What changed the flavor?

Can a wick change the flavor? Had stainless rope with 30ga twisted with .5mm flat wire which was a pretty low ohm I'm assuming since the atty doesn't come off to check resistance. Changed the whole setup to mesh wick and .6mm flat ribbon and I know that's 1 ohm every time I do a 4 wrap but there was no where near the flavor I had with the last build. Go back to the last build or see if this one works out? I don't see that much flavor leaving with this build. Maybe so. Any suggestions?

You should be able to check the ohm just by toching a multi-meter's lead to the negative and positive post. Using a atty and just assuming the ohms is never a good idea.

as far as your question, yes a change in ohm will change flavor, so will wick style, how fresh of a charge the battery has are all factors

I would think the ohm would change more of the flavor, due to how it heats it, rather than the wick. But once you introduce multiple variables anything is possible.

Yea I'm going back to the way it was. I've built this thing over for almost a year and I've always stayed in the .4 - .6 ohm range but always using cable.

Have you ever tried a cotton wick? Lots of people swear by them.

Sterile cotton for the WIN!

I'm gonna try that. Just sterile cotton from the drug store?
