Three days into my first Exocet build and couldn't ask for a better vape although I can't comment on flavor (only vape non-flavored), and my build isn't for cloud chasers. I started tootling along at about 7.9W and "felt" and listened as the new build settled in and I've worked it up to where it is now after three days.
29ga (May be hard to find. Found at FastTech) Kanthal 7.5 wraps @ 3mm
Currently 1.68ohms @ 9.6W
Non-flavored 50/50 12-18mg
After wicking, I used some of the left over cotton to "close" off one of the air flow holes in the base, beneath the box rather than use the air flow control ring. One thinking was that the cotton would also help reduce collected condensation and soak up any leaks, but I haven't noticed either. I always continue to inhale after releasing the fire button, so that helps eliminate condensation too, regardless of build or bridge.
Next time I wick, I think I'll try to leave a little longer wicking, angle cut it or something so the wick reaches a little lower in the box. I have the Exocet sitting cross corners in the box, to expose as much fluffed wicking as possible to the liquid.
I'm running a 1.8ohm Nautilus bridge in another box as well as 1.8ohm Nautilus coils in my ProVaris/Kabukis. This Exocet has noticeably denser vape as well as greater volume for the same inhale effort. Very pleased.
This is the build video I watched several times before building mine. Couple of excellent tips in it to avoid any gurgles and flooding issues anyone might have with the Exocet (slightly twist top cap, tuck wicking in at the bottom of the wicking holes). Those tips must work, as neither of those issues are in my first build.
