The perfect genesis setup

[pdib]

I did it freehand. If you can get or have a pair of those rubber-dipped gloves, it's not very hard. I ended up doing it twice because I drilled out both the wick hole and post hole.

S-Wit, are you double wicking? U-wicking?

U-wick, three strands of 1mm hemp. Surprisingly good performance and very simple setup.

yes the set up i was referring to is not for the did clone, but for my ac-9 and aga-t, which has a bigger wick then the clones. i never have tried so many few wraps with the 30g so im not sure about it drying out the wick. hopefully the 28g will make the difference. i have done 2/3 wraps with the 28g @0.6Ω and no wicking issues at all. sorry i have to re check the thread to see what kind of wick you will be using this set-up on. but like i said before with this low Ω set-up with the 28g and 0.8 coil you are after, for one it should be on the aga, and 2- a much bigger sized mesh then the 40mm, also it should be oxidized. now all bets are off if attempting to use the peter k method and an un ox wick, for i do not know the end results of this set-up because i have never done it that way. i am not saying it wont work, but just havent tried it that way. and yes a mechanical mod for sure.

If you did a 3/2 wrap with 28g without issue, that tells me my wick is not keeping up. 40mm is too small like you said. I removed the 3/2 30g coil and re-used the 40mm wick with a 5/4 32g coil and it works fine. This is only at 10W so the small wick didn't have trouble keeping up. Vapor production is not that great though. I'll build a bigger wick setup on the AGA-T when my 28g arrives. Thanks, vapdivrr!

So towards the original intention of this thread, we see that troubleshooting these setups is about understanding the different variables and how they interact with each other and tweaking each until it works. In this case, it looks like the relationship of wick dimensions to power level.

cool huysus, good luck
