Looks good but harsh TH

[Rohape]

I've been reading as much as possible before posting. I've made a few coils with 34awg Kanthal A-1. Built a new coil this morning with 32awg, fired up quick and even with steady 1.8ohms (mechanical mod 3.7v) 3/4 wrap, vaped great. Now it's hitting weird. Lots of vapor, looks like it's still heating evenly (vapor from all over the wick), when I inhale it's overpowering and very little vapor on the exhale.
I'm clueless what it could be. Only possible thing I can think of is some wicking issue, but I'm not experienced enough to know if it's too much or not enough juice reaching the coil.
Thoughts? Thank you!!

The coil looks OK. Is the hole in the cap lined up with the wick?

Did you check is it still 1.8ohms now? I've experienced that with my aga, sometimes the ohms drop and gives a funny taste.

I never paid attention to the vent hole, I will now though.

Yep, 1.8 this morning (6am) and 1.8 at noon (EST).

It tasted and hit great earlier. I've read that as a coil settles in the resistance or even heating can change. What's the best way to test even burn without pulling out the coil and going dry? When I ran it this afternoon, I burned till the coils started glowing. The upper coil glowed first, but I figured its just because its furthest from the juice. It took a good 10 second burn to get glowing.

Hittin like a champ again. Never would have thought of this. Thanks! Now to try different positions for different hits....

Even better... if you bore out the airhole a bit... you get less TH and MORE VAPOR!!!!

You're welcome.

I may do this on my back up T2 when I order it. I like some TH.

I'm a fan of zero TH and clouds, so my AGAT2s airhole is at 1/16.

Have you tried 26 guage kanthal?

That means your connections are loose somewhere. A given length of coil should retain the same resistance (within 0.1ohms). If it's varying, tighten everything up and that issue will disappear.

No, just 32 and twisted 32. I have some 28 coming in the mail this week.
