Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

I have to have that little twisted end to start the wick through the coil, (2.5), but I don't have it cut so wide that I really have to twist much to get it to slide on thru. The cotton loosens & gets fluffy just from handling it & wicks great. I juice it down, paste the ends in place to just touch the deck with a tiny arch where it goes through the coil. Plenty of juice flow, no leaking or gurggling.
Working on pics.
Ive been able to hit 1ohm but its a minimum of a 3mm id coil. I ran one in my Monster V3 for awhile but the taste just put me off and I am back to just plain ole 28g kanthal in most everything with a couple using 30g kanthal.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking would have to be done. I think I'm happy with 2.5 & kanthal. I like a slightly warm vape & don't like what I get at lower ohms.
Pics on their way!
The top piece is a pad of KGD with the 2 layers separated in half as much as possible.
The 2nd is 1/2 of that.
3rd is half again.
4th is wick.
Next pic is a wicked & juiced KF.

Very interesting to see the differences in build styles and what people use for a daily vape. To me that build just screams not enough wick.
I build more like this, the Rayon tails are not trimmed yet.
Mine is 28g Kanthal on 2.5 id, at 1.5ohms & about 14 - 15 watts. This wick fills the coil without being super tight & sucks up juice. It's not fiddly, i don't have to trim or shape tails, & I never get a dry hit. Juice holes don't get blocked either. Just wick & vape. I D2L about 3 full hits at a timeVery interesting to see the differences in build styles and what people use for a daily vape. To me that build just screams not enough wick.

SWMBO...how cool. A reference to the book "She" by H. Rider Haggard, I assume!I know good sir, all is good!
I was pondering one of the Coil Master 521 Tab's as well, but didn't need a new desktop toy to raise any questions from SWMBO...
I have never read the book. I did a quick search and just pulled down the ePub of it for my eReader.
My style is much like yours with the thinking that the extra wick is a reservoirs of liquid and can allow higher power when needed. The only exception to that rule is my Orchid where I trim the wicks as close as I can to the chimney barrel threads and trim them up pretty thin not allot of room in that one but I did dremel the juice channels to about 2 times the stock flow.Very interesting to see the differences in build styles and what people use for a daily vape.

Yup, you need the trimmed tails and shoulders with Rayon, it wicks automatically from the least to the most dense.
My Goblin Mini V2, Silverplay V1 and Aqua II all have Orchid style decks. The main part of the wick is cut flush to the chimney diameter and a few very thin tails lightly placed in the juice channels. Orchid style decks wick beautifully IMHO.
It's a slippery slope there Ms Darlink
And what fun would it be if we didn't slip and slide...
Thank you, Kenna! Great pics.

Man I just LOVE the look of the fluffy bow tie!
I used this one not sure what its called but it did the job pretty quickly. The rod next to it is a 3mm coil master jig. I did this and then drilled the airflow to 2.5mm from the outside and then down from the deck also. The Orchid frustrated me because it was too loose for a MTL and too tight for a DL. Opening up the airholes to 2.5mm each and routing out the juice flow channels to 3mm made a REALLY nice vape. When I build it I push the coils all the way down to the deck as far as they will go. They do move up just enough on their own not to short. It is a super flavor machine with a nice restricted lung inhale. Its not one of these super cloud comp types but it is impressive for what it is.
Here is the aiflow holes, if you need me too ill tear it down and show you the deck. I got this from FT it s the very first V2 clone they had so ive had it for a couple years I guess.
Dude. Thas a scary big ol' hole!Here is the aiflow holes, if you need me too ill tear it down and show you the deck. I got this from FT it s the very first V2 clone they had so ive had it for a couple years I guess.
Now that is an AIR HOLE!
Nice job, I don't have any Orchids and the Silverplay V1 has massive air as it is.
If you are looking for more air (Fully Adjustable) on the Orchid they are mixing Silverplay V1 bases with Orchid & Kayfun parts. Many possibilities depending on your spare parts stash.
