The leds would be an eye catcher in a club or lounge loft, ppl be like wtf is that?!

How does it vape

I don't go to clubs or lounges, and I don't mind educating people if they ask. It vapes very well. I had the mindset of, "You get what you pay for" with it... but I have to think otherwise because it's on par with the Genesis Mini, Katana, and I would assume others. :)

Ok ... question if I may ....

I have noticed that my Kat makes me cough, a lot .... hubby even said "You are coughing like you did when you smoked". I am getting more than enough vapor, and maybe more TH than I do on other set-ups I have, but the flavor is good. It almost feels like a "coating", and a tickle in my throat. It's all very upper airway......
I have a 3/4 wrap right now, would the TH decrease if I tried a 4/5 wrap? I have already dropped my nic from 18mg to 12mg, and that seems fine in my tanks.

Hi Blu,

yes, I think that should do the trick, with 4/5 wraps the TH should decrease, vapor will be a little cooler also, the vapor production could decrease a little and the battery life should increase (maybe not noticeable) :)

Thanks Ariel ... I may try it. I don't normally got lower than 2 ohms resistance on most things, so maybe this coil is a little low for me and I am not used to it. I am not sure what resistance a 3/4 wrap is .... 1.5ohm?

Yes, 3/4 wraps should be around 1.5 ohms (of course, it depends how tight are the coils, etc.). I use my Katana with 4/5 wraps (around 1.6 - 1.8 ohms), that is my sweet spot <- (is "sweet spot" a correct expresion? :D)

Ok ... new 5 wrap coil is going, and it is A LOT better!! No coughing but still good taste and decent vapor!! :toast:

Glad you got that all sorted. It is much more mellow at 5 wraps than 4 and the performance is nearly the same. I change between 3, 4 and 5 coils depending on juice and how I'm feeling :).

I started with a 3-4 coil at 1.7ohm and stepped up to a 4-5 coil. now i'm rockin a 5-6 coil and it is vapin tough. I think for the juice i am vaping it is perfect 70pg30vg. its great. I am really trying to stray from making any more serious mods to it but the magnet switch and a pretty well oxi'd wick seems to do the trick. also I tried burning my wire and not burning and it seems to wrap better and get more consistant results with the burn to help (anneal?) the wire. I am going to try the torching a wick only and seeing if it wicks better but I fear it may just short out. there is ways around that but I do seem to chain vape alot and am getting kindof a burned taste. I think its dry hitting. I have found that if I have a wicking problem I take a pretty good pull on it without firing covering the airhole so it just creates a vacuum and some bubbles happen in the tank when i let go of the hole that seems to help prime the wick as well as clear the fill hole. maybe this will help some people? I fricking love this pv!!! all day pv hands down. my favorite.
