28 gauge kanthal A1 tension wrapped around 1.58mm (1/16) drill bit. 9 wraps 1.1 ohms.


Test run



Installing the wick

Cutting the wick to size a little off the edges

Pushing wicks to form a blocking effect against floods while keeping channels empty





This is how I do it and this is how it works every time :). Blocking the flood of liquid is important when ur coil is small in diameter or else no need.

I received my Penny V3 a few days ago but only just, and my first time ever, made the coil an cotton just as you show it. Snap, crackle, pop. WoW! Amazing. I almost chain vape about a tank+ per day VG/PG 60-40 mix. How long do you think before I should replace cotton aal? And what am I going to do with my two Penny V2s now.

You can built V2 and V1 with cotton to same level of performence,just with out the micro coil,
Becouse this cracklings and great juice flavor vapor is mostly becosue of cotton and not becouse of micro coil.
Actualy the best resolt in therm of TH/FL are on Ithaka old atty and Ody ,
When using the ready made ribbon with cotton.
It's a bit more triky but worth very the effort,and on Ody or V2 it's much simpler to bedone
With regular raounded ready wire.
The only down side is that you can't change the cotton on the same coil as in micro and V3 with the same easiness.
But for me this is no issue,as once a week or two (thats 3/4 full tanks- do to using few GG attys in parallel)
I just take a new ready wire turn it on a drill,snap in new cotton,and we r on the road again.
One maybe surprise how much greater flavor and TH coming from the ceramic attys.
It's very easy is to make after few builts the same on Ithaka old attys
upto a point that we may ask why we bother so much on the micro coils:)

Edit:

Here you can see this,I made it afterward for all who share the same :)

Imeo, this might have been covered before but... why doesn't the V3 have the adjustable airflow from the V2? I must admit, I miss it!

I also think the airflow control from the V2 is a 'typical' GG type of design. Advanced and beautifully made that gives your devices that extra touch. That is the second reason I miss it on the V3. :blush:

do you want me to make a mech Proteus Dont? Most of its pieces are ready. And it will be ready for its electronics too that you can buy separately.

If it was available right now as mechanical, and add electronics later - I would probably buy one.
But, I suppose I really ought to just be a bit more patient and wait for the "complete" Proteus setup as you have it planned originally...

That's too complex. For example I would like short mode v3 with solid mouthpiece. Now imeo has to do 2 mouthpieces for short 2 mouthpieces for long. Plus v2 mouthpieces which makes a total of 8 different mouthpieces. I don't know how he's going to please everyone.

you are right aalwani - would be too much- as you know we want it all we want it now - Imeo will do what is best for all....!

Imeo, I`ve gotten so used to the short tank and now i`m finding the V3 a bit long for in my pocket. Can`t you make a short mouthpiece for it? preferably one that can use your own drip tip. I`m sure you said you were going to make them, i`m just anxious.
Thanks

+1 for short mouthpiece for Penny v3. Solid'll do me...

some people complained that they broke their mouhtpieces because they had thin walls. Thats why I stopped them Fog. And imagine that I paid a lot of money for those mouthpieces!

it will be ready to accept electronics Dont. You dont have to do anything else than take off the mech button and put the electronic one.
If it was available right now as mechanical, and add electronics later - I would probably buy one.

I am too used on small one Dutch lol. I only vape the small V2 the last 10 days.
Of course I have to make a small mouthpiece but a little later buddy. I am making a lot of parts again. I make proteus, esterigon and some missing parts. I am on fire!

exactly Electra.
I believe that I will need 2 months to make proteus and esterigon. After that, we can make the parts you like
Well.....I'm hoping for short mouth pieces V2 & V3 with the adjustable airflow? I doubt if all of us get what we want soon. Maybe after Proteus when Imeo is is doing another big parts run.

Just a heads-up ... if you have trouble with shorts when building the v3, check that you have the little plastic ring that goes between the brass positive pin and the bottom of the rebuildable section housing ... mine came missing that part. Fortunately, the similar bit from a Penelope v1 fits. Drove me mad for about an hour, though, trying to find out where my short was coming from! :laugh:
