Why dont you try putting the cotton all the way down in the channels, that stopped the bubling and floding for me

Hi mate, thanks for your comment. I tested this by leaving the entire canal cotton, have opened 3 ½ turns and the result is the same: after a few good puffs again bubbling in the drip.
The worst thing is that if I leave the penelope I'll never know why it happens: (
3,5 turns is a lot. I open mine from 1/2 to 1 turn according to the liquid
I bought my peny v3 to do cotton setups J3suss, I never tried a silica setup so I can't help you too much. But like Ariel suggested, try making smaller diameter coil. And if you want to use silica strictly don't make microcoil because in my opinion silica doesn't wick fast enough for microcoils, but try both and see. Just make it smaller in diameter, maybe you wont have to turn the MP so many times if you do that.
Hello. Can anyone please advise me about building with titanium wires? I want to build a 0.8ohm setup on a Penelope v3 with titanium wire and don't know what gauge wire I should buy and how to build it.
Ideally, I want to use either the 32 or 40 gauge wire so it's easier to work with. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) Which one should I buy?
What drill bit size do I need to use and how many wraps should I make to get 0.8ohm resistance?
I'm sorry if this might be a simple question but I don't have an ohm checker/meter and I don't know which wire I'm supposed to get and don't understand what it means that titanium has half the resistance of kanthal wires.
Thank you very much in advance! You're advice will be greatly appreciated.

I think you should seriously consider buying an ohm meter. It's very cheap and will secure your setup. Low resistivity of Ti could be dangerous.
You're right. All kind of wires would have the same effect on the batteries in case of short circuit, or too low resistance for the batterie discharge capacity. Increased danger with Ti comes from the fact that your regular 5 wraps coil might kill the battery ... So better check with proper resistance checker to be on the safe side
I haven't worked with titanium wires. But 32 size and 40 size is a big difference in size. The higher the number means the thicker the wire. And the thicker wire provides less resistance....lower ohms.
I use 32 gauge for faster heating. I use a very small length of 32 and can achieve a .08 ohm coil. But more wraps of a thicker wire can achieve the same resistance...ohms. Some might prefer more wraps of a thicker gauge because it provides a bigger heating surface.
There's no way to tell what ohms you have without an ohm reader or a multi-meter. An ohm reader is more reliable than the latter.

Thank you for your help, monkkx and Sad Society. 
I will heed your advice and procure an ohm reader for convenience and safety reasons. I didn't realize its importance till you explained it.

I use 5 wraps with 0.25mm ti spool and it's 0.8oh. With 7 wraps it comes 1oh with 2mm screwdirver.
Cool, you've got the wire I was going to try too Igatos. 7 wraps - 1ohm is for a regular coil? or micro?
I think you meant to say "Lower the number". 28g wire is thicker than 32g wire
It is for regular coil, but the wraps was very close to each other
Also I use rayon fibre it's amazing
tastes like silica

I didn't look too much but I got the impression that the majority of people felt like the rayon has similar, not better flavor than cotton and I have cotton that can last me a lifetime. I want to see the next best wick or even the next liquid delivery system

I've bought organic cotton from different brands and it wasn't the same. I don't know if its a placebo effect but Rayon seems like it has a cleaner and stronger flavour right of the bat compared to any cotton I've tried. I also believe it wicks better than cotton.
I've tried many times organic cotton and I didn't like it at all, I still prefer silica but with rayon I find a very similar flavour on tribeca like silica
