made my first Build.. vapor is being produced afterwards

[johentie]

so i successfully made my first single coil build on my Lemo Drop..

It's working well, but i am running into an issue.

After i take a lung hit i notice that the vapor is still being produced for about 20 seconds after which is causing some build up on the channel..

i didn't notice this when i used any other tanks that use standard coils..

i am using a 26g kanthal wire at 0.9ohms.. (i was targeting 1.0ohms)

is this normal?

Yeah it's normal, when you take your finger off the fire button, continue to inhale and you'll get the rest of the vapor.
I've noticed on mine that after a deep huge lung hit i get vapor creeping outta the air holes.

The coil is metal.. It is heated to make vapor. You ever known metal to instantly cool after heating?

Continue Draw a second or so AFTER release of fire button. Will help the coil cool faster and slow the build-up of the gunkies. Try to increase fluid , better wicking, more fluid also helps cool the coil, yes more juices reduces build-up of gunk.

thanks guys,

yah i would assume the metal would continue to heat the liquid... but the OCC coils on my subtank didn;t have vapor creep nor did my protank 3 or aerotank mega..

Thanks for the tips

the 26g wire that you used was probably a lot thicker and takes a lot longer to completely cool than the coils in those

This guy said it continues to make vapor for "20 seconds"!!! Are we all just assuming this was an over-exaggeration?? Cause it almost sounds like his fire button may be sticking on if LITERALLY 20 seconds after you stop dragging it continues to produce vapor! There is something wrong there!

but of course, if this "20 seconds" is just an over-exaggeration, then yes, continue to drag after you release the fire button and that should help to eliminate (not stop it completely) but reduce that build up.

Dont most regulated devices cut off after 10 seconds?
