You know, I actually kind of like the open draw...... Now that I've learned how to pull on the ZAP better. Because the draw was so light I was drawing too softly, thinking it would build up thicker vapor, but was just burning the juice and tasting the wick and coil. Turns out if you pull on it just below the point of whistling it produces much more vapor.
Also, now that I'm passed the dry hit fear, I've cranked the volts up and am really clouding. I'm now rocking 4.5 with the 2.1ohm.
Very cool! After reading your thread today, I broke it back out and messed with it more. It is definitely improving. Really hard finding that correct draw. Like you mentioned, I tend to draw light for fear of the dry hit...hehe..nasty. I feel positive I will get it. I have way more determination than patience.
Are you using ceramic wicks still or did you switch to SS mesh? I am trying the SS mesh too, just to see the difference.
