Subtank rba help

[Babilonian]

So I decided to use the rba for the first time.
First I had a problem finding the perfect watts setting. It shows 0.6omhs so I didn't know what watts to use. 25 watts was too worm. 20 watts with the full air intake open was better. However, after few hours, I was getting a harsh burning vape.!

I probably was burning the wick. Will open it to see. Any suggestions on what I should use for settings?

27 watts is the Ohm's law parity value for 0.6Ω, however, that doesn't take into account wire gauge or number of coils in parallel. Too thin a wire, and the coil radiant heat will be too high, too thick and it will be a cool vape.
I'm guessing you're using too thin a wire for the wattage, and reducing wattage to 20 watts, other than using a thicker wire , or reducing resistance... is your best course of action.

First, Lower your wattage. You don't have to vape at high watts to get a good vape experience. Next, Make sure you are wicking it properly. I find Pancake wicking works best for me and I keep it under 20 watts.

Here's a good Pancake wicking tutorial -

I was using the 1.2 coil and it said on it 12-25 watts. @ 12 was what I liked. But I couldn't understand what sub omhs is all about. So when it read 0.6, I couldn't do 12 watts. It was very weak and poping.
