Guys, why is the wick near the coils this colour when my juice is pale yellow (almost clear)? Vaping Tristan's Fuji Apple.

I reused the 6 wrap 26/32 clapton, dry burned it and dipped it in water. Soaked the cotton last night and vaped it a few times, left it untouched overnight.
Took it out for a drip in the afternoon today and it's this colour.

Am I wicking it incorrectly or is this normal?

Normal.

Claptons take longer to heat up...and they also take longer to cool down; retaining a lot of heat is one of their characteristics. In juices with more sweetener, after you're done vaping the retained heat keeps on cooking the juice and you'll get continued caramelization/carbonization of the juice until the heat is dissipated.

This can be lessened to some small extent by making spaced coils which will cool faster, and by leaving the AFC/juice control open for awhile after u r finished vaping. But if u like yr current build, I'd not worry about it....just dry burn and rewick more often lah. The main thing is that u enjoy yr vape.

Yeah, takes me a few puffs on my ipv d3 before getting a warm vape.

I might try the spaced coils, can I do spaced with claptons?
*
Of course u can! U may even get improved flavor with spaced wraps on yr clapton wire. If you've never seen a spaced wrap clapton build b4, google images for smok tf-rca . It comes from the factory with a single spaced wrap clapton coil installed.

wow so many posts, refer back the mod chips give different flavours and firing I for once agree on this. my ipv4s give much more better flavouring compare to cuboids and the funny part is i have two cuboids and both got it in different time one is 3 month ago one is recently both of the mod give me different kind of firing and flavours intensity lol I have no idea anyway but u hardly notice them if you are not a dripper user and firing on much higher wattage.

that one pack of Kendo can last how long 25buck is still an okay price though.
*
Looks like fate stepped in and is saving me from owning the cuboid?? rclxub.gif Maybe I'll be better off with an IPV5...but I can't get that the beautiful (and freaking expensive) SX mini Q-class out of my head sad.gif
Idea: maybe u can try reverting the firmware to an older version...see if it makes a difference?

I'm on my 3rd packet of Kendo. First and second time I bought it, cost Rm28/packet, 3rd one cost Rm25. Mostly used on drippers. How long it lasts depends on how often u change wicks lah! biggrin.gif Most of the time if I switch flavors, I'll rewick. It definitely has less flavor-creep than muji...however I prefer not to have any mixing of flavors at all...I'm fussy about that! Don't believe the claim of kendo holding 2X more juice...but the claims for longevity, burn resistance, flavor and wicking are realistic in my experience.

Googled the image, looks real clean.

Hm, how should one even out the hot spots for spaced coils ? From what I've been doing, I use tweezers to press the coils together. Assuming a different method is used for spaced coils?
EDIT: Is this authentic from VE?
https://vapeempire.ecwid.com/#!/Geek-Va...tegory=14084732

FT is selling it for $35.99 (approx. RM145), and VE is selling at only RM130.
*
I usually just short-pulse the spaced coils at low wattage: 19 or 20W. Be gentle and a bit patient. Pause pulsing and check your posthole screws for tightness every so often. Eventually the glow will be even and emanate from the inside-out.

VE will state clearly if an item is a clone. In all probability that Avocado is genuine. No harm if u were to ask them about it.

Cool approx 2ml can hold i guess just I afraid of closing the cap will squeeze the juice out If you know what I mean with the velocity cap. other than that gonna wait for this baby reach at my doorstep.
*
She'll hold around 2.5ml...15 to 20+ tokes. Call it the "scottish" roll, swiss roll or jamban roll, that's how I been wicking drippers since the days when we had to boil cotton balls biggrin.gif

Never had a prob with Velocity's cap squishing out any juice.
Note the right wick in the photo...that's how it should be positioned after priming. The left wick needed to be tucked in a bit more; juice causes wicks to expand. The juice well is still dry at this point. After the wicks have expanded and been tucked in properly, proceed to add more juice into the well till it's maxed out. Put back the cap....no squishing! smile.gif

Thats a fuse clapton right? how is your wattage and ohm? I stopped using clapton on velocity it become too hot to handle though.

Yup fused clapton... 0.28 ohms on this build, 65W on creamy juices. It's kanthal and only in clapton form I don't get that iron taste...regular kanthal coils tend to give me a mouthful of Fe regardless of wattage or juice, and I still dunno why.

Vape Empire also sells them if u wanna buy locally.

Here's a bit of irony...Singapore banned vape outright, and my latest parcel from FT is coming via Singpost biggrin.gif Yeah I know it's an overseas service and my vape stuff prolly won't go thru singapore at all, but still....ironic!

Oh b4 i forget, even tho the clapton wire looks clean and has no visible oil, I run it thru the ultrasonic cleaner with a bit of detergent all the same.

Where do you guys go for value for money shops?

Man has limited needs, unlimited wants.

Many a time I have to take a step back and seriously ask myself if it is sensible spending to buy more vape gear which I don't need, and can easily live without.

The honest answer is "no".

Guess it's time to rein it in and cruise along with what I have (for a while) brows.gif

No such thing as "must get". Needs and wants will vary from person to person. 3 clapton coils r more than enough for me...for now brows.gif

Been asked about why in many youtube vids on rolling wicks, the guy just simply tears off a bit of cotton from the ball, anyhow rolls it between his hands, and shoves it into the coil. Well I don't do it that way.

Wickipedia biggrin.gif This is how I prefer to use ball cotton. If I don't have time/energy, then cotton pads are way handier...but I find this ritual of working with a ball of cotton to be very relaxing.

Firstly note how the fibers run in the ball of cotton. Select a portion where MOST of the fibers will be running in the same direction, and tear off an appropriately sized piece.
user posted image

Gently tug the piece, one small part at a time to thin it out and make it more even in density. Lumpy cotton makes for uneven wicking rates.
user posted image

Remember you want the fibers to be running ALONG the length of the wick. Choose the proper orientation and roll away!
user posted image

Got 2 wicks out from that piece, but the work is not done yet.
user posted image

Place the wick on a towel and roll it more to get a more even cylinder-shape...but don't compress it too much! U want the wick to still have some bounce in it.

Install the wicks, trim, prime, juice up and enjoyyyy!

andyng38 I'm using kendo now, not to be poisoning anyone just my own verdict this shit is worth the moolah

have some hard time to calculate how much cotton I suppose to tear off and roll it like the Scottish technique, still learning to use lesser cotton( wasted quite abit) despite the fact is not cheap to gone to waste, so all the cut of the cotton I keep it and might reuse them in the future preventing gone to waste.
dripping juice and soak the cotton also completely different challenge, first fillin into juice the cotton seem like unable to suck up the juice and I have pull them out with a tweezers and try to press them a little pressure then the whole roll of cotton only become wet previous the side is hardly even soak in. second fillin on my second dripper found a way to make the cotton soak up easily. just fire 1-3s allow the heat to suck up the juice and it works within a minutes cotton completely wet and ready to vape.

final verdict
Vape on it, flavours intensity increased, cloud production even greater hold quite huge amount of juice and very clean taste no cotton taste at all. Now have to test how long it can hold of the taste and how long the cotton will require a change.

Oh last thing im always firing at 40w but now it does give me a sense that I able to fire more higher so im firing at 50w now let see how well the cotton can last from the heat.
*
rclxms.gif rclxms.gif I'm happy u r enjoying the kendo! I made a little how-to in post#1164 in case anyone needed it.

Suggest u first practice making wicks on cheap pharmacy cotton balls (but don't use them to vape unless they been boiled to get rid of bleach etc). In time, u can easily agak-agak quite accurately how much cotton to tear off, and how much to roll to suite the inner diameter of yr coils.

Those pieces of Kendo can be reused. If in the future u find that the wick u r rolling is a bit thin and not wide enough, u can patch that area up with one or a few thinly-stretched out bits of Kendo. If you have the time (and a lot of bits), they can even be "weaved" into a new wick! Very little waste.

In most of my max VG juices, I add some saline solution to improve lubricity, enhance flavor and minimize dry-mouth (VG is a humectant and can be very drying). Because of that I guess, I have no probs priming any wick...just paint it on and the juice will work into the cotton in 10-15 seconds. But your pulse-firing will work too.

I've taken kendo wicks up to 85W...no problems...so u should be able to easily fire at 50W or higher. Enjoy the sweet fruits of yr wicking work!! smile.gif

thanks. im soo gonna try this.

what the usually precentage u use for saline water.

2%?
*

You're welcome smile.gif

There's no usual percentage. It depends on your intention, VG percentage, the kind of juice, and how much less-dry u want yr mouth to be when u vape.

A few examples:

Fruity juices: 1%-1.5% can make most fruit flavors "pop" and be more prominent. A few flavors eg green mango can get by with 0.75% and still be ok. Rose candy benefits from 0.5% saline.
Creamy juices: 2% will make a pie crust/cookie/donut juice taste more savory.
Tobacco juices: 0.75%-1% can lessen harshness and make a tobacco flavor taste more full-bodied,smoother and emphasize the mid-notes. If using Blackfire, it may need up to 1.5%, depending on % of flavoring.
Popcorn juices: If u want a salty flavor to contrast with the caramel, or compliment the butter, you'll have to start at a minimum of 4% saline. Any less and u won't really taste much salt. I'd say 5 or 5.25% is better...BUT your other flavorings will have to total at or over 21% in order to compensate for the dilution by the saline.

Bear in mind that I'm just relating my own experiences...you may have to adjust the saline and flavorings to suit yr own tastebuds, but those percentages can give u a decent starting point.

Im a beginner in brewing my own juice for personal use. So just came across this conversation. How does saline water help in brewing? It makes the juice taste better?
*
In post#1174 I had described 4 of the ways saline helps improve certain types of juices.

It provides our tastebuds some contrast, counterpoint and reinforcement of the focal flavor(s) in a juice. The water in saline helps smooth flavors and provide better mouth-feel. VG (glycerol) and PG (propylene glycol) are forms of alcohol (the "ol" at the end of their names is a clue to their origin) and do tend to have a very drying effect on tongue and mouth tissues...adding a bit of water in the form of saline helps lessen that drying effect.

On a slight tangent, we add salt to many of our foods for the same reason....to improve flavor. Our bodies need salt too for proper functioning. Try adding a small pinch of salt to yr coffee or tea...u may be surprised at an enhanced taste! smile.gif
I find it a bit ironic that Na and Cl in their original forms are poisonous to us, but when combined to become NaCl, it becomes a substance that is essential to human life.

One more very easy way to make yr juices taste even better: don't put in nicotine. You'll get more flavor. But if u still need nic, then just go ahead lah.

Really thank you so much for your explanation. I shall look into it and mix accordingly.

Appreciate it.

Edit - I would like to go jn more defails on my juice.

Usually fruity flavour like apple, manggo lassi, yellow manggo and green manggo.

Using premix vg/pg 70/30 3mg nic.

Everytime I brew I make 25ml cuz my test tube only 25ml with 15% flavouring included.

All with 7 drops of sucralose and 7 drops of cooling agent.

So from what I understand I need to bump up my flavouring to 20% with few drops of saline? I learnt that contacg lense solution is also saline, cna I use that?
*
DON'T USE CONTACT LENS SOLUTION!! It is not meant for vaping...some have preservatives and antibacterial/antifungal chemicals in it.

Simple recipe for DIY saline at post #1170. U can scale it down to make smaller batches if u can't use so much at a time. Fresh saline is always better....less chance of contamination.

If u use saline at 4%-5.25% and up, then bump up yr flavorings to at least 21%. If it's only 0.5%-2% saline, u can probably get away with not adding more flavoring. Trust yr tastebuds to adjust accordingly.
