Penelope official and tips and tricks

[Aron Gatt]

Greek seller and Bruce have plenty of wick Aron. There is no way you stay out of wick any more!

Yes ..but I both a good amount and ended up tasting horrible ..... I guess it was fiberglass silica wick....

Is there any real defferance or maybe I just got a batch that's bad .

I didn't get this from Bruce or VASILLIS I got this on eBay ... Ended up worse

 

[imeothanasis]

my wick is tested, its safe and also tastes exellent Aron. Maybe you forgot to burn it?

No it's not yours ...I got it from eBay

 

[imeothanasis]

yes, I know buddy. But try my wick and burn it first

 

[SheerLuckHolmes]

Could you explain 'burning the wick' or direct me to a link that shows this?

 

[CyberDj]

If you have a torch for SS mesh oxidizing use that. If not, use a simple lighter. Burn the wick all around several times. This will remove all dirt might got on it during production and procurement. Very important: before you start to work with the silica, wash your hands but with something without strong odour. Even if you torch, burn the wick once you grab it with not clean hands you put a lot of stuff on it.

Thank you for the explanation Cyber, I always asking my self why the first day or two the vapes was ugly, and now I know why.

Thank you all guys for the patience and thank you all for the explanations I've found in almost all subjects that make us understand day to day use of our equipment.

Can anyone tell me what the O.D. (outer diameter) and length of the Penelope is? Thanks!

 

[imeothanasis]

17mm diameter and 47mm in length without its mouthpiece Tie

You should also "preheat" your resistance wire by holding it over a flame just until it turns red (only takes a second). Do this before you wrap your coil to eliminate the metallic taste.

Oh and above all, glowing wick means HOT wick. Do not drop it while it's hot. Just sayin.

Ok been vamping for years and lately been really interested in a rebuildable atty. after months of reading I want a Penelope. Will another run be made for sale in the US or is something new on the way to replace it?

Thank you very much for the explanation, my dear friend River, I never did it and I will try it today when I change the coil to my Ody.

My Penelope is not wicking well using 3.5mm silica wick from e-smokeguru. Wicking is good though using three 1 mm or two 2mm down the channel. I don't get it.

I'm sure Imeo will produce more because Proteus, the mod specifically designed for Penelope is in its final stages of development. However, Imeo will begin production of Athaka, and probably Achilles before another run of Penelope. Imeo has stated that the presale for Ithaka will start in about 10 days if you're interested. You can find a used Penelope in the forum classifieds if you're in a hurry for it.
