Katana by POC ~ Show and Tell :)

[sacredgaming]

Wow nice coils, it may show that I'm just beginning with rebuildables, but how is that dual coil not shorting?

the the individual wraps are not touching only at the top and bottom even though you cant tell with my dirty coils .

The dual coil serves two purposes for me. 1st it gives me ultra low resistance 2nd it allows the heat to be spread evenly across the whole wick. however battery life does diminish

here is how he states to make it

Here is a pic on my dual coil setup however slightly dirty

I just made a new wick tonight 15mm x 45mm. With the full screw in place and oxidized from top to bottom it wicks like a banshee. It might just keep up with that dual coil setup you like. I wrap a single 1.3-1.5 ohm coil and it a single dry hit yet (intentionally chain vaping for this to see how long it will stay wicking this well) so far so good

That's the point of oxidizing the wick... It prevents the outside of the mesh from being conductive so that current has to flow through the entire wick.

I never even thought of trying dual coil like that, but it makes sense that you could just turn a second wire with the first and then make sure that they don't touch in between... you have to make sure that the single coils don't touch in much the same fashion, or current is going to 'skip' a coil.

You've got to use a little fine silver wire to extend the length a bit or you could just up the length of the resistance wire a bit would make for a bit more resistance but would work.

I tried using .2 kanthal a-1 at about an inch and a quarter which is about 1.5 ohms but, couldnt get a strong enough hit. When this coil dies i'll try again or another day or so whichever comes first. I was having an issue getting the wick to work properly at first now i realize it was alot of user error.

hi Peeps, hahahahaha manage to get a order from poc. Sooooooooo Excited .... but need to wait for the production though. . .

When oxidizing the wick, is there an advantage to using VG vs PG?

I have a bit to wait, so maybe I should start practicing.

Here is the best video I've found thus far. The Zenesis 18650 PV - YouTube

In it, he mentions using 'thick VG juice'... I've tried both and didn't really notice a difference, but then I never got the whole thing quite right, so take with a grain of salt. Mostly just wanted to share the link.

Thanks erich .... I'll watch it. I love videos, I'm a "need to see it" type of person.

Yep, saw that one! Good video!

How many of you that own the katanas own or are planning to own a zenesis?

Or other rebuildables?

Me!!! Would love to try orion when the new v2 is out. But katana is a must!!!

On the feb.waiting list for a zenesis.Swapped a spensive pv for a katana,also have a SCV3,waiting for g tank us.One of these days I'll figure out how to make a wick that works good enough to keep from getting the dreaded dry hit

Not really, just use whatever you plan to use for juice on that wick and everything should work out well

I have a number of rebuildable attys and I love them all... SGV3, iAtty, G-Tank and Hybrid-Mini. All are modified from their original configurations and all of them work amazingly well. I plan on getting a Zenisis for a couple of reasons. It's made here in the USA, it's measurements are SAE so parts will be alot easier to source here (mostly talking about tanks ) and it's made of 316 LVM (surgical grade stainless).

 

[sacredgaming]

i dont plan on getting a zenesis as of yet. The katana serves me fine. I currently own mostly rebuild-able pv's. Orion, Odysseus, katana.

I did a wee bit of research on the Zenesis, impressive and ordered the Standard, a Mini and a Z-Atty-Pro. They're shiny

 

[BluSwatch]

Where did you see the info? I have seen a few vids, but is there a site?

Good for you!

Thanks, that was just brought to my attention.....

Gotta go look around.

I got a little somthin-somthin coming in March.

I'll either love it, and THEN be all over it, or on the threads in a panic begging for help.
