Getting really frustrated...I started with a 3/4 wrap, was taking too long to heat up, had to take 3 or 4 puffs to get any substantial vapor or TH, so i dropped a wrap, way better vapor but the taste is not great, think it dries the wick out too fast....so I went back to the original set up, flavor is a bit better STILL not pure as it should be and very slow to vaporize....using 32 kanthal, maybe i should drop down to 30, I have some on the way....Anyways have sore neck muscles from straining trying to get a decent vape :( I have the same juice in my Penelope and it rocks my world, big clouds and great flavor...what the hell am I doing wrong??? I really want to love this thing but it is really starting to irritate me. I still have things to try I suppose, maybe i will go back to a fatty wick, still waiting on the 500 mesh from the coop, using 325 right now....Anyways just had to vent a little as my wife just rolls her eyes at me ;)
Sounds like you needed less resistance which you achieved by dropping that one wrap, but in doing so you made it too hot for your wick to keep up with pulling juice. You can use the same wrap on a faster wicking wick for one thing.

When you had the 4wrap of 32 did you see your juice bubbling a lot? If thats the case your original wrap may have been fine but your wick was pulling too much juice for your coil.

You can come at this problem from all different angles but I'm sure you know that. Personally I find 32g Kanthal twisted at a 5 wrap is perfect for me, roughly 1.5 ohms depending on width of wick. :) I also have had less luck with 325, using 400 now :)

People love to hate and prove others wrong. People think they are better than others, and maybe you are. Everyone on here asking what his motive was and what not...if I wanted to read a book about this I would have turned on CNN. I'm sickened by the loss the family's had to go through, but to here I resort for happiness. This forum was severely taken down into the darkest depths of sadness today, while some people are just trying to learn about the new ecig they just bought. I'm sorry to all that my comment hurt, but it's getting kinda ridiculous with the personal attacks from me1969. The last time I spoke with him, was about the iPhone situation and I had to talk him down from showing up to one of my bands concerts and "snapping my neck". Everyone has the right to post, everyone has the right to hate on someone, and everyone has the right to personally attack me. Guess what, I'm sitting here watching batman with my brother, who just got home from KINDERGARDEN, and guess what offends him as well as my parents? Vaporizing. Doesn't hurt me, I just don't talk about it.

Sorry to everyone. What's the point of being on here if its turned from iHybrid talk to shootings and sadness? There isn't and I will be the bigger man and leave. This thread is no longer interesting, it's turned into the news.

Wow. Just......wow. I was clearly wrong in my earlier post about you.

wow, some stupid comment someone made, everyone dwells over when i had some questions that could have been answered like ten pages ago... its the internet, people say stupid things, move on and get over it is what i say. focus more on your thoughts and prayers to the family and ignore what the person said.
he was trying to make light of a bad situation. may not have been the best way to do it but he did, so you guys can all get down from the soap box, im sure he gets the point after the first 4 pages of comments.
What was your question again guy-who-looks-like-that-guy-i-know? I'll see if we can find ya an answer. Sorry for the delay except not too sorry since we're not tech support, just helpful people.

What PG/VG ratio are you using? I also use 325 mesh and a 32 guage 3/4 wrap without any issues...

Right now using a 50/50, I know it is a bit thicker....it just seems that even with a fresh battery the coils take forever to heat up.

I have a little bit of pre-cut stuff for the CHID, I was thinking of trying to combine a couple pieces to make one wick lol.....Yes it was bubbling which is why i dropped a wrap, but it seems the only way i can get really nice flavor is by oversaturation...You are right, I know I have some more options so I am off to play with it some more :D Not giving up just getting it off my chest :p Thanks you two :)

I pm'd you saying I like trolling? Hummm, you've moved to a new level, with lying... Your messages were sent to ecf due to what you said and they suggested I bring them to local authorities incase something happened? I asked them not to ban you, bc I thought that would fuel hatred towards me and you would act on that hatred. If I was a troll, would I ever tell a person that takes offense to my comments, that I was one?

I learned many years ago that the worst way to deal with someone is to keep arguing. If you simply...let it go...don't give any attention...the person has no fuel and therefore runs out of things to say. It's no fun to fight with someone who doesn't fight back.

Just sayin'



So! I can't wait to get a synthesis, huh?

Was watching the video about the twisted coils for iHybrid-- what does this do? Just curious.. have played with it before on my gennies but really don't know why people do it. (pardon for the stupid question - I can make 'em and vape 'em but I really don't know too much beyond that)

Try vertical trimming maybe 1/4 inch all the way up the wick and re rolling make it more like a straw well a very fine hole of a straw, i get this weakness when the wick is too fat and has a hard time wicking all the way up

Man some awesome stuff coming from iHybridMods soon :thumbs: I'm really excited for the new switch too. What do ya think about it?



Sugar skull....absolutely!!! And I LOVE the new switch...well, the look of it, since I've not actually touched one...LOL. I think it adds to the LEs design.

I think it does as well. I like the next two LEs that are coming out, but the sugar skull is really sweet. I'm just bent towards darker things. I always have been. My wife is actually bothered, because my 7 year old is too lol.
