I've been waiting on the Z-Atty Pro waiting list FOREVER, finally, sick of waiting, I decided to order a DID as it was in stock on the e-vape.gr website. So my DID arrived the other day from Greece, took 10 days in total for a cost of just over $101 CND.
HOLY ^$%! So that's what the buzz is regarding genesis style attys. What an amazing difference between my ol' Boge 3.0s in my VPX Cartomator tanks and this new DID. The flavor is insane, huge plumes of vapor*, and did I mention the taste? The juices I loved are so much better, and some of the juices I didn't like taste great on the DID! I'm sold on genesis attys now, the SS mesh and build-your-own-coil is pretty easy when you get the hang of it.
Now for the *
When I first got it, I oxidized a wick and built a coil and it didn't work. I watched the coil as I was hitting the power button on my Provari and would see almost a little spark between the coil and the top brass nut that was holding the wire in place, then E1, E2, or E8 was inevitable.
I got angry and disappointed that it wasn't working right and immediately built a few more coils, still no luck. I finally managed to get a coil working but manipulating the coils into shape with a toothpick, now the coil fired but with the top coil glowing red hot and the bottom two barely going. I kept moving and shaping the coils with the toothpick until finally all the coils were glowing at the same time.
Now the coils were working, but it wasn't wicking worth a damn. It would wick if I let it sit for a few moments between vapes, I found out that while massaging the coils into position I crimped the SS wick just above the top cap of the DID and before the coils. So again, build yet another wick, and tried loosely wrapping the coil onto the mesh instead of making it tight, BINGO, instant good coil metered out at 1.7ohms and the wick was keeping up with my chain vaping.
So a lot of trial and error building that first good coil and wick but now that it's done W O W !
Random semi-related question...
On my Provari I use the 18490 1100mah AW IMR's and I'm still on the same two from when I got my Provari months ago, before, when I was using the carto's the batteries seemed to be lasting a good long while (boge 3.0 at 4.8-5.2v), now with the DID and my homemade coil, at 1.9 ohms and 4.2v my batteries are not lasting as long (a lot less time than on cartos). Is this all due to a higher AMP draw? Or are my batteries just finally dying after a long and hard life?
