Green arrow taste? What the hell does a greet arrow taste like? :confused:

* Without nicotine contained - So it's just flavoring? :blink:

Lote Green Arrow is a spearmint flavor. DeKang has this flavor.

I've read my share of tips and tricks to avoid shorts and probably tried all of them with different rates of success, but the one that ALLWAYS solves it for me is.... oxidize, oxidize, oxidize. If you have a short, take out your wick, turn up the heat a bit more than you did originally and oxidize the crap out of it. You might solve the problem by adjusting and fiddling with it, but in my experience it will just keep coming back. If your wick is properly oxidized it doesn't matter if it touches the top cap, bottom of your tank or whatever, since the current will never get into the wick anyway :) So here is my top 3 tips for fixing shorts: Oxidize, oxidize and oxidize some more :)

but what if your buying pre-oxidized wicks? Should i still do the quench/juice thing three times each?

If you're using an insulator like comes with the zenesis you don't have to, any other device that doesn't have an insulator or if you took it out of your Zen then it would be a good idea to be sure.

But you can still short off the cap or tank if you're not properly oxidized.

Just use all your crappy juices and over-oxidize. Finally finished all my Boba's Bounty, been using it as my wick oxidize juice. I've had an easier time with using dark juices to oxidize with (I think theres just more gunk to gunk up).

Sorry to all the Boba fans but I can't vape it but it works great to oxidize your wicks!

You need to take the wick out. Put juice on it and set it on fire and let it burn off. Do this like 2-3 times. I usually do 5-6 so I can get rid of some of the nasty juices I've collected during the years.

Have you tried the cig paper trick? Its the easiest way to fix shorts imo.

Just burn the crap out of your mesh. Either with a torch or your stove top.

You should watch all of igetcha's videos. He seems to do it differently each time (might find a procedure that works for you).

Edit: How have you been oxidizing your wicks?

Try making your own wick. Maybe it'll help or try the cig paper trick.

I usually give it a final check with a MM on the positive/negative screw and wiggle my coil/wick around. If the ohmmage stays steady you're good, if the ohmmage jumps around you got a short.

I did not get my zap yet. My experiences so far have been Atom Bomb and Orion. Those wicks came with each device. I am hoping the zen wicks with the zap are good and I can enjoy some genny

Good luck! I still need to track down a ZAP or ZAU so I can finally try a Zenesis.

Once everything works you realize it was worth it.

No worries, cerver... The ZAP comes setup. Check for shorts, fill it, vape it. Easy peasy japanesey...

I do want to say that i have not vaped any juice that held good flavor past a few days of mainly vaping it. Also i have not had a juice that changes during those few days from good to great to holy sh*&! Well Pluid is just doing that. i am a skeptical person as i have been let down in the vaping world many many times.....but pluid is the truth. And for the record i HATE black licorice. But the anise is so perfectly placed with other flavors that its really good.

Murdock. Cheers for you mate and i swear the fruity taste in here reminds me of a sweet orange zest...... o_0
