sup guys and girls... im a bit irritated.
I have a sigelei zmax v3, and a pro tank.
the pro tank just got a new coil wrapped by me, 1.5mm silica doubled over, 6 wraps of 30g kanthal, showing 1.3 ohms on my zmax, no shorts, no jumpy ohms and no hot spots. the problem im having, and I've been having even before I re wrapped, is the performance is just flat out lacking and inconsistent. When I first got it, I filled it with some fake bobas bounty, and vaped, blowing great clouds of tasty vapor. that lasted a few days before I had to dry burn the coil. after the burn, it performed good. but now im just getting nowhere near the same performance. after i change heads its the same story. i get a harsh hit or two, then some good hits an then its touch and go from there. im using a high vg mango menthol juice I got locally, and im getting lame flavor, and lame vapor. its always the same. I get decent performance at the start of a tank. maybe im getting dry hits? I've removed the flavor wicks before, and all I got was gurgling and leaking. but with this new doubled over wick I have no leaks so far, and I feel like the coil is properly set up. I was really looking forward to wrapping low ohm coils on this and using it on my v3 clone I have coming in, but by the looks of it I feel like im gonna be sticking to my rda till I get this sorted out. i thought all my troubles would be solved when i built this new coil, as it seems perfect.
im at 10w running a efest imr 18650. maybe im to hot? i feel like the vapor production is lacking at anything less.
would i have better luck trying to run it using voltage instead of power?
would a different wick be better? i would think that the large silica would be sufficient.
i don't normally ask for help....but.....help?
