The trouble with Rose

[Clark F]

I love this thing but the learning curve for building and wicking it has been going on for a couple of weeks now. I've had quite a few successful builds that vape outstanding but never last long. Last build got me through a tank and a half, which isn't bad but I'm wondering if I can do something better.

Using cotton, watched some youtubes and tried several size coils and wicking methods. Currently using a good size piece of cotton and splitting it up after the coil into the two channels on both sides. Works pretty good, but I'm not getting any mileage.

Anyone have any advice?

I will post the next one I build, it's on the second refill and working good right now. Shouldn't be long though, dang I may have just jinxed myself.

Nobody else. I think I've got it down, just looking for any tips.

What I've been doing with my Rose v2 is using a single coil of 28 gauge kanthal, with 7 wraps at a 2mm inner diameter. I then take a single strip of cotton and thread it through. I only use enough cotton to fill the coil diameter, but not enough so that it is very resistant when being threaded through the coil.

From there, I cut the two cotton tails in half vertically and thread them through the juice ports. I then take each of the now four tails and thread them right back through the same juice ports (with only the tiniest of cotton nubs peeking outward from the juice ports). The end of the tails should now be pointing back at the coil. Doing this u-turn with the cotton stacks more of it vertically in the juice ports, so I can keep the Rose juice control open 100% without flooding the inner chamber.

I then cut any excess off the tails, juice and vape. Been working well for me.

Have a V1 and V2 both using 26 Awg. One with 4 wraps over doubled 2mm eko to .6 ohms. The other with 12 wrap micro dual coils on a 2mm drill bit for around .8 or a tad less using cotton at the moment but will be rayon tomorrow.

Thanks so much for the help. That is what I did this last time and it worked pretty good for 2 refills, so I'm happy.

Here's one a did today, the coil it not that great though. I ruined two sweet ones I built last week trying to everything lined up and was starting to get some weird reading so wrapped one quickly as I was getting ....... Mostly the same except I didn't fold the tails back in towards the coil. I just cut them about even with the bottom base and sorts tucked them in. Getting some gurgling now, but I going to wait a bit and adjust the airflow and watts before I rip it apart.

I think tucking them was starving the coil so going to try it.

Just checked, couldn't wait any longer. Seems to be working perfect with a 1.4 coil at 3.5v using 5P CL. Very happy as it is the last tank I have of that juice.

So far this has been the best build. I think I have the kinks worked out. My build is probably not for everyone but it works for the ejuice I'm using.
