Mini DID - Dry Burn Issues

[gogoplata]

Alright, this is my first go at it with SS Mesh. I thought I built the wicks and the coil looks right, but it seems not to be wicking on my mini DID. All I get is a dry or burned hit. I looked at the wick, it should be flowing through the capilary but the juice is not wicking.

I thought I did the oxidation process correctly. It reads at a good ohm 2.0, but nothing is drawing up. Does the wick need to be tight against the hole or thinner? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Help please.

How are you holding your PV when taking a puff?

Almost vertical... Horizontal better?

Still getting it when I hold it more horizontal and down to let the juice drip down.

Hi ... Wicking it has nothing to do with oxidizing .. So the prob is how the wick is in place ... First if you have the clone .. Then make a tight wick with no center hole and smaller then the wick hole " not touching the sides" I have both and with the Greek one I have a fat wick with a small center hole almost as big as the wick hole !! And try leaving the fill screw off to see how it wicks

This works for me

Excellent. I'll try this method and see if this works.

yes and make sure when taking a hit off of it that the air hole and wick are at the bottom of the the tank as your holding it to take a drag, the fill plug also keeps mine from wicking properly, took me a while to figure that out, but I am having much better luck now, hope yours does well for you because when they are working properly they are the cats meow
