Scratchy hits no flavor

[Tuck]

Im running a 30ga, 7/8 wrap micro coil, cotton,1.8ohms on a Kraken & 4nine mod. The vapor production is great but the flavor is dry and scratchy, don't see any hot spots with no wick it glows from middle out pretty fast, if I throw this juice in my Kanger Protank 2 w/ a 2ohm coil on a ego battery it tastes great but the vapor production is not as good of course. I have tried different diameters and no luck, is it getting to hot too fast maybe? If i went down to 1ohm or so I think it would be worse right? should I go up in ohms? Any idears?????? Thanks in advance.

What is the wicking material?

cotton

Maybe use thicker gauge wire? IDK?

What juice are you vaping?

Also those genesis style tanks never wick well with cotton, at least in my experience. Maybe take one of the screws off for better air flow??

I set up my Genny with the steel mesh wick wrapped in a layer of cotton, I use 28 gauge wrapped 12/11 times.. and of course, always vape tipped at cigar smoking level to keep the wick wet..(wick down). If you throw this on a regulated PV you'll get your best vaping experience, in my opinion, and best flavor! And yes, I would try higher ohms on a regulated device.

Vaping Dirty Dutchman 50/50 from ITC Vapes. I used ss mesh for wicks a while back and it was super fussy but when it was right it was RIGHT! Dont want to do the ss mesh on a mech mod tho seems like a time bomb to me. So maybe try some eko wool?

You could take a blunt nosed needle and thred it down the side of the cotton to open a bit of a channel in it... and tilt n tip ALOT

Yeah judging by the photo your cotton is packed in there too tight. If there's no way for air to get in it will be trying to pull the juice out of a vaccuum. You could even take one of the screws off and use a long piece of cotton and put each side of it in two separate holes so that it's drawing juice from both sides.

So mAybe a thinner wick and loop it to another hole. Trying that now!!!!

Thanks for the idea. Stay tuned.

Thinner wire is going to heat up faster, 32 is about the ceiling end on of flavor and ease of working with.
Wicking it is the toughest part, finding that happy spot between choked and flowing without hot spots.

Yes I think that could work really well. I think you'd still have to tip it to saturate it but that's just the nature of the genny.

Well that seemed to work pretty good made wick a lil thinner too. Thinking about building coil horizontal instead of vertical so juice / wick won't have to travel up as high and have a sharp turn at top of coil
