    Vandy Vape Mesh 24 RTA

    I'm about 6/10 on successful re-wicks -- still trying to pin down the variable. Most of my problems, as highlighted above, seem to stem from thin bits of cotton getting trapped on the sides of the post when clamping the mesh down. I would start there. The alternative to being very careful about...

    Vandy Vape Mesh 24 RTA

    No problem. I'm using a clear juice, so when I notice the wick browning (after only a tank or two) it's usually an indication that the cotton is getting burnt somewhere. In a vertical coil, it will even wick itself to the top and turn the whole thing dark/brown. Hard to put into words, but...

    Vandy Vape Mesh 24 RTA

    That sounds like a hot spot or a thin strand of cotton. Is your wick browning? I'll try to get a pic posted. In the meantime, this is a decent build video (although i dont use a toothpick or needle for wicking):

    Vandy Vape Mesh 24 RTA

    Not the best picture, but if you look right above where the browning is on the cotton, you can see a slight elbow in the mesh that's pinching a small bit of cotton up against the side of the post. It's not enough cotton; therefore, it burns quick. Just posting in case anyone else has a similar...

    Vandy Vape Mesh 24 RTA

    My biggest contributing problems were that my loop was too short. And, was not perfectly round; therefore, I had a tiny/thin strand of cotton pinched between the hoop and post that was getting hot. I took my time and made sure my mesh strand was as near perfect to round as possible today and I'm...

    Vandy Vape Mesh 24 RTA

    I think I figured out what my problem was. I did a burn with it juiced up and didn't notice any hot spots. Screws were tight. So I went ahead and threw the tank on. Started out good, but I got a bit of a burnt taste after a dozen or so pulls. Yanked it out again and noticed that the wick...

    Vandy Vape Mesh 24 RTA

    Thanks for the tip! I'll try wicking it again and report back. I've had a little better luck with the last go around -- still getting close to burning from time to time. I used a little less cotton and just made it fluffier. When checking for hotspots with mesh (wicked)...am I primarily...

    Vandy Vape Mesh 24 RTA

    Still trying to figure this one out. I'm getting very stark differences in pulls -- falling between one of the best vapes I've had, to riding the line of burning. My wicks are all getting very dark at the top, fast. Mesh burn is obviously even...so I'm struggling to find what variable to move...

    New Youde RTA the Bellus

    Whelp, thanks, that did the trick. This thing likes a lot less wick in the channels than most that I've tried this year.

    New Youde RTA the Bellus

    So I can't quite get my first build nailed down. I would normally be trying to figure it out on my own, but this is the first time I've had trouble wicking an RTA in a while (Crius, Cthulhu v2, Goblin mini and the Aromamizer being the most recent). My problem is that I keep getting "half-dry...

    Does anyone know of another store that carries VS DNA 200 skins?

    OBS Crius RTA?

    I've never been clear on what Gearbest's deal is -- is that an authentic, or a clone?

    Aromamizer RDTA by Steam Crave

    Alright I'm caving -- anyone that has both the 3ml and 6ml, can you comment on the difference in flavor?

    Smok TFV4 Sub Ohm Tank

    I wonder if th Black TFV4 full size is going to enjoy any of the mini's "design refreshes"

    Aromamizer RDTA by Steam Crave

    I so want one of these, but I can't get passed the band AFC. I constantly float between a very resistive lung hitter, and a medium airflow setting. This doesn't seem conducive to changing the airflow setting every 15min.

    Does anybody have the black mini in-stock? Everywhere that has the mini seems to only have stainless

    Cthulhu RTA V2 (similar posts to the velocity rda)

    I've had the Goliath v2 and the Goblin mini, and while I really like my Goblin mini, I can't think of an area outside of machining that the Cthulhu V2 isn't a clear cut better than them in. And with top fill (despite not being a "great" method) and the velocity style deck, ease of use is also a...

    Vaporshark DNA200

    Same boat. I just emailed VapeNW, since they are going to carry the VSDNA200, and asked if they planned to carry the skins (and pleaded for them to). That might be the best option for those wanting to get in on this mod without the risk -- it really is a great mod, so this is all very...

    Smok TFV4 Sub Ohm Tank

    I was curious what that setup would look like -- where did you get your black TFV4 from, out of curiosity?
