Hi all,
New to the forum but not to vaping. Have made my way through various shiny things and have just acquired the rather lovely Rose 3 (TPD, but plus the maxi kit), and am hoping for a bit of advice.
The first build was pretty standard, with a straight wick (the type I've used for about a year in a Squape RS) but I opened the juice flow far too much and immediately flooded the thing. Took it completely apart, cleaned it, rebuilt it but this time with an S wick, thinking it might counter the flow if opened too much again. Buggered that one up too, think I must have twisted the deck when I put it back together so the cotton wasn't in front of the holes... Opened the juice flow up and watched an entire tank immediately drain through the air holes all over my dicodes box. Sigh.
I'm on my third build now - which is the first successful one. 28awg kanthal, 3mm ID, 6 wraps, coming out about 1.4ohms. Straight wick, cut flush to the chimney thread. Tweaked the juice flow and airflow until just right.... And boom. Amazing flavour, creamy airflow. Love this thing. I'll keep this going for a couple of tanks then try to tweak and improve. I'm a happy tinkerer.
My question is about what you all do with the Rose when you've put it to bed. Do you close the juice control off completely when you're not vaping? My only experience of an atomiser with juice control like this was the KF4, and I bloody hated it. It was so temperamental - one slight nudge or something wrong and it'd leak all over the place. It ended up chewing up the threading on the airflow ring, and I ceremoniously hurled it off the top of a mountain (literally). So I'm naturally a bit cautious of complicated devices like this now. While the Rose beats out the Squape on vaping quality, the Squape only has a few parts and has been utterly reliable.
I'm keen to make sure I don't jade my own experience of the Rose by doing something I should be like closing off the juice control!
Any tips greatly appreciated.
