Pulse Squonker weak hitting

[Blokhead981]

i dont have the pleasure of owning one of these mods, however from the reviews ive seen the kill switch/saftey switch may be your issue.
I have noticed it is supposed to clamp a small tang both front and back when enabled for vaping, is it possible that the switch isnt clamping properly resulting in your lost power.

I would also like to add that i find personally that a sony vtc5A 18650 does appear to hit harder than an Ijoy 27000 (5leg) battery

I've pinched the kill switch clamp together to make as solid a contact as possible (a few people have mentioned it helped with the voltage drop) and it did make a slight difference. It's odd, but I may have to ditch the 20700s and stick to 18650s.

I'm using single Smut aliens in my Pulse 22's at 0.3ohm & don't have an issue. The Pulse mod doesn't hit quite as hard as my Rockmodz but it's not enough to worry about.

I may have to give single coils a go and see if I can get anything near to what I'm expecting to get out of it, afterall, it is a mech and should perform like one. I have had no issues with builds before and I have always used dual coils. Whilst I fully appreciate the benefits to squonking, I may end up ditching the pulse mod and going back to just dripping if I can't sort it.

It's a shame I can't upload a video because that would give you guys a good insight into what I'm getting, or not getting...

i had the same issue with it hitting weak, what i found was the safety switch was a tad loose & was not making a full contact, a litttle nip with screw driver & works fine.

I'll have a look and see if it's a little loose, thanks for the suggestion.

Just had a look and it's definitely tight, still no difference. Just to try and give you guys an insight without a video, with 24g parallel kanthal A1 dual coils, 3mm ID, 6 wraps (came in at 0.15ohms on my tab mini) it took 4 seconds before they started to glow. I know kanthal won't ramp up anywhere near as quickly as ni80 or ss, but 4 seconds seems like a long time to me.

I never build bellow 0.2 and actually have the classic brochrome flatwire (stealthvape) in the pulse and flave currently and it packs a hell of a punch.
Maybe worth checking with a electrical meter to see how much drop off your getting.

See I've got a mate who is the same as you using Flatwire on his squonkers and tube mechs and he only has to hold the fire button for 2 or 3 seconds and he gets insane clouds. I've got a fluke in work, I'll have a check tomorrow and see what the voltage drop is like.

What guage of flat wire are you guys using 24awg!

It depends what I want really, tend to stick to either 22g or 24g though. I have done some at 20g and it was a little too wild for me [emoji28]

I have the same issue. I get a decent cloud, good flavour, but the hit is non existent. Like vaping 0 nic liquid.
