Well especially when you take it all apart like that!! :lol:

Did you wash it? Now get assembling! (And I hope there are no adventurous cats near...:unsure: )
Lol I'm a perfectionist. I took it all apart while I followed a vid so I could learn exactly what each part was.

Question... Initially I got a pack of 50 precoiled wicks just to start us off. But I want to build my own too of course. What is the gauge of kanthal I should be looking for if I'm aiming for around 1.5 ohms?

Good job! You should be very proud of yourself that you did so well on your first try and that you are willing to take it a step further.

Ok I need a little help!

I've been getting some burned hits intermittently. So it's not wicking properly I guess. Now, remember I said I got some precoiled wicks to start us off, until the kanthal comes. I'm wondering if it's these coils that are causing the issue, or if it's likely my juice channels are too shallow. I'd rather not take it apart again to look at the channels if I don't have to lol... It's hard to get my juice out of that thing without it being messy. I will attach a pic of the coil (keeping in mind I have to wrap one wire half way around so the tails come off opposite sides).

Also, a prime puff immediately fixes this taste problem, it's just only a temporary fix.

I've also already made the airflow as small as possible (even though I don't prefer it that way) to allow more suction into the channels.

If you're going to run it on the mvp use 29 or 30 gauge. Anything thicker doesn't heat up fast enough at 11W :)
