Vapor is great but the flavor is still muted. I'll try a different kind of wicking material when this one needs rebuilding. It's working too good to tear apart at the moment.
as far as i can see good vapor is optimal from a functional standpoint... let us know if a different wicking material affects the taste. Muted is not optimal flavor, but better than burnt or harsh imo...
could it be the juice?
you could compare it to an iGo L i.e.

Yeah, I can tolerate the muted flavor for awhile as long as it isn't burnt or harsh.
I have the same material (2mm ecowool) in my Penny and the flavor is great. I have 1mm ecowool in the RM2 and there isn't much flavor. I don't think the 1mm holds enough juice, that's why I got the 3mm for the RM2. But I can't make a microwick with the 3mm without choking the wick. I have some Nextel and cotton braid to try next.
Edit: Same juice in both atties.
funny; i have a 1/16th nextel silica XS116 in my Penelope... tight wrapped micro at 1.5 ohms 28g wire.
I get harsh all the time; i think because its not wicking... either 1. the braided sleeve XS116 is not wicking or 2. i made it too tight; choking the flow under the coil....
SuperX ?what do you think... i used a needle to stabilize the coil when i wrapped... i can use a big luer for more channel in the wick.
Do you have the juice control open as far as you dare? If you used a needle inside the sleeve when you wrapped than it shouldn't be wrapped too tight unless you used a very thin needle.
Bro, sorry, I've never used a genny /Penelope. What I do know is that the 1/16 (or 1/32) number is referring to the inside diameter of the hollow part, not the outside. So, yes, perhaps choking if your trying to fit it thru a 1/16" coil
well it was a sewing type needle the kind you use for like hemming...so dern skinny

The Nextel and ecowool are hollow woven sleeves. You can run a large straight paper clip through it.
yeh i opened the pene up a whole lot... much better, but will re coil next tank..
as far a muted flavor; have you broken in the coil? my micro Reo is getting better :0

The coil I think is still being broken in. I haven't been using it exclusively so it will take a couple of days.
Well, got my first Reo and made my first coil for my RBA 2 tonight. I have to say I was dead set against using cotton. Now, after struggling with that $%%# silica, I'm gonna have to get used to changing out my cotton often...
Anyway - I made my coils big enough for the silica so they're not the micros I see here BUT -- I got 6 coils, 1.0 ohms on 30g wire with cotton wick. (I really did try a pic but...well...I'm a decent coil maker but NOT a decent photographer. lol) I will probably shoot for 1.5 or so, but honestly this seems fine at 1.0 ohms right now - so I'll wait for the coil to die before replacing it. No sense in waste, and all that
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial!♥

Thanks Y! Hey, if you got 1 ohm with 6 wraps, it must be pretty small diameter though. Good work.
Good luck waiting for the coil to die! I've never had one die, but the longest I could go w/o a rebuild was 3 weeks or so

any reason why I am getting really wet vapor, then like a REALLY harsh burnt throat vapor? My coil is reading 1ohm on my Zmax ( just using it to check) 32g wire with cotton ball, 6 wraps.
This is EXACTLY how I am vaping right now. this coil and wick are only a couple of hours used TOPS.
Very hard to tell from the pix, but is that wick burnt or is that the color of the juice?
Can you get one, clear shot (macro) of the set up ?
