Oh. Yeah it's that.
Agreed. This is all still a big learning experience for me
Well awesome. Now I can sleep easy. Good practice run for me then
But now you have to run it in TC. For science!Well awesome. Now I can sleep easy. Good practice run for me then
For science! ... Once I manage a consistent experience I shall do that
... learnt something else tonight: my BB can do TC
Wet wicks and dry hits.Thanks for all the tips and tricks and info tonight guys. I appreciate it
I'm clocking out for the night. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
Forgot to mention, I notice something rather bizarre on mine too from time to time. My ohms stay stable (0.43 rock solid), but the volts jump. It'll fire at 3.14V the one moment and then in the same hit go up to 3.6V. All the while with the resistance staying at 0.43 ohm. Watts set to 23W.
That'll for sure cause dry hits. Just not sure why the volts are jumping..
Maybe I'll give the Insider some more love for a while. I'm crazy about the Exocet, but it's temperamental nature is frustrating.

And that is exactly how my day started :|
Gurgling and dry hits. Luckily I have the Boxer Rader coming in and Amir wicked my Ammit perfection so I have an alternative tank setup to keep me sane while I fight with this BB.
Show us a pic of your exocet? The way it is now, just take it out of the Boro.

Looks fine actually, but take a pick and flare them open a bit. Maybe shorten just a tad as a further step later.Best I can do for now:

I shall shorten and flair them a bit tonight. I've gotten a couple of good puffs out of it at least
What'll work for now is to take a "dry puff" before you take an actual puff, to draw juice into the wicks. It's annoying but it'll get you through the day.I shall shorten and flair them a bit tonight. I've gotten a couple of good puffs out of it at least
Thanks for the tip. I will keep it in mind when the situation requires it. For now though I'll just take some wet puffs on the Ammit:
I came prepared considering the struggles last night
@SmokeyJoe It does seem like the SXK BB have a lot of issues, but to be honest the mod itself has no issues at all, you will see the problem is either ohm's jumping or dry hits, I have 4 x BB's 4 x Insiders, 2 x Exo's and 0 x problems. When you get a new Exo or Insider, first thing you do is dissemble it completely and clean of all machine oils and residue, clean the threads properly (I do this with any new atty) assemble and make sure the positive pin is seated tightly (No more ohm's jumping or dry hits) if you do this and you do a popper wick and do not try do a cloud RDA build on it, I promise you it will be perfect. I also loved the SM 22 but have not used any of my old gear since I got my first BB.
Thanks for this. I'll try disassemble and rebuild the atty on the next maintenance mission just to be sure I start from the best possible point.
Wait, how did he wick the Ammit so that it doesn't dry hit?
Do tell.
Some points that stuck out:
He pulled the wick back and forth quite a bit through the coil.
He thinned the wicks out very much. Looked like too much but its not. (It has juice flow control for a reason)
He cut the wicks short. Just just touching the bottom when folded down.
He blew the loose fuzzies off the wicks.
He folded the wicks down neatly making sure they are nicely spaced out and covering the juice flow holes but not tightly packed at all.
@Amir, is that about right? It is still vaping like a champ!
Sounds just about perfect. Trick is to keep the wicks as fluffy as possible with little to no strain on the tails when tucking or folding into juice wells.
You can even do with a little more wick like less thinned out but the thinner the wicks the wetter the vape and I love that lip smacking, juice in the mouth feeling.
You made it look so easy. I'm dreading my next rebuild. I have a feeling I'm gonna have to find something else to buy from you so that you can rewick it for me again at some point
Haha, I joke. I'm sure with your demo, pointers and some practice I should be able to get it sorted
