Noble 1 wicking issues

[evgeny131]

Hi Everyone,
No matter what I do I get dry hits on my noble 1 hybrid for the first few hits, until the coil/wick warms up...using 400 mesh,
ive tried everything, solid, straw wicks, using more wraps, still....this is the first genny i have aside from my clones that has been giving me mild wicking issues, and its really annoying....
i know the 2mm wick hole has a lot to do with it....however, once it gets going its great---
does anyone have any tips? i feel like i've tried everything....even thinned some liquid with pg, replaced solid wick with straw, changed number of wraps.....
currently using .5 ribbon, 3 wraps....straw 400 mesh wick....

call me crazy but sometimes a drip tip can be the answer....
wicking problems solved- took 3 days to get used to noble 1's 2mm wick hole....lol
the hole is too tight....lol

I drilled mine out to 1/8" it's been running great every since. If you do this you will be removing the anodizing in the wick hole. If that worrys you don't do it.
