Zephyrus, help.

[JonasDK]

Hey guys.

I can't seem to get my zephyrus to wick correctly. I feel like I've tryed every wicking method out there, but nothing really seems to work for me. I'm not exactly getting dry hits, but I can taste that the wicks aren't getting saturated enough.
I've been thinking about putting in bigger coils, to see if that would help. Right now I have 2mm coils in there, and I thing that I might be able to squeeze in a couple of 2.5mm coils. But I feel like it would mess up the airflow.
What do you guys think? Any advice?

I had a Zepherus but sold it.

Sounds as if the cotton is too tight inside the coil. Re wick and have the cotton fill the coil but a little bit loose so the wick can slide inside the coil.

Good luck, and it's a great tank once you get the wicking right.

You might also have a bit too much in the channels. Can you post a pic of your build?

I've used 2.5mm coils in the zephyrus, still had good airflow. Try posting a pic, tough to say what is wrong without it.

Wicking its tricky , I've tired grims method, and a couple others. It's been a pain to get right but when you get it right and it doesn't flood all your juice out it's a great tank with amazing flavor. it does guzzle juice down but worth it!

I've tried putting in 2.5mm coils, and they actually worked pretty well, except that they restricted the airflow quite a bit. And since the airflow was the main reason why I bought this tank I would really like to get the 2mm coils to work.

I've also tried a few different methods, and grims is the one that have worked the best for me. But it's still not quite there.

I'm just going to re-wick it, and post pics of how I do it. Maybe you guys can see what I'm doing wrong.

So I just re-wicked it, and I think that I actually came pretty close to getting it right this time.

Here is how I did it. Maybe you guys can give me some pointers.
Sorry about the picture-quality. The macro-function on my camera isn't the best.

So here is the previous wick I had in there. There's barely any cotton in the juice-channels.

And here it is all cleaned up, and ready for new wicks.

Here are the wicks cut at an angle. I also trimmed a little of the top. After I took the picture I snipped a little more of the ends.

Bend the wicks up.

Carefully put on the cap.

Gently push the wicks down towards the juice-channels.

I had cut the wicks a bit too shot, so I tucked a little cotton in at each of the channels.

Juiced it up, and ready to go.

I've gone trough half a tank by now, and I'm pretty close to getting it right.
It still tastes a little dry, and chain-vaping is defiantly out of the question.
So if you have any pointers for me I'll be happy to hear them.

Ur looks what I do, although I don't tuck the tails up when I put the cap on. I do everything the same tho, I still can't chain vape really I can take about 3-5 second hits at 60 watts stinks I love the flavor I get from this. I have to say the aromamizer rdta has spoiled me with chain vaping at high wattages with not a single dry hit

Trevor Jones on YouTube has a tutorial that I used as a guide to get my wicking right. Works great and I can take 4 or 5 long pulls back to back without any dry hits. I absolutely love the flavor from this tank. I have found that 2mm coils work best for me.
