You bloody geniuses.
Wicked the way @Rob Fisher showed us, and it works. I've been through 2 tanks so far, so it's theoretically still early days - but it's the best result I've had so far. It looks like it should flood, but it doesn't at all.
There was a bit of a false alarm at one point - I heard the familiar pops that start just before a dry hit happens (but this was on a long drag, it happened about 4 seconds in). But then I noticed the wattage was set to 38W... for this coil (0.25 ohm, framed stapled alien coil from @smilelykumeenit ) I found the sweet spot to be at 30W. That thing heats up FAST. I always thought that with resistance that low you need 40W+, but not in this case. Anyway! Back to 30W it went and boom. 6 second drag without a dry hit.
Not that I usually go for the 6-second drags. Usually mine are 3 seconds, maybe 4 seconds MAX if it's restricted hit. But I do turn my airflow to the smallest setting - I know Rob well enough by now to assume that's where he's got his at too
I also put a slightly smaller driptip on there.
The one downside to all the testing and rewicking and testing over the last week (it was the Ammit and the Skyclone in one week) was that I literally ran clean out of my stock of DIY juices. Did an emergency mixing session tonight.. I currently only have my menthol BB adv's left - but I'm certainly not brave enough to try those in the Ammit. Don't look so disappointed, @Silver I like my lungs and throat in the shape that they are. I have ONE bottle of a reject DIY juice left somewhere, but it's a dead-on clone of Dettol. I'll pass. Unless the nicotine craving gets real, then, yknow.... FOR SCIENCE.
I was also just reminded of the fact that my wicking reports need to have a good measure of bad luck in them to satisfy the schadenfreude people have (you bastards), so I can at least happily report that the Skyclone leaked juice from the airholes a few minutes ago. Will report more on that in the Coppervape thread, but I know what's wrong this time.
Bloody hell, it's 1AM. What kind of masochistic hobby is this.
