Atopack Penguin - Coil issue - is it just me?

Got my new Penguin yesterday, did everything right (probably)

1st coil 0.6ohm MTL
primed the coil
filled in only 2ml juice as trial (60-40 - Malaysian - AJ vape Honeydew Melon - 6mg)
let it sit with juice in it for 15 minutes
Vaped - loved it
30 minutes later, bummer - "Burnt taste"
Checked the tank, there was still some juice in it

I was like, maybe the juice was less, I was chain vaping, vaping angle prevented juice from entering the coil (since it is a horizontal design)

2nd Coil 0.6ohm MTL
primed the coil really really well
Also used a pin to fluff and poke the cotton from the top - no holes
filled in only 8ml juice (60-40 - Malaysian - AJ vape Honeydew Melon - 6mg)
let it sit with juice in it for 15 minutes
Vaped - loved it
30 minutes later, I am sort of a feeling that the same story is about to be repeated again"
I removed the coil 5 times primed it again and again to avoid burning the coil. Seems ok after that.
It seems i will have to use it like a dripper :)

Now;
- is it just me?
- is it my juice?
- is the juice too thick that it fails to enter the coil - i feel the juice is thinker but can it fail to enter the coil?
- is this a known issue with penguin (but 30 minutes is ridiculous for such expensive coils)
- Am I missing something?


BTW the mod is cool, battery seems to hold, clouds are great, flavour is great I am a 20-25W vaper so it has a hard hit for me but have adjusted the pull.

I am having the exact same experience! Did you find any solution?

Increase your VG. @60/40 its flavorful no doubts but its also very thin juice. Meaning it will leave your wicking pretty much instantly, and if you take long inhales and chain vape, this is not going too work.

So yes use a higher VG juice or/and decrease the time of inhale or/and give it at least a moment too resaturate that wicking material.
