Ok, teach me.
I own two Penelope, the second one is pretty recent, and i have the first one since barely a month.
Now I always read about suggestions to run Penelope/Ody properly, but it would be equally interesting to hear from experienced GG users what could potentially go wrong, and what does more often.
My experience in the last four days: given the opportunity to make some experiments with the second Penny, I tried mesh. Ok that's it for me.
After this disaster I decided to immediately back to the usual wick setup, in fact I had received new wires - what a good opportunity to play around. Four days of struggling. No vapor, bad taste, no hit, impression of blocked air flow. One new wicking a day, constantly getting bad results. Now, I'm obviously not a master (first rebuildable in my life), but at the beginning I always ended up with pretty decent results.
Then I thought about changes, and the only obvious one were the new wires. This evening I found a little bit of the old ones (no idea about materials and reseller, the guy who sold me my first Penny gave me some to get started) and.... here it is again. Excellent vape again.
I bought my wires form wires.co.uk and have Kanthal (0,20 and 0,15) Nichrome (0,20) and Silver (0,20) as no res wire.
Any suggestions?
To european users: where do you buy your wires?
Am I missing some basic steps?

Are there steps you would particularly recommend attention for?
I really would like to understand what happened, and I really would like to keep my wires and be able to use them successfully, I own enough to cover the surface of a football field... :lol:

Maybe wires.co.uk sent you wrong wires by mistake, have you checked the resistance on those wires?

If remember ok, some guys on the spanish forum had simillar issues, they bought (co-op buying) wires from wires.co.uk, they had simillar problems because wires.co.uk sent wrong wires by mistake.

Hi zio

You sound just like me a few days ego , luckily here and in Malta I have found GG / rebiuldable experts that really are nice and ready to help.. So I'll take the opportunity to thank everyone here and roszam & her husband for there help." you're so cool guys" thanks
Now I don't have a lot of experiance but since it's sounds like the prob I had il put in my 2 cents here.
I had .16 wire which is like .15 kanthal but that wire runs very hot and my penny didn't taste so good .
I will recommend and these are American measurements the AWG 30 or just around that gauge ... for a mechanical mod these will work!.
If you have the .16/.15 I'll will try to twist the wires so ull get a better result IMO . Since you have lots of wire.
Try this and make double wicks ..
take a look at bishopheals videos aswell , he covers a lot of GG stuff and will make piss in ur pants too... So get a bucket near you :lol: fuhagotabuttat :lol:

Ohh and check if the non-res wire is truly no-res cos I'll never know.

Well I'm perplexed really .... Iv got a ufs now and running good attys in it .. Now I always got told by a lot of people that nothing comes close to dripping " I hear that a lot " now I figured after owning a few rebiudables will get a ufs " it's like dripping with out the drip right " so I got one and I'm loving it . BUT I am going for the penny always ..it's seems that the penny is making my juice taste beautify ..
The Penelope is really a great atomiser I'm really over the moon with it ... The ufs is great don't get me wrong and the engineering on it is FANTASTIKKK " bish ;)" .... But my point is that who loves dripping should try penny .....Imo

Oh my queen ..oh my queen..... Penelope
