Joyetech Penguin

YES , thanks it will /can cause a dam and I'm going to remove that video because of what I been finding out. FLUFFING the existing wicking DOES seem to help the best. I'm still at the conclusion that it's the pressure differentials causing the wicking to halt.
Theoretically if you poked a hole in the top of the juice tank and allowed atmospheric pressure in, the coil will start wicking better BUT it wouldn't stop wicking until all the chambers were equalized , the coil would flood, SO DON'T EVER DO THAT
Thanks for updating what joyetech said . Kind of surprised at the answer "Try to inject some liquid into the coil " that's laughable
Again don't do this , the coil sure will start wicking fine , trouble is it won't stop wicking until all things equalize.

Oh I took the injecting the liquid into the coil to mean putting it in the chimney, like to prime it! I totally get why poking a hole in the tank itself will not work, but I have been wondering about some kind of valve. Not sure how that would work, but I was thinking about it anyway.

My last thoughts and ideas on this issue after reading the answers that @Cheflance got from Joyetech.
I think they are aware of what's going on, I think they thought that a certain portion of the air from inhaling would also draw down some liquid to keep the coil primed.
But if you have a tightly wound cotton coil , that ain't happening as designed. That's why some coils seem to work better than others. SO , what I am doing is to continue to fluff up any new coil cotton and NOT adding anything , and then I am blocking off 1/2 of the air 'Intake" port which will cause a tighter draw. And then hoping with that tighter draw each time , some of that 'draw" will help pull juice down on the coil keeping it primed. As it is is now, the air flow from a normal draw is so loose it's not pulling juice down also as intended.
Even with 1/2 air intake covered the draw is still really nice. Started a new .25 coil , fluffed up a bit and now running with air intake at half opened. And will test it as such for a week.

That sounds like a great plan. I will be watching closely to see how your testing goes!

Yep, a really pretty pink! They have a marbled purple one, too! I just ordered this one: View attachment 676355

Me tooI bought yesterday also the pink one. At www.vapesourcing.com and with sending cost it was even cheaper than from spain

That's where I got the ones for the kids! Only place that has them actually in stock. They need theirs by the end of the month because they want something relatively leak-free to take to Hawaii. So they will get theirs before I get mine but at least I will get to see it! I hope you get yours quickly, too. How long does shipping take from China to Portugal?

Oh I thought it came from the US. I used the address of my sister in the Netherlands. Because here in Portugal they always keep the order at the custom and than you have to pay a lot of extra money. They already charge €8 for administration cost and on top of that also tax. All together it can takes 2 months ( or even more...)before you have the package . But when I sent it to my sister I think 1 month.

Wow, that's a long time! Also, I just checked the vapesourcing order and it says preorder now! It said in stock when I ordered it, but I bet that's only for the original Penguins. I am going to try and find out when the SE ones are going to be released. It could be a while before we get our pretty pink Penguins! It takes 2 or 3 weeks for me to get stuff from China if I don't order DHL. I am very glad we don't have to deal with Customs like you guys do. Sometimes stuff will get hung up in Customs but we don't have to pay a fee usually. It's just the long wait to get our gear!

My Vapor Store shows the new Penguins as coming soon. I will wait until they have them in stock. It only takes about 3 days to get my orders from MVS.

Oh that is strange about the pre-order. I just checked the pink one and it says they are in stock

Indeed bummer about the custom..but I do like the pink one a lot the stupid thing is that I don't need another one ( ordered 2 more at another store from china) I think a lot at vapers have this "problem" . Do you use only the penguin? Or also another mod
Today I was wondering why they don't make a mod ( penquin) with bling bling or glitters

Update: just checked my order and indeed you are right it says pre sell

Dang it! I knew if I ordered them now there would be somewhere that would have them available before I get these, lol. Oh well. As long as I have the 2 before the end of the month I will be okay. Impatient, but okay!

Yes, that's what I saw, too! But then on my order page it says "pre sell." Maybe that just means they are packaging it up? I'm confused!

I use many different devices. I kind of have a problem with vape gear. I just can't resist "new and shiny!" I usually have 3 devices in rotation at any given time. I would LOVE a blingy mod!! I definitely think we could use more girly mods in this industry.

Yes! That's what I am seeing, too! I can't imagine it will be too much longer before they are released. At least I hope not!

I am gonna check every day maybe things would speed up LOL

Yes we need to vote for more girly. I had 3 istick all three with a different liquid all in my bag..if my bag was not heavy a lot hahaha

I just sent them a message how long it takes for sending and what they mean about the pre sell thing..to be continued

• Has anyone ran the 0.6 coil with 50/50 juice? does thinner juice alleviate the wick saturation problem?
  
• Has anyone tried a permanent restriction of the airflow chamber? Like a dab of silicone squirted inside of it? (My GF like a slightly tight MTL) Does that help the juice flow issue?
• Do you folks perceive these as "feeling" like a "mech" with higher strength hits on a fresh bat, dwindling down to wimpy hits when you get down to 1-2 lights? I read somewhere that it was actually fixed voltage, but it "sensed" the coil and used different voltages for the 2 different coils. I.e. not totally unregulated.

I just pre-ordered the purple marble for my GF, along with extra pods and coils. Before I give it to her I am going to try and stick a thermcouple in the coil and measure what temperature these things are running at.

I "think" I can slip my thermocouple wire down through the airshaft and then into the coil. If it works I will test both coils and see what kind temps they are running.

I'm trying it now with a 1/2 restricted airflow , with the .25 coil and 70/30 juice. Too early to tell because only used 1 tank of juice so far. But it has been hitting excellent and no dry hits. I kinda wished there was a adjustable air inlet, I'm liking this 1/2 setting a lot. very consistent hits. And I think the added draw resistance is help the coil wick . Even with half closed off getting real good vapor from it. I have a feeling it can only help using the .6 coil and 50/50
Got my fingers crossed for this test and regardless , I'll be using it half restricted from now on. Air flow will be a personal like or dislike though.

I know, right?? I checked with Heaven Gifts and they said that the one I ordered from them would ship next week. I hope it's the same with Vapesourcing. I will feel better when they are on the way!

I have 3 in my bag, too, and it is VERY heavy! But I have lots of flavor, lol!
