Just an update. Went through a few phases. Squonked for a while. Decided to go old school and used a Kennedy for a couple months. Decided to make a liquid fort out of an Apache case, and solved my Profile Unity RTA problem - put it in the bottle magazine and snapped the lid shut - out of sight, out of mind. Oh and my beloved Paranormal DNA mod fell off the floor and stopped working...Fuck.
Well last week I pulled out the squonks again and started playing with them. Today I though, I can not let this damn RTA just beat me - so I watched 45 minutes of videos on how to wick it. Then another almost hour on how to take it apart (threads that I forgot about were apparently gummed up).
Screwed up the coil, so recoiled carefully with Next Mesh, Wicked it with 1/2 of a piece of cotton bacon - spread out, cut in thirds and stacked (as opposed to a Scottish role. Cut it to the edge of the RTA (strait), carefully and slowly put about 2/3 into the pick up tubes and left the rest out to block the holes. Wetted the wick, put it back together, with the vents open, added some juice (Naked green lemond 75%PG), then put the cap back on. OMG.
I forgot so much of what I liked about these. This was why I went down to 3mg nic. This is why I loved Naked Green Lemon - oh the flavor is intense again. And somehow no leaks... Not sure what of all the above did it. It was flooding a little at first, but the next mesh allowed me to move the watts up a bit and that even went away. I do miss my DNA a little, but I learned a lot of variable wattage on the Aegis Legend since then and it is doing a pretty damn good time anyway.
Oh, did not mention it, but the 75%pg might have changed things a bit too - when I was using this before I think I was using Army Man (a 3mg salt nic, 100%vg). I might have had issues with dry hits due when I upped the watts to stop the flooding.
Lots of variable and no doubt I will accedentally change something and screw it up again, but for now - vaping happily.
