Lots of great info guys. Thank you for the suggestions. When I get home from work I'll cut a bit of the wick off to thin it out. I was having the same issues with a 4 wrap of 30ga and I had assumed the loss of flavor may be due to too much heat at the coil. 3" long sheet of mesh didn't seem like it would be too thick as I have heard of people starting with 4" and getting good results.

I'll test my switch for resistance before I mess with things too much. I had previously used a sheet of 2x2 and I was getting good flavor but it was overwicking to the point that darkened juice was leeching back into the tank so I went with 3" to try and remedy it.

Loss of flavor would lead me to assume underwicking but the coil buildup and obvious boiling at the coils points at overwicking again. Lots of conflicting evidence so it's really hard to pinpoint what's causing everything. It's taking so long to heat the wick which is the party that is confusing me the most. Could that be caused by a short in the wick hole maybe?

I'm pretty sure my coil is reading around 1.8ohm. That's plenty enough power from a carto at 3.7v from my experience so it's odd that's not enough for the iHy. 1.8ohm on my lavagen has been enough, if not too much heat for most of my juice. Can't vape most of my favorite juices in that though due to the acrylic material.

It all points to overwicking..

coils don't heat up nearly as fast if they are covered with liquid. which means they can't emit as much vapor and you'll get ess taste.

a wire underwater won't heat up at all, a wire will a little water on it will boil it off almost instantly.

I keep my coils between 1.0 and 1.4 ohms

dropping a coil and lowering your resistance so it's getting hotter faster and pinching the tip of the wick will probably fix you right up.

I think it's hard to offend people in here, which is awesome!

I think the only one I've seen pull it off was SilentDoom LOL

I tried once, instead of getting blasted the thread just went silent for an hour or so.. then I removed the post and it started back up :p
