@Sergei it is a Mirror image I noticed that in all kimeo video's but never said anything , lol glad you did thought i was crazy LOL!!

On a separate note IMEO question : I see you cut the wick one shorter than the other is there a reason for this? also should I cut them off at the base of the threads or the base of the nuts and positive connector? I notice Penelope does not wick as well, but it could be that I did not cut wick long enough or something.. no complaints here just need this clarified so I can understand it better thanks !

i set up my 3 Penelope liek the following:

-standard Imeo wick and wrap
-krinkle nextel
-400 mesh rolled with 5 wraps of 32kg

i get no leakage from the 2 with silica or nextel

i DO get leakage from the mesh one... suggestions??
I have never tried just mesh in an Ody or Penny

any good links to setups for just mesh...?

despite the leakage...oh my it is great

keep wick until o-ring on both sides super
When you say that it doesnt wick well you mean that you have burn taste?

Yes burned taste unless I give 1-3 seconds in between or every other puff.. I see that it floods easier than the ody.. I am on my first Imeo wire coil right now and it was rolled real well.. I just noticed the difference between Penny and Ody the ODy never floods but if juice control is open almost or all the way on penelope it floods,, no big deal but I wanted to point it out.. I am going to coil a new one up later today to see if same thing happens

I super excited to have penelope in my hands any day now (I suspect it to be within a day or two) :w00t:

And of cause I will need a battery portion for it to match, as soon as it is available in a near future

I'm just a bit confused about which one would be the best fit?

On a COV site I only see 2 options at the moment- Telescopic Storm and Stealth

Are those the only 2? And what is the difference?

Any recommendations please? :)

Just wanted to share a tip that some may find useful. When using my penelope with my provari I was experiencing a very airy draw. I had the centre pin about 0.5mm out from the connector threads (same as my Ody) which I think Imeo mentioned early in the thread. Setting it flush with the connector tightened up the draw which also increased the TH for me and now its perfect.
Guess it just depends on the device you use it with as they will all have a bit of tolerance to consider.

Penelope fits on all mods with a 510 connector wired. COV suggest GGTS and Stealth only because he sells GG series. But you can buy any mod you like.

penelope doesnt give burn taste super, you did something wrong buddy:)

Please check the number 20 of the list that exists on my first post of this thread about flooding

I'm on day 4 with my Penelope and I've been getting a burnt taste on every hit now. Was doing fine the first 3 days and I even refilled it twice... Liquid control is open about 2 turns. Do I need to replace the wick already? I noticed it looked pretty black around the coils last time I opened it up.

hi!
I just replaced mine after 5 days and yesterday it tasted pretty funky. But the amazing thing is that it probably cost me like 10 cents to build and replace where before I would spend between 5-9 dollars to pop in a new atty. I think it also definitely depends in the color of juice your using. Some folks replace coils daily.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks mate, I think mine definitely needs to be replaced. Now if only I didn't have to wait for the wire I ordered!
