    Liquid Barn DIY noob questions

    I said it before and I'll say it again... ECF is extremely helpful & friendly (I'd say one of the last non-toxic parts of the web remaining lol) I'm going to simplify my DIY and try sampling 3ml batches of individual flavors. So excited for a day off with my new flavor kits! Thanks all.

    Liquid Barn DIY noob questions

    There is so much info out there, it's hard to pin down exactly what I need so I apologize if I'm adding to the redundancy. I started DIY recently with a starter kit from Liquid Barn. I have a few specific questions if anyone is familiar. Firstly, I think I approached DIY incorrectly. I started...

    Beginner: Muted Flavor

    Perhaps that's my problem, I used 3.5mm. I'll definitely make it smaller next time. I've wasted a lot of cotton from trial and error lol so I wanted it to be easier. I use High VG, I'd guess 70:30 or higher. One option is to make dual coils to cut the ohms in half, I'm just very skeptical of...

    Beginner: Muted Flavor

    Your leads go through the top of the Drop's posts, so you basically drop the coil in- hence the name. So it can't go much lower. the air flow holes are level though, it's a deep RDA

    Beginner: Muted Flavor

    In that case, something else must be affecting my flavor because I'd say my coil isn't half as flavorful as the Clapton. I'll have to play around with it. There is no main culprit when it comes to muted flavor? Either the 1.5ohms or spaced coil would be my guess, if twisted wire doesn't...

    Beginner: Muted Flavor

    this is all great advice thank you. I wish I started with my own coil lol! because I kinda feel like I'm wasting my good juice, or not getting it's full potential. I'm spoiled, already haha. I've also noticed with this build, I get dry hits with no warning. Or in better words, with the...

    Beginner: Muted Flavor

    Do different types/sizes of coils really influence flavor that much? I'm new to building. I've had a positive transition to RDAs so far. I use DROP by Digiflavor with GeekVape Aegis. I used a pre-built Clapton coil (twisted 26ga+32ga) and the performance was great. Single coil build at 0.5...

    Needed: Guide to the Galaxy of RDAs

    Thanks for the info. I'm curious, running single coil on a dual+ coil deck, are the unnecessary/unused posts the downside? Or does it perform lesser than it would on a single coil deck? I don't think I have any reason to use dual coils unless I want to cut my ohms in half at some point, if I...

    Needed: Guide to the Galaxy of RDAs

    Appreciate it! That wasp nano was only $15 and looked like my style but it was sold out. Hopefully the drop is a viable choice for single coil. It came out to $80 though, I'm happy. I'll need to do a lot more research before I start making my own coils but it's a good start. Feel free to leave...

    Needed: Guide to the Galaxy of RDAs

    Okay so I have a shopping cart thrown together but I'm having trouble figuring out which Kanthal Wire to order. Here is what I have so far: The Drop RDA Cotton Bacon V2 GeekVape Mini Tool Kit Coil Master 521 Mini Tab (ohm meter) 10x Pre-built Clapton 0.5ohms I also want to get a spool of...

    Needed: Guide to the Galaxy of RDAs

    Thanks. To be honest, 33mm or 22-25mm is a foreign language to me. I'm not sure what that means but I can look up these names and see what looks simple enough. I should clarify, I only want single coil. I need something as simplified as possible because I don't even know the difference between...

    Needed: Guide to the Galaxy of RDAs

    I can only imagine this is a cliche, broken record type thread on the e-cig forums but it would make me feel much more comfortable to have experienced vapers lubricate the intimidating transition to RDAs. I've had enough of this Aspire Cleito tank! While it has treated me better than all tanks...

    Replacement Atomizer Dud

    A few times, it doesn't happen often though. The last few 0.2ohm coils I've used with my GeekVape Aegis at 40w have been fine, it was the first coil of this new pack which I categorized as a dud. This second coil from this pack seems to be good but I've only been using it for 24 hours so far. I...

    Replacement Atomizer Dud

    I fill up the juice right above the cotton chambers, so thats about 50% of the tank. And when it gets lower than the chambers, I angle/rotate my mod slightly to allow the chambers to soak. It's not called Kanthal, I use either Aspire or Coil Art atomizers but yes that is the right ohm and...

    Replacement Atomizer Dud

    True. It's likely a bad batch. No doubt my expectations are high but if the cotton looked past due, I would move on quietly lol. Now to find a cheaper source of replacement atomizers... Mystery mostly solved. Thanks everyone!

    Replacement Atomizer Dud

    @Storm52 I replaced the supposed "dud" last night but with this new atomizer, it still has a tiny bit of air flow even when sealed shut. I don't think I've ever seen air bubbles, maybe one after I fill it from empty to full but I'm not positive. I changed it last night and it's working great...

    Replacement Atomizer Dud

    Wow... I want to post my findings, in case someone else has the same trouble. I'm not certain why but when I have the glass tube attached and filled, the wick dries up immediately. However, when I unscrew the top (as to fill it) and replace it, it goes back to normal. AKA same effect I had...

    Replacement Atomizer Dud

    1.3 hours left luckily! It's a tremendous help, I was just thinking how much better I feel after getting a real puff in. Thank you.

    Replacement Atomizer Dud

    Great question... Haha I honestly can't tell from looks but rather performance. 90% of my atomizers don't ever suffer from "the 1 second crackle"

    Replacement Atomizer Dud

    Your speculation beats mine lol I've manually dripped 5 times, different juices and I've had a dozen good puffs. I'm now just wondering how this glass tube could be blocking juice from soaking the wick, when all it does is submerges it in juice. I will most definitely prime new coils...
