okay i got it to wick good now. I used a lot less hemp but was able to keep the wick size about the same. I didnt pack it as much and fluffed it up squeezed it together to the desired size twisted it to feed through the coil and wick up and untwisted back open and its wicking faster then i can vape.

This is just trying to find a way to enjoy my genny and its not working out still. I still prefer my drippers and kayfun. anyone else run into this problem?

i had genny collecting dust for awhile and never even bothered to build any of them since i was straight with my drippers. So i busted some out to see what the hype was all about. Did some in SS it was alright. Did in hemp was better but i can't get the coil placement right next to the air hole as i like. I have all my dripper 1-1.5mm from my air hole and sitting just about it to give me the most flavor.

IMO I would sooner play Russian roulette than vape a .36 ohm coil.:)
A few doctors here should explain what dry hits are chemically, probably as bad or worse than an analog hit and I won't even get into battery safety.

Don't see how playing Russian roulette equates to vaping a .36 ohm build if one is using a 30 amp or 50 amp rated battery. Even a .3 ohm build only draws 14 amps max on a freshly charged battery giving one a double amp buffer for safety, and that's assuming a 4.2 volt source under load, which we know isn't going to happen. .36 ohms is only 11 amps.

Sure using any mech comes with certain risks, even standard ohm builds are just as risky if one gets a dead short, it don't matter what ohms your build starts at when that happens, but those who choose to sub ohm most likely have a much more capable battery and have a better chance of avoiding catastrophic current over run then those that don't. At least that's my thoughts on the issue.

i have never shorted any RDA before. I check with my ohm meter as well. That build was juice a quick slap together with the same wraps i have in most of my drippers. Its not giving me the same vape at all though. The juice i have in there i quite enjoy in my dripper. mint chocolate spot on. but in the genny im not enjoying it at all.

If you use battery knowledge no problem. IMO The dry hits are a greater risk. There are lab test being done at present. Chemical reaction from overheating juice and the effects of flavors that are intended to be absorbed through the digestive system and not through the lungs.

Yeah, dry hits are nasty, no matter what watts one vapes at, fortunately me rba's give lots of starting to run out of juice signals before I get to the dry hit stage. Also know how long it takes me to drain each tank, and fill up before she hits empty.

Have some 50 amp Sony's coming in, so am looking forward to that, but will have to wait another week or so before the mod comes that will utilize them.
