Anyone else having any issues with the last batch of ready wires from COV?
I am having two problems. First, the R section is only 3cm when they have always been 4cm in length. This is allowing only 3 wraps around a double 3mm wick.
Second, and no matter what I do to prep the wire, I am getting a really bad metallic taste. Now, I consider myself a very experienced rba user and have been using Penelpes and Odys since they came out. I have used at least 300 ready wires and many more hand made. This is the first time I have had these issues.
Anyone having the same issues. I bought quite a few on the last run and have tried several from different bags with all the same result. I have sent a ticket to COV. I look forward to any response.
Edit: Despite the R section being shorter than prior batches, they are all still metering out at 1.5ohm. The previous version of ready wires have a R wire that measures 0.19mm or 32gauge, the new ones have a R wire that measures 0.15mm or 34 gauge according to my digital caliper.
