Hi guys...
Recieved my did yesterday and spend all night setting it up.
Rick, your videos really helped me understand how important it is to burn and oxidize the wick over and over again - and how long it should take... I mean, before (with my vivi nova's) i would spend a couple of minutes on it, but yesterday I spent like 30 minutes on the wick alone..
I got it to work late last night... Using .20 kanthal wire and got a resistance at 1.4. I prefer high resistance, but for now it's okay...
The hardest thing for me was to wrap the wire around the wick. Tonight, I'll probbaly try to make a new wick, but wrap the coil on before I place the wick in the DID.
One thing I learned though, is that the awfull metallic taste is caused by the kanthal and WILL go away after a while (if you didn't burn the wire enough to begin with).
To others who are new in this game of rebuildable atomizers; oxidize, oxidize, oxidize
