Rick that's insane pal, I don't know how you do that. I tried once a 0.9ohm coil in my Ody at 3.7v and it was just too much for my puny old #ss.
You telling me...my 1st ever ody coil (and I was successful!) was a 0.9 ohm dual with atomic cinacide 24mg/ml.
My heart stopped

Awesome dude! I can't wait to see some pics. Thanks for the help and the coil offer. I will PM you my address
Groovy! Thanks for the link, I will be sure to pick some up.
Here is a new configuration I'm trying out. Its a #400 stainless mesh full krink made with 30 ga kanthal and 28 ga half hard sterling silver wire.
As you can see, the heavier, stiffer silver wire allows for a straight twist so I don't need to twist the silver back over itself. So far so good...
Wow, so clean and perfect. Thanks for the info and the pics.
Wow, so much info in this damn thread. Too bad I can't change the name of it.
Thanks for the tips Rick. I just ordered 100m of 32 and 34 but I really appreciate the offer. I got NiChrome though. Would kanthal be giving me any advantage other than a bit more heat tolerance?
As for the coils. I will start heat-treating the R wire for sure. Now that you mention it, I remember reading that tip a while back. It seems like my burnt taste is definitely a feeding issue because when I drip it works just fine. Now this coil is leaking like a champ for some reason so I'll start from scratch. I guess I'll have to find a balance between JC and Resistance . You must have to flood your coils at your wattage, eh?
Thanks as always and keep vaping those Groovy, Thick Clouds!
Mine almost never floods to be honest, regardless of the wattage I'm vaping at.
How are you filling your tank? Are you using GGTS or 510 base? Im thinking you have a vacuum issue that is restricting the liquid from feeding the wick.

You probably are tightening too hard the mouthpiece nut, so loosen it a bit and that should resolve the vacuum issue. Brilliant thinking to Rick, I don't know how I didn't think of this the other day that I was racking my brain to figure it out.
Also, regarding the possible vacuum issue, make sure that the top cap o-ring is the proper size(9mm x 2mm), lubed up, and not damaged in any way.
I seem to recall Imeo catching an o-ring of the wrong size on the top cap of Funky's UFS awhile back, correct me if I'm wrong of course..
I do think Imeo says in his vids to tighten the mouthpiece nut down pretty securely though, at least I've always done so. As opposed to the UFS mouthpiece nut, which I've always left not so tight with good results. Always open to other ideas of course Definitely see if loosening it changes things at all..

Hope you get it working funky. I can be more helpful if you could make a quick vid showing us how you fill the tank once the coil is installed, will be easier to understand than just typing it out.
Thanks again guys, this thread is rich with info. I have the stock O'ring in place - and I'm definitely a Klutz when it comes to O'rings as that was the issue with the UFS. I think the vacuum could be the issue as I always ensure everything is very tight and heavily lubed. I will try it without next fill and keep everybody posted. I have been getting a lot of leaking recently too. Would that be caused by the vacuum or lack thereof?
I had solved the leaking a couple weeks ago but it has crept back. I may go back to putting the grounding wire in the channel of the GGTS base again and just tightening the nut around nothing, as that worked great for me. The wrap-around that Imeo explained in the video just never worked for me.
Also, just to confirm, I use the GGTS base exclusively.

Ok, glad to hear you're still sticking with it! I've been stalking this thread all afternoon to see if you managed to resolve your problems! Because we know your coil isn't the issue, you don't need to keep remaking them. When you finally fill up the tank ( use short mode for now!), take a dry pull to gauge the draw and ensure that it isn't flooded, close AC ring all the way (like you would on UFS), fully close juice control (do this before putting the tank section on to make sure there are no gaps and that you're able to unscrew the mouthpiece without also unscrewing the connector nut), thread on tank section and the top cap (but leave off uppermost o-ring and the small top cap that secures the o-ring), slowly fill the tank with a syringe (juice bottle works fine, but the rig will let you measure out exactly 3ml), Vaseline up your oring, slide it on so one end is pushed down all the way and the other is raised slightly so the tank section isn't totally sealed yet, then you're ready to slide on the final top cap and quickly screw it on (not too tight though, think UFSv2)! After that, open the AC and take a dry pull to see if it flooded. If it's not flooded, take a few pulls until you can tell that the coil is drying out and then open up the juice control. I start with 1/2 a turn, but you might want to go ahead and open it a full turn. If you're still having issues with getting it to wick, close the AC by around 75% and take a dry drag while pulsing the button (I've found that can help potentiate capillary actions). Last step is to happily vape away on the absolute BEST pv and rebuildable atomizer in the game right now!
Thank you Keighles, I do what I can to help out, but I haven't been doing enough of that around here lately, so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things!
You're doing a bang-up job dude. That big post was excellent. I have to ask though. What if it does start to leak with the juice control closed? Do I have to rebuild it? I have been disconnecting it from the GGTS, opening the top cap and blowing through the bottom post while tightening the top cap. This solves it every time, I'm sure I'm just creating a vacuum though because when I refill it, it usually happens again.
If it does leak, that means that there was probably too much pressure built up in the tank when you secured the oring/top cap, but its not a bad thing b/c it means that the juice is flowing. I wouldn't disassemble anything unless you dump your whole tank into the collector cup, and don't mess with the top cap/oring unless you're refilling the tank. If it's gurgling or leaky after you fill her up, keep the juice control closed, take the ody off of the air control, flip it upside down and blow through the connector post until the excess juice starts to drip out the mouthpiece. I prefer this method b/c some of the excess liquid will get absorbed by the coil rather than just blowing it all out. Another solution is to just bite the bullet and vape the excess juice away until you're not gurgling any more, but you'll be able to make the right call depending on how badly flooded it is.
Ok to try and prove my point I have this I posted a few days ago on a different thread. It is a different setup but a coil is a coil and this one metered out at 1.5 ohms. Compare it to yours (R wire is 0.16mm) and think how can yours be almost double the resistance? Something is wrong pal.

wow.. is this some kind of genesis setup?how do you setup your ody with this mesh?
