if you read the instructions about penelope you will see that you have to close liquid control if you plan to not vape for several hours, so dont forget that too yankee
I am glad that you are ok now buddy:)

I never close off my juice flow control of a night in either my penelope or ody and they never leak a drop :)

thanks VP my friend. I am glad that you use Penelope in the right way
But I have to say everything that will prevent users to have even the smallest problem with GG series. Maybe Penelope will leak because of a bad made wick-wire but even if this is a user's error I have to tell them what they have to do to prevent even a user's error.:)

Absolutely no trouble with my Penelope at all ,it's a fantastic bit of kit using it all the time I use the ready wires and supplied wick and it's fantastic...........And always a 50/50 juice wicks fine an no leaks never. I also don't bother to close down the mouth piece at night and it's fine .

I just wanted to let everyone know that the problems my husband and I seemed to have had with Penelope are long gone and I refuse to vape with anything else. We bought clear tanks from Kir Francis and could see that air was getting trapped. Hubby did some grinding on his and solved the problem. I was afraid to hurt my baby Penelope so whenever air is trapped I close and open again.

thanks Kenny, I am very glad that you like her!
Im going to have to try the tripple wick! the Penelope is performing perfectly. And its a beautiful tank! i made my own coil, the premade one that ships with it is a little too low in resistance for my liking. IMEO nailed it again with another great GG product!

cheers yankee:):)
Hey bishop! Triple wick for the win! The whole experience is a different experience. From the draw, to the flavor, everything. Definitely different across the board but the triple definitely hit the spot more consistently. A least for this one recoil that was done.

Got Penelope today, no luck with the first wick :p
Tried second one it's working good but I feel the draw too airy.
2.1 ohm with 4.4v on provari.
an someone maybe help me to fix this airy draw?
Thanks :toast:

You can adjust some of the height of the 510 connector when assembling....BUT, from my constant coiling, re-coiling, and coiling some more, AND jojo coiling and re-coiling, no matter what, it is a more airy draw. Long, slow draws work the best. So, the best for this is a flavor that you will enjoy with that type of draw. It is not a quick, short draw RBA.

So it took a few attempts, recoils, an order of black market supplies, but yes. It's working. And working nicely ONCE you adjust to Pen. I also made contact with Kir Fanis and ordered two clears. Where that helps is to be able to SEE inside so if Pen starts to "act funny" and I need to make any adjustments to figure out what was done different, I can take a look. Once performance is mastered, the clears get put away and i'll dress her up again. :D

i never had trouble with the ss pen tank, but after getting 2 clear tanks from kir i notice that after a few hits a bubble starts to form in the open juice flow gap and gets trapped under the flow control not allowing juice in the open gap. wondering what you grinded to get juice to flow down?

It DEFINATELY helps, when you are experiencing adjustments or issues, to have the clear on and SEE what's going on. When you get to know if fully, you can always go to SS again.

unfortunately, i think it might be a problem with the clear tanks. never had a dry hit on the ss tank unless i was out of liquid. with the clear tanks im having to fiddle with the flow control to make the bubble move out of the open gap so juice can flow down. anyone else having the same issue?

I definitely am not seeing this problem. But I'm not seeing bubbles there either though.
