RIP Trippers Pancake Method

[billgharley]

His YouTube video showing his pancake cotton method looks like something I want to try.
Would you recommend it on a Kanger subtank mini rba? He did it on a different deck, and his other video rebuilding the Kanger mini showed a different method (not pancake) of basically stuffing the cotton down and moving it away from the juice channel.

Pancake good for all rba decks?

Thanks for any comments,
Bill G.

I literally just watched his video earlier today and since I needed to rebuild my Subtank mini RBA I rewicked it using his method and so far its been good. Of course mine dont look near as good as his but as long as I dont get dry hits its all good. I have always just pushed the tails of the wick down on top of the deck as close as possible to the juice channels without blocking them.

Have no idea if its good for all RBA decks im gonna try it on my Orchid V2 right now. Have been getting tons of dry hits with it after never getting 1 with my V4&V5. Ill let you know, never hearts to try.

I get dry hits on the .5ohm on any wattage above 18. Hence the question. Glad to hear it's working out for you. I'm going to give it a try as well.
Thanks for the reply.

I have used this wicking method in a Lemo, Lemo drop, and a Delta II (RBA mode), with juices anywhere from 80vg/20pg, all the way to 50/50, and have yet to get a dry hit. I used to get dry hits before I started this method because of the higher VG content I use, and have been loving it since. Hope to have been of some help.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Definitely a lot of help as I am going to give it a go and see how it turns out.
I'm new to building so I'm sure I'll muck it up, but I'll learn...slowly!

I wonder if this can be done with rayon?

Not sure. I have been thinking of trying Rayon, but I just love the organic-ness of japanese cotton. let me know how rayon vapes, and I may be interested in trying it out

 

[shatteredsoul76]

It does work with rayon, its all I use.

I couldn't get it to work sustainably on my lemo. Tried all different lengths.

Woohoo my first post.

I tried the pancake method a week ago and haven't looked back since. Standard organic cotton balls wicked just slightly tight. So far I've tried .4 .6 .8 up to 30watts. Lemo, Lemo drop, sub tank minI, all fantastic.
