I think everyone gets crazy when none is available. Then when it is, they go nuts and buy 100ft of it. Lets see...4 inches per setup, setup lasts...let's say 2 weeks. That's 6 weeks per foot, or 18 weeks per 3ft pack. 3x 3ft packs should last a year. How much do we really need at one time? Sure, I'll give ya 6ft for learning how to make good wick/coils. After that it's just taking up space when someone else could be using it.

I've had my first Ody since the recent release and I have to agree there is a bit of a learning curve with this amazing device but I am not even half way through my first pack of wick. When it becomes available again I will buy some but I don't see why I would buy more than two or three packs now that I am used to setting this thing up. Anything more than that for me is overkill.

The one problem i've been having with the penelope is that its only lasting me 3 days of heavy vaping. After that it clogs up and have to change the wick. I dont know if its the juice im using or what....

I will be doing DIY soon when i get my supplies...lets hope it lasts longer with cleaner juice.

Same here really. I DIY and I think it makes a spot of a difference if you don't mix stuff too dark. I use the krinkle method for my wick and I think it helps save on wicking a bit

I'm finding you will have to rinse the coil off at least once every 2-3 days under hot water till it's clean. Even more so if using heavy VG content liquid. I just remove the tank body, and mouth piece, and rinse it under pure hot water till the wick/coil is mostly white again. I then used compressed air to dry it off, and I'm ready for a few more days.

I'm getting roughly two go's like this before I need a new wick/coil setup. Anything longer and the flavor starts to suffer. AKA a single wick/coil setup lasts maybe a week tops.
