I messed with the coil a bit.burning evenly with a dry burn.if I do a long drag,top coil starts to glow

Hmm ok so how many wraps and what gauge? Twisted not? I would try and pull wick a little closer to center post by tightening coil a wee bit, and put a small finger nail kink in that top bridge. Or start from scratch using our trouble shooting / tips document.

Good evening everyone,so I'm having wicking issues out of nowhere since yesterday,drained it and dry burn but still having issues.any suggestions?it has performed flawlessly since I got it(GE v2). Maybe it's time to replace the wick?ive been using the wick for a month and a half,thanks

Have you tried the petar k method? Really effective and most ppl have little or no problems with hotspots when they use it. It is in the reference link in my sig.

I almost hold mine upside down when I'm vaping my bobas! Still doesn't fix it. Oh well, have to wait until my 500 SS mesh gets here from the CO-OP and see how that does.

I deff can't chain vape as much with GJ or bobas but I get some decent long vapes without too much issue. I think imma try a bit of a different type of wick next time when I get my 500 from that co op as well. Gunna use a smaller amount of mesh with as big of a hole goig down the middle as I can make. Just havin fun trying different stuff

Yeah once I get my HR I'll be much more willing to experiment with my wick and coil. I just really don't want to go back to my cartos if I can't get something up and running. I do want to try the small wick inside another wick as I've heard it does a better job of wicking the thick stuff.

I need to give that another serious shot. I tried that but might not have let it break in enough. Hear it takes longer
