The Kayfun 3.1 clone I'm vaping right now is guzzling juice like a big V8 goes through a gas tank! It's coiled at 1.6Ω and wicked with cotton. Nothing fancy, a 6 wrap coil and some 3mm ⊘ cotton, just laying on the deck on both sides of it.
Some two hours ago I washed it, installed a fresh cotton wick and refilled with 3ml of a 50/50 DIY juice. I've been vaping it on a 18650-900mAh ICR ePipe with a VapeSafe2 (Ohm' Law Calculator gave me ~8W for a freshly charged battery reading 4.1V on my el-cheapo multimeter). Now it shows barely a few drops of juice through the atty window. I know a lot of it gets sucked into the chimney chamber and even some might be on the lower chamber, although usually no more than a bit wetness shows there between washes.
What gives? Is someone experiencing this too? Other builds with silica seem to make juice last a bit longer but not much. I'm not sure if the diameter of the coil (2mm) or the ammount of wick have much to do with it. I'm getting huge clouds and the taste is great; also, as this juice is home made, cost is negligible. However, I wouldn't want to load it with some of my (expensive and hard to get) Naturally-Extracted-Tobacco.com NET's which carry not only the purchasing price but long wait as they're custom made and lengthy and high priced international shipping.
Suggestions much appreciated!
