Continued to use the ZA-U on the Procyon today as the new mesh and coil settle in. Taste has improved. More mellow.

The draw is kind of quirky. It likes a cigar like draw as Zen pointed out in his video ... but that's a little quirky for this MTLer. So ya know what, I decided to try the boost feature on the Procyon. I'd never felt a need to use boost on a Kabuki with a modern drop in coil, but wanted to try it on the ZA-U to see if I could get a nice normal MTL draw similar to a drop in coil. SOooo ... 1.8@7.2 and Boost #2 ... that's the sweet spot for me going in. So dang good.

Some of you guys have been using or have used the Z Atty for several years and have your preferences dialed in ... or moved on long ago. I'm still working on it ... but think I found it. I get it !!! Hints, tips, shared experience appreciated. And again a special thank you to @Zen Knitter for "leading a horse to water" and sharing preference and experience. Much appreciated.

True Gennie attie enthusiasts hate people like me, I hog out the wick hole to a larger diameter, and build a more typical closer wound coil and wick mine with cotton. I align the coil so it sits in line with the air hole. When the cotton gets gunked up I pull it up a bit and snip it off, and use a pin to create a channel in the center of it and give it good contact with the coil. I align the air hole with the button, so the coil and wick are fully submerged when taking a pull on it while thumb firing the mod. I use a three ml syringe with the needle size supplied to fill it, as the three ml syringe seems to afford more authority in getting the eliquid into the resivoir. They can be finicky, working fine for hours on end and then suddenly give me that awful acrid dry hit. I love the flavor and smooth taste that the ZAPs give me, and when properly dialed in, there is not a better topper to be had. When things go badly, I make a really ugly face in contortions from the most unpleasant experience on earth...it's a love hate thing.

Whoa ... way ahead of where I'm at ENAUD. I'll stick with using it as Zen designed it to be used for the time being. Still much for me to enjoy there, as I work through it. Not dry hit one ... yet ... thankfully !!!

Zen~ designed the Z-Attys with 32ga wire in mind as I recall.

In fact, I don't believe he recommended anything else.

One question though @ENAUD. Since you use cotton wick and it isn't conductive like screen is, did you also go to something like 28 or 29 gage Kanthal or vape 32 Kanthal at around something like 2.0 to 2.6 ohms depending on coil size?

I think my last build was with 29ga kanthal, before that I'm pretty certain I was using 30ga, 32 was too thin and flimsy, typically my builds would be in the 1.8 ohm range, maybe down to 1.6 give or take, and I'd run them at 3.7- maybe up to 4 volts, depending on the juice. I tend to use them with juices that are coil gunkers, like some tobaccos, some of which were naturally extracted flavor, so the wick maintenance was constant, hence the pull and snip, and when the wick got short I'd do a dry burn and quench the coil with running tap water. I kinda looked at the platform as a better than dripping method to vape, because the tank of liquid buys you some time between fills, but for me, the platform is still a high maintenance form factor in my particular use of them. BTW, you got me wanting to dig one out and fire it up, been a while for me, they have been packed away since we moved...

Me too.

Haven't run one of those puppies in a dog's age.

But they will never leave.

They're pretty vapocalypse proof to be sure

@Hobbs , OK, so I dug out a ZAP with an old build and it is at 2.2Ω, currently firing at 4V with a blend of some tobacco juices and some Tobacco absolute, pretty sure this build is a 30ga wire one, and it really needs a new coil, but it is hitting pretty good with great flavor, and very smooth, I'll re-build it in the AM or maybe early PM and try to show you a pic...no promises on the quality though, I am currently photo/software/hardware challenged...

I figured for seven bucks for two of them it was worth checking it out, glad I did...5mls on board makes a world of difference when heading out the door

I missed R's info on the Chubbies, E. What are they (please)? [emoji4]
