I've got this little beauty together with big boy Ody. I coil a 1.5ohm for my Ody and coiling the same ohm for Penelope, both the resistance and coils are nearly identical. Here's the issue, I am not getting clouds of vapors from Penelop compare to Ody, I recoil them a couple of times and it's still not giving me much vapors... I swap the Penelope onto a Provari only then I get much more vapors, I've also swap the Ody onto my GG where the Penelop was encountering the "not much vapors" issue. Both batteries were fully charge at 4.2v. I do not understand this. Could anyone shed some light to this?

I would try one or both of the following and see if you get a different result.
Method 1 wrap the negative wire around a wick a couple times
Methos 2 try the negative wire under the ring like on origional ody setup.
I recommend these because I have had builds that tested fine with a multi meter and fired but they just didn't preform. But when I use either of the 2 above methods I never have this issue. It kinda reminds me of a car battery. Sometimes if your battery cable is loose you can gt the radio and wipers horn ect but it just won't crank. But tightening the battery connection and it fires right up. Same thing with Ody sometimes. The negative wire is in the channel and making contact to it tests at proper resistance but it just doesn't quite have a good connection to get the full ampherage out of the battery.
BTW this is all just an idea of mine and may be way off base. But try the methods I've listed above just to see. Also is your Ody using the GGTS base or the 510 base? And when you use Pene on your GGTS are you using a stealth cap adapters or what method?

I agree with Fright there that the neg wire might be your issue.
When I first coiled my Penelope it was a bit inconsistent and I realised that the neg wire wasnt making a solid contact sitting in the metal channel so I popped it under the ring and tightened it down and it worked perfectly.
Next time I recoil my Penelope I will be winding the neg wire round the tail of the wick in the channel and that will give a good solid contact.

I think I'm having the same problem sometimes.
I always make 1,6 ohm coil (2,4 cm of 0,16 kanthal) but when I set it up it comes to 2,4 ohm.
It is negative wire connection for sure.
I will try the old school setup with wire under the ring.
Will I get leaks if I do it that way?

My ody is using the GGTS base. And Pene is on the GG with stealth cap, no adapters as this is a gg stealth.
I lock the negative wire by the old school way even with my new Ody v2. I am using mesh hence, it will be better this way. I am also pretty sure i tightened everything hard.
If you are getting lots of vapor from the Ody on the GG device but not the Penelope. It sounds like the Penelope is not making good contact with the GG? device. Try adjusting the center pin on your GG device, and try again.
Hope this helps

If you are using a mesh wick, you might not be getting enough airflow on the Pene. Try cranking the ceramic housing down more to get a longer center pin, then lock it down. The Pene doesn't have the air slots on bottom like the Ody V2 also the mouthpiece has smaller ID. Both restrict the draw a bit.
Yes it happen on both stock wick and mesh. I am just using only SS mesh, no funny modification such as mesh wick or whatsoever. And I;m pretty sure I've a very airy draw so I doubt it's airflow issue though.
I think you need more heat with the mesh. It seems to work like a bit of a heat sink. Also the Penelope seems to act more like a heat sink too, being longer. If I change my Ody from short mode to tall, with same coil I have to bump it up almost .5v to get same results. Only real difference I can see is longer mouthpiece(with liquid jacket) allowing vape to cool. If you chain vape for a bit and warm everything up does it get better? When you add SS mesh you should call her Genelope!
