I have a problem with my Penelope I hope you guys can help me with...

How on earth can you stealth vape with this thing?! My juice is only 50/50 and the amount of vapor I'm getting is insane!

Just kidding of course... the plumes are terrific. More than anything, Im posting out of excitement as its been almost over 3 weeks since I picked this up from Bruce at a vape meet and between doing an awful job coiling the pre-mades that i got and getting the taste of "raw" silica when I did manage to get decent at coiling I was about to throw my hands up and catch the Staten Island Ferry and give it to bishopheals (who I'm worried may love his GGTS more than his mother ;-) ). Between Imeo's great advice to torch the wick and my decision to go for the gusto and just torch everything in sight (kanthal, wick, ceramic cup,...), well... a grown man almost cried today. it vapes as beautiful as it looks. I'm now dissapointed that i dont have two so that i can go back and forth with different flavors. Baby steps, i keep telling myself. Baby steps.

It's 2:50am. I need to go to bed. Tomorrow will be a good day of vaping, indeed. Happy vaping folks!

I'm so glad you having a good time with it. When you get the GGTS We should get together if you near the neighborhood and vape in the park with our batons. Im sure it make a funny video

I am loving my Penelope, but I have one question. I think I am getting vapor lock. I am running my juice control wide open, and the longer I vape the harder it is to adjust the juice control. It still works well, and I am loving the flavor and vape, just occasionally I feel the need to take off the top cap and let it unseal (with the juice control off of course and the juice really starts flowing and its amazing)

My coil is about 2.7ohms, I am running it at 5.5 on my provari. Seems like I might just need to build a lower ohm coil and get this thing hotter and I won't have this problem? Or will I just use so much juice that it won't have time to make a vacuum. Also thought of lubing the o-rings, would either of these things help

you open the juice control when you have the first burn inhale. Then you close liquid control when you have the first gurgling. Dont let the gurgling go too big, so totally close the liquid control for 3-4 inhales and open it again but not at the same point that was before but a little less
I am still curious about something.

I have heard people discuss opening the juice control until it floods or just before.

Is the goal to open it just before that point? I mean is that the way you measure, or do you just open it a bit?

I find that closing the juice controll and opening it again usually clears this issue up for me. The TV Caramel Waffle I vape is thick stuff that gums everything up so a thinner liquid may not need this treatment but so far everything I've put on my Penelope with this juice has this issue (Stock body and clear V1 and V2 body)

I am having some luck not screwing on the top as hard, and I tried this and it helps as well. Thanks. I am just using some reduced PG Juicy Vapor juice. I believe that's what it's called.

ok we all had to get our cherry popped with Penelope. for new virgins best is leave juice control closed while vaping till you detect a int of dryness or metal taste. at this point open juice control by 1 full turn.

After full 1 turn let it sit for 10 seconds. leave juice control open vape 2-4 nice long toots. now evaluate, was the vape wet enough? was it dry? if it was wet enough leave it alone. If it was a little dry then do a half a turn on juice control to open some more. let it sit for 10 seconds. Now vape 2-5 toots. Re examine was she wet enough? was she gurgling? if she was gurgling close juice control and vape till gurgling has stopped. This happens when open juice control to much.

As you may know it has a small learning curve is all. Once you find your own custom sweet spot then it will be so easy for you to enjoy and get hit by those massive freight train that she is known to dish out.
