My genuine Veritas arrived today after 3 months..I did a nickel single horizontal and one vertical coil 28g,2mm,0.09 ohms, 15 Joules.I am using the Yihi SX mini with most atomizers I have. I was surprised when I put my e-liquid Five Pawns Grand Master to the KGD cotton and pushed the button just to see if all are ok. I saw the positive leg of my NI200 coil to be ''too hot -red''- after a second...When I tried to repeat that, a flame came through the cotton near the hot leg...
I replaced the horizontal coil to an identical vertical coil. The same symptoms...hot coil wire to the positive but no flame ..
To both setups , flavor is bad ,as dry hit after a second (when the leg is going red). That hot leg even with temperature control... makes the flavor to be bad....I think the high temperature of that length of wire'' burns''
the favors inside the atomizer.
I am disappointed as I can not enjoy that RDA where hundreds of fantastic comments are written everywhere.
I am experienced to rebuildable atomizers but I can not be able to fix that issue which destroys..
the flavor of the long awaited Veritas.
Could you please help me on how to solve that problem?
Thanking you in advance
I had a similar problem using ti and temp control. I would saturate the wicks, start taking my hit, and about half a second in the vape would get *extremely* hot and the pressure would drop coming out of the RDA... almost as if I was sucking on a small jet engine. Luckily, my reaction was to stop hitting it and get it the hell out of my face meant on a hot coffee to boiling hot pizza cheese, the damage to my tongue didn't even rank hot coffee.
Turns out the problem was a hot positive leg igniting the dense vapor it produces (apparently the flameoffs that can happen when you are cooking a coil dry after you de-wick can happen violently in these circumstances). Needless to say, I was wary of the veritas for two months.
So it sat on my shelf.
But like any forbidden fruit, it must be tasted, and like any wild beast, it must be tamed.
I have an ehpro 1:1 veritas clone, so it hasn't got a reduced height deck or any of those shenanigans.
Since my main mech has a pinless "hybrid" topcap and one of my regulated mods (an old lipo 60 watt evic VT) has a stuck positive 510 pin, getting the RDA's positive 510 pin to protrude was pretty much a necessity. I tried just backing the 510 screw out and tightening the bottom positive post screw, but I noticed the positive assembly could turn when tightening the atty, which worried me about possible shorts.
I removed the positive post screw and used the insulator out of a kanger occ head to shim it a bit then reassembled.
I build dual coils using 26awg 316l stainless steel. The pictured build comes out to .21 or so ohms, and probably reaches a resistance of .3 when it starts to glow, so between airflow and the small amount of watt regulation from the TCR of the wire the vape isn't as atomic as you would expect, but it is hot, dense, and flavorful.
You can't see the legs, but I agree that having the positive legs come from the outside of each dual vertical, and having the negative leads basically come from the back/bottom of the coil makes for slightly shorter legs, and slightly easier wicking.
I use rayon, I roll a single piece then run it around the positive legs + insulator then down each coil, with the tails flattened out and running along the floor of the juice well to the "wall" so the wick will feed no matter what angle the atty is at. It may not be necessary to insulate/cool the positive coil legs and insulator with a layer of wick, but I do not find it to impede airflow, and have never tasted burnt plastic insulator despite my hot vape. Also, I don't agree with this RDA staying cool. Due to the heat and density of the vapor it makes with my build, it easily is the hottest running out of my rdas.
The build I use works terrific for TC use, I really intended the build to sit on my vtc mini, but it ends up on my praxis more often than not.
One thing I noticed nobody has mentioned is turning the top cap 180° so the draw hole is right in front of the coils rather than blowing through the deck venturi. Gives a slightly different vape.
lovely Veritas is more than fantastic now.
