new coils cant handle this kind of resistance on those volts rick but after 2-3 days of vaping the Ody can do it easily. I always vape an 1,4-2 ohms at 6 volts and I am the happiest in the world. I will now try the 7,4 volts on the 1,9 ohm resistance that I have put inside Ody

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm with you buddy, a relatively new 1.5ohm at 6v is an incredible vape! I've finally got the 1.8 seasoned for 7.4v and it's CHUGGING. Burned through the whole tank alarmingly quickly...

Oh dam I'm gonna be broke new ody and new p&p might get thrown out the house after a short marriage Hahaha
You'll be fine dude! Penelope is the greatest kinda woman in the whole wide world! You can hit her as hard as you want and just totally rebuild her for a mere pittance if you happen to break her!

So I tried the Mr. Krinkle method for coil building for the first time yesterday. If you're not familiar, this is with two strands of wick but only on top, where the coil is - no wick going down the channels.

I had some interesting results - massive leaking out the center post at first. Then, after about 5 minutes, the dripping slowed. A couple of minutes later, no leaking at all. This is in both short and big mode with the juice control fully closed, less leaking in short mode of course, but pretty much the same deal.

I'm guessing that this is because the wick needs to get saturated before the 'tampon' effect kicks in. Or, I'm doing something wrong....? Both short and big mode are working perfectly now with no leakage and wicking like a champ. Maybe next time I build one, I'll try pre-soaking the wick...

Whenever you build a new coil, always be sure to test it before putting the tank sections and mouthpiece on to ensure that there are no shorts and all of the coils are heating up evenly. When you first fire up the coil, fist start off by drenching the wick at the point of resistance as well as any excess wick above the coil or in the channels, a process that will ultimately potentate te capillary action feed to the coil.
Also, from the way you described your leaking issue, id almost guarantee that your nr wire is creating a gap between the ceramic housing locking nut and the base. Try tucking it in the threads of the ceramic house instead of locking it down, works every time!

I do check my coils before building the tank, and I always put 4-5 drops on the wick before firing. Apparently this isn't enough to soak the wick to the point of expanding.

I don't think it's the NR wire under the nut (I use Imeo's 'wrap-around' technic) otherwise it would still be leaking now.

Then you probably aren't removing the fill cap and oring from the top cap before refilling it or the nut that connects the center post and ceramic/ceramic housing is too loose.

I'd also like to update everyone on how my 30.4 watt monster coil is doing...it's incredible. Whenever I have the patience to acclimate a coil to ridiculous currents like I have with this one, it's all I want to vape. The vapor from my Katana and Kicked GGTS+Ody (10w) feel like a cool breeze compared to this monster, and what's more is that the flavor is outshining the Katana, even though this coil has probably burned through upwards of 30ml of COV butterscotch in the past few weeks without a single dry burn! I'm planning to film a quick demo of Kir's beautiful new clear tanks for Ody and iAtty, and I'm so happy to have a coil that does the tanks justice!
