Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

There are many variables that change the taste of a juice. The OD of the coil, whether it's coils are close together or spread apart. How you place the cotton in the juice channels. The fit of the cotton in the coil should just slightly drag when you pull it through. The base metal of the coil, and/or ratio of metals in an alloy. Temperature control or not. PG/VG ratio. The flavoring ratio of your extract vs. your base. And many, many more variables including atmospheric pressure.

Experiment, experiment, until you find a method that's right for you.


Also airflow, you have to say goodbye to a tight mouth to lung. I use a hurricane clone, I would love to use it on the tighter air flow settings but I get way more mls through my coil with the air flow wide open. Which on a hurricane, gives me an airy mouth to lung draw.

I now use RTAs instead of RBAs because keeping the coil wet at all times helps a lot too.

Disagreed wholeheartedly. Tighter, higher ohm is the way to go for me. No need to say good bye, at all.

We're polar opposites as NET is dripper-only for me. ;)

Besides... a tighter draw also increases the vacuum which means it will juice into the wick/coils. This means if yours is flooding, loosen the draw to help with that... if you are getting dry hits, tighten the draw. Of course, if the wick is too tight in the coils, it will choke off the flow also resulting in a dry hit at some point.

On the RTA/RBA's designed for higher power... they use larger wicks to get enough juice to the larger coils... but tightening the draw on these still increases the juice flow to the coils but since it also will likely lead to flooding, its usually best to leave them more open on these types of devices.

How many mls to you go through before you need a dryburn and rewick? I get about 15-20.

NET juice's are much gunkier than a non-NET due to the particulates and natural sugars etc... so they gunk much quicker. It varies a lot by juice... but I think 2-5ml is about average before they need cleaned somehow ( dryburn or a rewick etc )... also since most of the wicks are now going with cotton, dry burns are out of the question as well.

I Vape my homemade "big spirit" I get about 15 to 20 mls in my hurricane rta before I need to re wick. It's not a cloud chasing high power rta.

In a pinch, I have used a bristle pipe cleaner to clean the coil. It helps somewhat.....

15 - 20ml is damn impressive.

I get approx. 3ml on average.

Though, having started spacing my coils and using 24 or 26 awg, I think I may be able to get more...basically I still dry burn and rewick at the end of each tank, at the point I used to get the dirty ashtray funk...these days less so at the end of a tank...there may be more mileage left.

I tend to be at 1ohm give or take 0.2 ohms, vaping at 14-17 watts with airflow usually wide open. Not clouds, but reasonable amount of vapour for 10mg liquid.

perhaps there is two best options for nets, at the opposite end of the scale to each other...

1. Low ohm, high wattage, open airflow - benefits from higher heat on coil burning off those sugars etc

2. High ohm build that benefits from the large coil size

I never dry burn. I just replace. Kanthal is dirt cheap, and there are safety questions with dry heating wire. Also, I use rayon, so it's probably apples to oranges.

That said, I change frequently. I wick coils by the dozens in a sitting. Pull, pitch, replace. Takes a minute and my vape is always fresh.

A q-tip dipped in alcohol works well too. Swab it down and it'll be good for a few more mls. Won't be completely clean, but it'll buy time.

Okay sir boomer. What does jld means ? I only know JCVD
