    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    Temco isn't bad wire per se, but LV is wrapped a bit nicer and does make a difference in the beginning. Once you bang out a nice Clapton then and fused Clapton it will be worth the wait. It does take some time in the beginning. Personally as I'm spinning my Clapton wire around the core I have...

    Ok, when you have your core wire wrapped into your swivel, how are you claptoning? Working off the spool, or taking a few arm lengths off the spool and wrapping?

    Thank you. Couple of questions so I know where to start helping. Are you using swivels to wrap your Clapton coils?

    I haven't been on here in awhile and man i can't believe how ignorant and arrogant you are homie. I mean pages 412-413 were you praising yourself, and if by what you shared with people as trying to help, you need a tune up on your vernacular. Something tells me you either get or people want to...

    Making it a point again to keep up to date with the forum. @Tom Forde inspired me to try building the baby aliens. First few attempts got thrown across the room, which i'm not proud of. took a step back and dove back in 28x3/38 through the posts on the petri V2 which is a pain because they made...

    Nothing wrong with that. Lately during the day/ working Ive been using a griffin or mutank and stopped using watts to find my sweet spot. Im chasing flavor too so I set my mod for 3.5-3.75 so its a nice ramp up, but not to warm and all flavor.

    It looks like you vape max vg and your coils just need a cleaning. Dry burn them glowing a few times and try to blow the char off of them. I dry burn a few times than I'll dunk them in a cup of water upside down (obviously not firing it). Get it red hot and dunk just the coils. Than while mod...

    Do your best to stretch it to the exact width you need and go with the flow, as in let the wire do all the work. I hold it 6-8" away from the core wire and just let it slip through my fingers. I've only done 38g so you're way ahead of me brother. For the smaller wire I started wearing static...

    Clapton coils?

    Hey man, it really seems like you're stirring things up here and trying to get people's goat at this point. I'm not going to argue because you have valid points. But I do believe you're purposefully being demeaning and it's unnecessary. Let's all take a step back and chill

    Hey all thanks for all the input, but unfortunately I tried everything mentioned. I met a few other mini owners that said they had the same issue with their rba base. I called mad vapes and left a message explaining what's going on. Hopefully they can help out. I felt bad leaving a message...

    My tfv4 rba section says "check atomizer" on the 6 different mods I own. Was one one the main things I wanted it for. :( I tried some of the other coils that came with and bleh, which I feel bad about because it was a gift. I'm a dripper so that's probably why. Going to call mad vapes tomorrow.

    I have it wide open. The coil and wick are covering a good amount of the deck so that staves off a lot of heat. I also have a custom drip tip on it, but mainly I think it's because I don't run that watts too high. 55 watts is only throwing 3.75v at it. I typically run my builds, depending on the...
