Need help w/ Genesis Style...

[RsK0807]

First working coil/wick setup I had on the did was great, put out good vapor and great flavor. Just did a full clean on my DID and made a new wick and setup a 5/4 kanthal a-1 32 coil. Now I'm getting great flavor, but barely any vapor. Coil comes out to 1.4ohms after a day of use... What could be the issue here? Using a 50/50 blend & 400 mesh...
Help is appreciated...

With a 5/4 wrap, using a 32 kanthal, how are you getting such low ohms. Are you making a very skinny wick? This might be the problem. I use the allen key to make my wick using a32 kanthal, with 3/4 wrap, and get 2.8 ohms, enormous vape and flavor, using 50/50 pg-vg. I use a vv mod set at 4.5 volts.

Maybe what MMvapors sent with the DID wasn't 32 AWG... It SAYS it is on their website... I have some Kanthal on order from HouseofHybrids so we'll see when i get that...
i've been making fat wicks almost filling the wick hole...
I've used up my small supply of wire so i have to wait for that to come in the mail, but after i get everything, i'm going to try a dual wick setup, and again, a 5/4 wrap...

I never used the wire sent by mm vape, I have my own kanthal. It might be because I use a hybrid peter k method and build my coils on a drill bit, attach, and then add wick later. Makes for esay cleaning of wick, and coil because I can remove wick and leave coil. I also use a duel wick. Does really draw the liquid.

Do you oxidize both wicks in your dual-wick setup?

Absolutely, I'm presuming your talking about rolling wick one on the Allen key, then a smaller one on say a paper clip, then inserting the thinner, into the fatter. Yes I jack frost both wicks on a butane blue flame until grey.

Got both wicks oxidized now i'm just waiting on some wire. i ordered from HouseofHybrids on the 3rd (which hasn't shipped yet) and MountainOakVapors yesterday (Shipped) So hopefully by Saturday i'll be back up and running with the DiD

What is exactly the peter k method?

What is exactly the peter k method?

Then there's 'petar k's non oxidized version. It basically involves wrapping the coil around a 2mm screw then sliding the wick in, which is just briefly gone over w/ a lighter (not fully oxidized).

I haven't tried it but some say it works well. I think the cigarette paper is best for those having trouble w/ shorts imho.
