need help with phoenix bully

[fizil]

So i got my bully in today. I'm super stoked ^_^ I set it up like the instructions said with the dry burn and seasoning.

I'm having trouble with vapor production. I'm using a lavatube so I can dial in 3-6 volts. I'm not sure what the ohms are on the pre setup coil, so maybe it's clipping out the voltage or something. The issue is that at under 5v the vapor is almost non existant and it makes me cough and sneeze like crazy. 5-6v the vapor is thicker, but still too harsh and puts me in the clouds.

Anyone got some pointers on getting this bad boy set up? I've tried putting a pin in the air hole to let it not be quite as airy.

It sounds like you have too much liquid in there. Also take a look at the wicks, i had to pull mine out and restuuf them under because they were wrapped around the poles. I also gently move the coil so it was more in the middle. I have been putting about 10 drops in when i hear the after sizzle and its been working great.

ok so I think I'm getting there. I guess that you mean by centering the heater coils you mean in the tube. Because between your statement and the youtubes that were linked on the product page, I rearranged the posts diagonally so that they are just about in the center. Where before the heater coils were next to the metal tube. I take it the tube was taking away from the heat and causing me to have to over heat the coils making the vapor too harsh.

A thing I found out: you can use a straight pin or sewing need inside the hole the wire goes in to help you twist the post vs using pliers. It helped me get the angle I wanted.

So my setup went from [|:] to [%] where the dots are the posts, the lines are the heater wire, and the [ ] is the tube.

Now I need to wash out the funky multi juiced wick and start fresh. Right now the flavor is just really muted. I might trim the wicks a bit.

I've also noticed that if I lay it down and later open up the tube, a good bit o juice decides to live around the threads. Have you guys tried any o-rings? I'm thinking about taking the metal rin off and finding an o-ring to place there to stop that.
