly.
If they are not adjust them carefully as not to scrape the mesh as the oxidation on it is very thin.
Once their ok fill tank and after a fireing there should be no coils that glow none like in post #81 if there is adjust them a little at a time but be careful not to burn yourself.
Mike as a note i use 400 mesh with A-1 Kanthal 32gauge . Resistance will vary depending on the wires length being used longer wire equals higher coil ohm.
Airholes on the genesis tank must line up for best performance and taste as you inhale via the drip tip your pulling air directly across the coil otherwise taste is off.
Once you get a coil going properly it will surprise you on how well it vapes and the clean taste it brings to your e-liquid.
Airhole size is ones personal preference and range usually from 1mm to 1.5mm . 1mm being a tighter draw and 1.5mm being a more airy draw.
