Awhile ago I bought myself a Mutation x V4 rba and the guy at the shop built it for me.
Today I built my own deck, tell me what you guys think!

May I ask the reason for the two statements below? I ask because I have an istick 50w, and the same Mutation, I've built to .5-.8 and for some reason, .3-.4 always ends in hassle. I notice the tones, so I'm assuming there's a reason I have trouble enjoying it if you guys recognize it as odd. Can you offer advice?

What is the build at .3-.4Ω and why is it ending in a hassle ?

I'm confused, is my build not good? I'm only learning about RBA's now

As am I, that's why I am asking. Mine is 26g.
It feels as if wicking is irrelevant, flavor isn't better, and watts do more damage faster (dryness) I feel no gain at .3 and 50w, than I do with .5 or .6 with 50w, actually seems to keep wicking going longer without dryness, and it seems that wicking is more forgiving.

I cannot say if yours is good or not. That is for you to decide if you enjoy it. Personally the lower I go the more annoying it becomes at the same watts. Same wicking. Same liquid. I get burns ruined wicks, near instant dry hits after 2 or 3 puffs. None of this occurs when at .5ish. It's actually wonderful.

Hmm, I'll have to try a .5 build sometime and see if I find the same conclusion

Now that you mention it, I do only get up to 4 puffs before tasting dry... Just assumed that was a normal occurrence

It's not, Not from build videos I've seen... I get 6 sometimes 8 hits at 40w before sry hitting at .5. Maybe I am messing something up when aiming for lower. The original reason I asked is the initial tone of the responses to your post, they seems to think it was odd to have .29 on a 50w, which promoted me to think this May be my chance to find out my troubles, heh.

No no, that's why we're here I guess lol. I have issues on things and go to ECF. VU has interning things. But yeah, I do the slightly spaced .5 builds and it's decent. I try .29, I achievement but it's a horrible fight to keep it happy, my coil I mean. I took a .3 to work last night, ended up having to switch to a Protank Mini drip tip instead of wide bore, due to it destroying multiple SATURATED wicks after only 3 or so puffs, where .5 got me through fine.
