    What am I doing wrong?

    @AzPlumber is most likely closer here. If you were using a higher nic juice with the original device, you might need to drop nic level when you start using one that vaporizes (please don't call it smoke, we are at war here) better. I was down to 12mg juice in the Protanks I was using two years...

    Kanthal Tasting oily

    Some wire sellers don't clean off the wire very well before put it on new spools. Always check for oil first! And clean those new attiys as well. Even if you can't smell oil, there is probably still residue there.

    Geekvape Tsunami 24 RDA Tank

    I would think dripping between the posts would be your best bet. And with coils over the air holes, that should help as well. Sure, if you came in from the side, you might have a problem, but that is easy to avoid.

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    It's true. But I always wrap the same direction and these coils were wrapped weeks ago before I decided what I was going to put them in. Oh, and the wicking is still great. The only time I ever wrap in the opposite direction is when I am building 4 coils for my Rafale X using the neutral post.

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    Framed staples, .34Ω in series. Now these, I really shouldn't had try to put them in the Royal Hunter, one end of each coil was so close to the side I had to do a half wick as there would not have been enough room for the Scottish Roll. Wicks great though, even with one tail cut off. .15Ω...

    Steam Engine question.

    I leave the leg length at 5mm, it isn't enough wire to really throw off the calculation at all. The size of the jig depends on how much room you have for the coil. I tend to use 3mm these days. I used 2mm before my Zephyrus and Billow decided to stop working for me. But they have small decks.

    24 AWG Stainless core, N80 or Kanthal wrap ?

    In a Clapton, the core determines more of the performance than the wrap. It is what heats the wrap, so a quick heating core like Stainless will heat up the Nichrome or Kanthal great. I've used Kanthal on all my SS cored Claptons for the last couple months and they work great. As far as the size...

    iJoy Reaper+ question re: 'coil cap'

    Yes. that deck is designed to take two coils in parallel. No on the series.

    iJoy Reaper+ question re: 'coil cap'

    Are you talking about the part on the right of this picture? Yes, you ABSOLUTELY need that on. If it doesnt't fit your coil is too big or you have cotton blocking the threading. If the coil is too big, just make a smaller coil and if you have wick in the threads, you can fix this by putting...

    3 post rda but only 2 screws

    Does it have two posts on the outside near the sides of the RDA and one in the middle? The middle one is the positive post and yes, it can be shared between two coils for a dual coil setup. I found a pic, is this right? If you mean you lost a screw, yes, you can still put both coils in the...

    Wick change

    Depends on the juice, gunkier juice will lead to more frequent changes. Most of mine gets replaces every 30-60mL. Some lasts longer.

    Question on 22g kanthal build on Griffin 25

    1. It prob will work fine, and yes, it will take longer for those thick coils to heat up. Ramp up time become an issue when you move to the larger gauges, but they should make some nice vapor for you when get them warmed up. Expect a light first hit when they are cool, but if you hit it again...

    RDA Uwell Rafale X

    So I built this earlier today, my first try at a framed staple - But it was reading way too low for any of my devices to fire, so I built a second, messed of wrapping it and then built another, which I messed up less badly. They come in at around .3Ω om the Rafale X....this is why the neutral...

    RDA On the fence about getting a Tsunami 24

    If you use the cotton pads (like KGD), I have two words for you. Scottish roll. I use this method in all my RDAs and RTAs. Works great, lessens the chance of a dry hit, a little time consuming but the wick lasts until you want to change flavors or is gunked up beyond recognition. In a 22mm...

    How many different Vape setups do you use in a day?

    4 right now, sometimes 6. But approx 11 available. In my defense, I DIY, so there is lots of "testing" going on. When I am not in full on experimentation mode, 2-3 is more common.
