Vapeshell wicking

[Razuddin]

Guys,

Apologies for the onslaught of vapeshell/BB questions now that i have recieved my BB.

First questions i have is how do you guys wick your vapeshell? How tight/loose? Do you thin the ends?

Ive put one build in, coilology fused claptons. I think its dual 28 over 38. Coming out to 0.3ohms. Dont think its wicking as quick as id like, i get a slight harsh taste after about 4 vapes

Wicking at 12.08 and that is pretty much how i do both of mine and have never had a problem with them. Hope it helps

Yep, as above in video. I only vape at low watts, high ohm, so I don't know about low ohm performance.

 

[Martvb60]

Same with lower ohms @rew i use 0.50 in one of my vapeshells at 27.5 w wicking is great.

Thanks chapd, il follow that video when i rewick later. Im thinking i may have put a touch too much cotton in when i wicked it. Will try again with a little less cotton qnd see how it goes

 

[Martvb60]

Good luck @Razuddin let us know how it goes

I wrap my own coils from Stealth Vapes clapton wire. 5 wraps at 3mm id, 0.68 ohms, 30 watts, is a good vape for me.
I think maybe fused claptons are not for the BB. You'll get good flavour with much less.

Wow!! Your poor vapeshell!!! Take that coil out and go for something sensible instead

Thanks @rew @Martvb60 I followed your advise and the video. Wicked it a lot looser then I had previously and it definitely tastes better. No harshness to the throat and the flavour is more pronounced. Im enjoying this build, will use it for a while and report back.

@MavicP thank you sir, il look at stealthvape and order some clapton coils from there.

@Rob Ooopps! Sorry boss, its all I had, apart from standard kanthal and SS wire. I opted for this out of all the fused claptons I had as its the smallest in size and fits the vs posts quite good. Its Its a coilology fused clapton 2x26/36 ohm'ing out at 0.29ohms and im putting 40w through it.

Now next batch of questions,
1 - How on earth do you loosen up the battery pins? Im going to grow biceps just pulling out the battery with the enclosed sleve/fabric piece.
2 - When using the black fabric piece, it slightly lifts one side of panel which flops about in your hand ever so slightly. Alternative I could just not use the fabric but then how would I remove the battery?

Don't have a fabric piece in mine. I just pull out battery from negative end a bit first and then the positive end. It's a tight fit though
